(Bad Singing) Oh Canada our neighbors to the north and east if you're in Alaska true hockey
okay that's enough of that today we rank the Canadian provinces in case you don't
know Canada is the second largest country on the planet right behind Russia and it has 10
provinces along with three sparsely populated territories and I mean sparsely populated like
some have three times as many moose as they have people with more than four teeth in this
video we ranked the Canadian provinces based on a survey we did to which 3 200 Canadians
responded we'll also include some pros and cons from each got it get it good let's take a look
number 10 Ontario Ontario is Canada's most populous Province and is home to major cities
such as Toronto and Ottawa its most southern city is Windsor which is right across the Detroit River
from the city of Detroit Michigan sorry about that Canada on the Northern end of the province you'll
find the Hudson Bay and the small town of Fort Stevens Ontario is known for its diverse economy
including strong sectors and Manufacturing finance and Technology the population of Ontario is about
14 million I don't know how many that is in Canadian the good things about Ontario are a
strong economy excellent education system diverse cultural scene vibrant cities and stunning natural
scenery they got a lot of open land a lot of open beautiful land I should say now the negatives are
living they got serious traffic problems in their cities especially Toronto their Rising
housing costs in some areas again especially in Toronto and they have environmental concerns
related to pollution and climate change I probably should mention Ontario's home to
Ottawa which is Canada's capital city Ontario got 189 votes
number nine Quebec Quebec is the largest Providence in Canada by land it is known for
its Rich culture and history including its unique French language and traditions they really put the
French on thick here their two biggest cities are Montreal and Quebec City on the southern end of
the province near Maine and Vermont Quebec City is right up the St Lawrence River from Montreal I'll
actually be taking a cruise out of New York City in 2024 September of 2024 that goes from New York
Boston Portland Maine and then a few other places and they finally drop you off at Quebec City gotta
actually sail down the St Lawrence River for a while should be a good time I was in Quebec City
years ago and hands down this city has some of the best architecture I've ever seen if I had my
choice I could only go to one Montreal or Quebec City I would go to Quebec City just walk around
and take pictures amazing one thing I love about Canada is the fact that their cities really only
take up about five percent May maybe of a province it's just open land Quebec is the smaller of the
two big cities here in Quebec with the city of Quebec City having a population of about 550
000 their entire metro area having about 840 000. Montreal on the other hands a big city
the city itself has 1.7 million residents with the entire metro area having a little over 4 million
so good sized cities everything else has less than 5 000 people and there's only a couple that have 2
000 or more the entire province of Quebec has 8.5 million residents now here's the good and
the bad about Quebec the good is it's got a rich culture and Heritage excellent food
stunning architecture Dynamic cities and a thriving tech industry they got a pretty good
tech industry there especially in Montreal now here's the downside they got really high taxes
here contentious language politics occasional political instability and harsh Winters
that's sort of a theme in most the Canadian provinces as harsh Winters Quebec got 197 votes
number eight Saskatchewan Saskatchewan is located in the western part of Canada and
is known for its vast prairies and agricultural Industries there are also really big in resource
extraction like gas oil and potash potash is a fertilizer that contains potassium there's
more that goes into that but I'm not Mr Wizard so I'm not going to get into it
if you go to Saskatchewan you'll find some interesting places like Regina Moose Jaw and
Saskatoon Saskatchewan is right in the middle of Canada it is above North Dakota and Montana
Saskatchewan is really a rural place the pros of Saskatchewan are rich natural resources a
strong agricultural industry like I said very friendly people and it's affordable it's got
a really low cost of living compared to the rest of Canada obviously that's going to change a bit
if you move into one of the big cities like Saskatoon now the cons harsh Winters limited
job opportunities and occasional droughts and wildfires Saskatchewan got 224 votes
number seven Prince Edward Island Prince Edward Island is a up there by Maine if you're in the
United States and looking for it one time I had a discussion with a guy and he swore it was near
Vancouver I promised him it was on the other side of the country finally got down to what he was
thinking and he was actually thinking of Vancouver Island which is right over there by Vancouver BC
case the name Vancouver Island didn't tip you off but Prince Edward Island is a small Province it's
located on the eastern coast of Canada and is known for its beautiful beaches and Rural charm
it is the smallest province in terms of both land area and population and its economy is primarily
based on agriculture and tourism a lot of cruise ships head here the longest time I thought it was
part of Nova Scotia took a geography class in college and they said no it's actually its own
Province the pros for Prince Edward Island would be beautiful beaches very laid-back lifestyle
it's a slow pace thing vibrant music and art scene tons of seafood and a very low crime rate now the
negatives or the cons it has a high cost living limited job opportunity Reliance on seasonal
Industries like tourism you know like I said the cruise ships coming through there and agriculture
it is pretty far north so it does get some pretty harsh Winters this is definitely not that tropical
island you dream about but it's beautiful nonetheless Prince Edward Island got 231 votes
number six Manitoba if you're looking for Manitoba on a map it is right above
Minnesota and North Dakota sandwich in between Ontario and Saskatchewan the
big city here would be Winnipeg they have a few very small cities and the rest are
just small towns like most of the provinces in Canada this one's pretty big it's actually 250
000 square miles and the capital of Manitoba is Winnipeg they have 1.4 million residents
Manitoba is really known for its natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities the economy
here is very diverse with major sectors including agriculture manufacturing and a lot of mining here
if you like to fish this is a good place for that the pros for Manitoba would be abundant
Wildlife amazing natural beauty affordable cost of living friendly people in a diverse economy
the cons would be severe weather conditions a lot of snow shoveling a lot of scraping ice off your
windshield limited jobs outside of Winnipeg and they get some flooding here Manitoba got 249 votes
number five British Columbia British Columbia is located on the west coast of Canada and it
is known for its natural beauty including its rugged Coastline and it's got it is surrounded
by mountains The Province economy is diverse with major sectors including forestry Mining and
Technology they got a serious technology scene in Vancouver they also got a serious homeless
population in Vancouver too I was just there in October and it was a little alarming but Vancouver
isn't the entire Province out on Vancouver Island they have Victoria up near the Alaskan border on
the coast they have Prince Rupert and a whole bunch of little towns in my opinion British
Columbia is the most beautiful one I mean they got the killer Coastline they got mountains just
a rugged landscape right outside of Vancouver but their Pros are like I said natural beauty
amazing thriving cities thriving Tech Industries diverse cultural scene here's the negatives so
not many people live outside of Vancouver or Victoria so this this kind of just reflects on
those two places they've got a very high cost living horrible traffic occasional natural
disaster like wildfires landslides and extremely expensive real estate I was looking at real estate
in Vancouver and even once you you know translate it from Canadian to American Dollars it was crazy
expensive So currently a million dollars Canadian is like 728 000 in the United States dollars
they have homes in Vancouver going for like a million US dollars that I wouldn't even pay 350
000 for here in Portland Oregon even the suburbs like Surrey were ridiculous so that's a serious
negative for British Columbia is the cost of real estate but like I said it's a beautiful
Province and I almost called it a state and when some place is beautiful and near the ocean it's
expensive British Columbia got 296 votes I think that's wrong should have got a lot more
number four Newfoundland and Labrador now this is the newest Province I should say it's sort
of new there was Newfoundland that was a province and then in 2001 they added Labrador to it so it
became the province of Newfoundland and Labrador this province has one of the most unique cities in
North America it's called St John's and for some reason these people went ham and cheese with the
pastel paints it's almost like neighbors started trying to outdo themselves on who could have the
most colorful home and it's not like they're all doing pinks this year it's all pinks no one might
be bright green one might be bright blue another one's yellow another one's red it's very unique
if you ever do visit St John's make sure you go to George Street George Street has the highest
concentration of bars and pubs in North America but Newfoundland and Labrador is located on the
eastern coast of Canada Newfoundland Labradors known for its stunning natural beauty and friendly
people the province has a rich history with a strong emphasis on fishing and the Sea however
it does also also face some challenges related to a declining population and the age of the
workforce more people are retiring than being hired on but it's Pros are like I said stunning
natural beauty unique cultural heritage friendly people Rich history abundant seafood and excellent
hiking trails the cons it's got a high cost living it's sort of to be expected kind of like Alaska
Alaska is so far away from everything well this province is also kind of far away from everything
especially like St John's is their biggest city and that's the most eastern city in North America
I really like the fact that St John's isn't too far away from a place called black tickle where
black tickle actually has their own airport the black tickle airport how do you get a name
like black tickle now when you look at their cons they've got a high cost living declining
population like I said limited job opportunities and harsh weather conditions in the winter this
place gets some pretty rough Winters most of Canada has the potential for that but some of
them are a little more than others new Funland and lab door got 353 votes I don't get that one at all
number three New Brunswick New Brunswick is located on the east coast of Canada and
is known for its natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities like a lot of these
places Canadians like to get outside and they like to do things once they're out there no matter what
the weather is in Oregon there's a saying if you waited for better weather you'd never leave the
house my other favorite one that I heard when I first moved up here was we don't cry when it rains
on our parade we expect it to rain on our parade that's how Canadians are soccer and hockey are a
perfect example it's like they were playing soccer one year and then it got too cold and they thought
you know what the Field's all Frozen and covered with snow what do we do now they're all hey look
the pond is frozen why don't we play on there of course the ice is slippery so we'll need to
put blades on our feet give each other sticks and then we'll fist fight whenever we disagree with
each other and front teeth are optional I'm really not sure how they invented hockey but I mean that
story is as good as any other New Brunswick is a really laid-back Province it's a nice place
to retire it's a nice place to relax they don't have any giant cities they're major industries are
forestry manufacturing and tourism the pros of New Brunswick is friendly people affordable cost
living beautiful scenery diverse wildlife and numerous outdoor recreational opportunities the
cons it's got limited job opportunities they don't have a lot of different Industries here
so make sure you know before you go if you're gonna move there they don't pay the best in
this one they actually have pretty low wages compared to the other provinces and they get
a lot of natural disasters floodings ice storms things like that New Brunswick got 387 votes
number two Nova Scotia Nova Scotia is on the eastern coast of Canada it is known for its Scenic
Beauty including its world famous Cabot Trail Nova Scotia is big and fishing agriculture forestry and
Manufacturing Nova Scotia is almost an island it has a little patch of land that connects
it to New Brunswick Nova Scotia is Latin for New Scotland most of the population are native English
speakers and the province population is just under a million residents here's an interesting little
fact about Nova Scotia denonyms denonims are what the people call themselves oregonians Californians
New Yorkers Floridians Canadians well in Nova Scotia you can be a Nova scotian but they also
use the word blue noser and that's not something that's new that's been around since about 1785.
the pros for Nova Scotia are the coastline it's beautiful excellent Seafood strong Arts
and Cultural scene world-class universities and a thriving economy the downside high taxes limited
job opportunities in certain areas High rate of poverty and occasional severe weather events Nova
Scotia got 514 votes all right before we get to number one if you want to help out this Channel
at the end of this video they offer you some other things to watch from this channel if you clicked
on one of those it really helps out the channel it's something YouTube's really focusing on
right now so if you got time watch another world recording Briggs video alright on to number one
and number one Alberta yeah this one surprised me I wouldn't have picked Alberta's number one
but it got the most votes Alberta is located in western Canada and it's known for having a very
strong economy which includes major sectors and oil and gas Agriculture and Technology
the province is also home to the Rocky Mountains at least part of them yes the Rocky Mountains are
not exclusive to the United States they've been big in energy and oil production forever here
Edmonton Oilers is their hockey team they also have the Calgary Flames which is my favorite
hockey team now the pros for Alberta are this they have a strong economy high standard of
living abundant natural resources and the amazing natural scenery that I was talking about they're
cons they have a heavy Reliance on the oil and gas industry occasional wildfires Rising housing costs
in some areas and environmental concerns related to Resource extraction they get some pretty bad
air quality here occasionally but Alberta is a beautiful place to live when you live in an
area with the Rockies it can be completely bad right I should have mentioned this earlier but
the mountains that they have in British Columbia well that's the Rockies also Alberta got 561 votes
all right that's today's video hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got some
information of it now go out have a great day and be nice to each other
