The weather and the swing of the seasons bring a sense of time and a rhythm to life. Also much appreciated variety. Hot days at the beach, dramatic sky and comfortable temps in fall. The harvest. The coloured leaves. The cozy indoors of winter, the winter sports and hobbies. Then spring. Birds suddenly back and noisy. Things waking up. Smell of fresh dirt and pollen. Strawberries on the way. Then back to summer. Mmmm fresh corn and water melons.

[@space4ace582]

We would welcome you and your family to Canada anytime, if you would decide to move here... Haha! It would have been nice to meet you; maybe someday. I'm not from downtown Montreal, but from a neighboring town a few minutes away. I'm happy to hear that you seemed to enjoy your stay in Montreal. I remember that you also speak some French, right? We all know you deserved a nice vacation. Come back again anytime Alex!

[@Alpejohn]

20'c and overcast is my prefered temps, any hotter is to hot. If i had sunny weather all the time i would go mad, i love rainy windy days in between. The snow in the winter is nice, belive it or not in the end of the summer im tired of nice weather and im ready for winter and snow. In the spring im tired of snow and cold and ready for summer. So its perfect! I live in Norway.

[@damolin77]

So glad you ha Alex and your family had a great time in Canada.Biggest Advantage of moving out of California is less stress.

Hello from Canada my friend....and yes your correct...the weather is terrible here!!!!

[@joseph_donovan]

One of these days I look forward to seeing Big Boss lounging on the sofa, puffing a great big cigar and humming a little ditty to himself in recognition of his sterling and inimitable feats of disassembly and reassembly of every electronic gizmo imaginable. Bravo Big Boss!

[@jeffboily6579]

THX you so much, i'm from Québec , 250km from MTL and ur are absolutly right.

[@freelander1794]

Thank you for your kind comments about Canada. I think most of us feel very proud to live here. I was borne in Nova Scotia and have lived here most of my life. You mentioned the weather. When I was a child we shovelled snow every day in winter. Most of the winter the snow banks on the sides of the road were 5 or 6 feet high (I Have Photos). Climate change has changed that. Last year we shovelled snow 3 times and to be honest we probably didn’t have to. It was less that 6 inches deep. Summer was summer and winter was winter and you new how to prepare for it. Now we never know what to expect. Most of the time it rains and then freezes and then thaws and rains again. You use to be able to bundle up and go outside and do things. You can’t do that in freezing rain. That stuff will kill you. Summers are much longer now and storms are stronger. Your right about the people. I travelled a bit with the military when I was young and Canada has the friendliest people I have ever met. So about California. When young Canadians leave this country for adventure they usually head for California. It is the only place in the U. S. that I have ever considered visiting. Maybe it’s the attraction of the warm climate or the history of the state which I find fascinating. Well Thanks for another great video and I’m glad you had a good time in Canada and I hope you come again. Every province has something unique.

[@dsirius1500]

We definitely enjoy the video. Your repair tutorials are a chilling breeze during a hot Californian summer day. Keep posting.

[@muzmalek]

Loved the prayer room!

[@aimelapierre5705]

Thanks for the compliments glad you enjoyed yourself in our country I live 526 miles north west of Montreal and I do agree with you about the weather and for the people you get all kinds of characters good or bad wherever you go. Someday perhaps I will visit California, hope to see you then. Signed : Aime From: Timmins, Ontario

[@Caps_Locke]

GREAT to have you back!

[@tsbeech]

So glad your back, we missed you.

[@mike-ology22]

English colony Canada. Respect each other, look after each other, and be good in people's lives ;). Glad you had a good time

[@jocelynhebert8393]

I am from Québec city and i am a great fan of you Alex. Thank's for saying good things from us. And you know what i work for a factory. I can tell you that most of the time your repair are better than factory!!! 🙂 Have a good day!

[@JAndrioli]

You may pin this comment. I lived in Brazil, Finland, France, and now Quebec Canada. I can tell you those impressions that people are nice, it's all true. Life here is just so sweet. And Im not a fff ruch person, just a normal dude. Me and my fiancee (from France) are both incredibly happy here. An yeah that humidity sucked but know that it's extremely unusual. Normally we have low humidity here.

[@NormAtWork]

The humidity is bad in Montreal. I lived there until I was 24 and miss it a lot. I'm in Alberta now where it's a lot drier and the heat doesn't choke you. Glad you enjoyed your visit - hope you can check out some other parts of the country next time! Try Vancouver if you can.

[@ChrisHiblerPinball]

Welcome back!

[@zitouniamine1853]

I live on the west coast of Canada(British Columbia)in an area called the Okanagan which gets extremely hot,I'm sure you would enjoy this part of Canada.Thank you for your kinds words of Canada,California is also a very nice state as well.All the best and nice to see you back in the chair.

[@pinoybtcanalysis6576]

i really missed watching your epic repairs

[@suryavanshib]

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 Nice family vacation 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@jonathane9403]

I live in Southern Ontario very near L. Ontario and the humidity is brutal on many days in the summer. In the winter during a cold snap especially if it is windy, the cold is numbing. Our government right now is very oppressive but it's true that the people are friendly and reasonable. I would expect the people of California to be friendly as well, although I haven't had the pleasure of visiting California yet.

[@magnus33john]

Wait a hour the season changes😉 I was born in Canada and lived in California so iam familer with both. The heat and lack of humidity is a plus but it basicly fails in most other areas.

[@chrisfeaka4250]

lol come to BC. no humidiy and we have provinces Alex! canada is vast.. it is not all the same! glad you had a great time!

[@hak900]

Welcome back brother, you were missed

[@wannabemgtow2540]

I lived in California for a brief period, around 3 to 4 years, and the aspect I cherished the most was the weather. It was delightful residing in a place where winter was not a concern; I often referred to it as an extended spring in California. I truly miss it. Living in a region with snowy and cold winters can be quite challenging, to say the least. I'm currently working towards relocating to Florida, although I am aware that the summer months there can be quite humid. Adjusting to the humidity is something I will need to embrace if I decide to make the move.

[@TheMetalmachine467]

Florida is now expensive people are starting to move out

[@anshadedavana]

isn't Florida the state where cyclones and storms frequently causes destruction?

[@x8jason8x]

I grew up in the Bay Area. I miss the time I grew up in more than the place, the weather isn't worth dealing with the ridiculous regulations and terrible drivers.

[@screen-protector]

Rain for 5 minutes, than sun, feels like in Scotland, even 4 seasons are possible in just one day :D.

[@1ACorner]

new shop looks epic!

[@Mcweeny69]

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and watch all your vids, nice to hear you enjoyed Montreal

[@PLUMMAxX]

Canadians are hands down some of the friendliest people in the world. Not like here in the US.

[@NP-co7kj]

I live in Alberta Canada (past 45 years) and people here are not very friendly. In stark contrast, after visiting Nova Scotia, I was shocked how happy and friendly people are there.

[@wendellporter4875]

yea most people here in nova scotia are friendly atleast in oxford anyways

[@darinsteele7091]

yeah im from PEI so basically accross the bridge, we're even nicer here (i think)

[@nexxusty]

Bullshit. I literally just moved to Alberta from Ontario and people are much nicer here.

[@motherjoon]

Sadly, the Stereotypical nice Canadians are all east coasters.

[@TerryLawrence001]

Vancouver is the best for Canadian weather but as a result we have a lot of people moving here so it is expensive. I visit California (LA) a lot and find the people are similar and mostly kind folks. Maybe my Canadian accent mellows them down.

[@KAL-589]

Welcome back handsome. Looking forward to some more melted connector videos 😂😅

[@no1be4me2]

Big hello from Ottawa Ontario Canada home is where you hang your hat up... 😎

[@OnStageLighting]

Pros for Canada: Nice scenery, friendly people... Amtech flux, grinding pen, hot air stations, soldering stations, anti-bear light... oh wait...

[@jeremiefaucher-goulet3365]

Wow, i had no idea you were in my neck of the woods. Glad you had a great time here :)

[@robinsattahip2376]

Welcome back.

[@GregM]

Down east the humdity is always high. Out west the humidity is a bit less with Vancouver and lower BC having the best weather during winter months but the cost of living is a lot higher there.

[@ttm9379]

Littery have a cabin rented on a lake in montreal in September. Got alot of family there . From ontario

[@barbe00brune]

yeah in quebec we do have both extremes, weather wise. It can go as high as 40C during the summer and -40C during the winter. Weather do tend to get more and more humid during the summer these past years. Its been worst lately which was probably during your trip. Glad you liked it though

[@shafiahmad6795]

welcome back sir

[@zerocks88]

welcome back!

[@kkrott87]

Try to come to Victoria, BC when you get a chance. This place here is little piece of heaven. That's an opinion from someone whose came from Brazil

[@zachariepayant3864]

U welcome back big brother

[@bradleyxdebruin]

Here from Canada 👋

[@randallsmith4685]

I lived in California and would never go back. In Tennessee now. You should visit.

[@24kmetal99]

You can actually walk on the street in downtown Montreal at night, not in DTLA.

[@uniqueangel]

Hello from Province of Québec ^_^ , this year it's so hard to go fishing.. weather is not so stable :S , I live like 2 hours from Montréal, I love to watching and learning tips and tricks from your videos thanx alot :D

[@DrBloodawn]

About the weather, it is exactly the same in Belgium 😂😂😂

[@MasterJediSean]

Hi Alex, It's great to hear what you had to say about Canada. Myself being from Surrey, BC is also a great place to live or visit. s living here as I have always had pleasant conversations with the people and even the RCMP are very nice. I have always thought that you get what you give, that applies in all aspects of relationships. Cheers! PS I should add that Canada in my opinion is somewhat safer as there are far less guns, I have never even seen a pistol other than the police. You can own rifles but you must have a FAC license and you can't just take them out with you or keep them in your truck, unless your in the mountains hunting and once again you need a license. Gang activity is limited and is in Vancouver. But yes our weather is unpredictable.

[@LigerSupremacy]

You need a PAL for a firearm in Canada (the FAC is obsolete). You can keep firearms in your vehicle, but they must be unloaded and locked.

[@MrTJP777]

It's nice to see what the meter says when you measure

[@JeSuisUnePatate]

I live in Quebec city ...and I have to admit that I hate Montreal... I couldn't live there. It's always too hot on summer, and trying to travel there in a car is a nightmare. I'm happy that you had a great time and went out of Montreal also ! I doubt that it was the Lac Supérieur: That's in Ontario. :)

[@InterruptedByFireW]

The % isn't the probability of it raining, but the coverage for the area :)

[@NorthridgeFix]

The weather forecast would show rain throughout the day, but it was never the case so I stopped basing my trips on the forecast.

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

@@NorthridgeFixWeather Forecasts are a joke. Best to ignore them. They are a guideline only.

[@Live1509]

I think you should charge a few more $ and replace the thermal paste when riassembling.

[@thelittlechannelofcalm]

You should come to Bosnia. For 1M USD, you can buy half of the state. And live for the next 300 years without the need to work and earn money.

[@yazidbecdaigle4709]

Easy California is better for life if you have your own good business Canada for those who like calm nature , work is difficult because of the weather Personally, I choose Canada Good people, there is no crime and theft. Fresh air, better health

[@laurentallenguerard]

It's important to note we nationalized electricity in Québec and it's why we pay 0.06$ CAD / kWh along with the luck of having so much water. It cost about 3.5$ to recharge my electric car for around 300 to 400 km depending on the conditions (highway vs city vs offroad). More or less 17 times less costly than gas if we ignore the cost of the battery.

[@bligh1156]

Do you have much experience with EVs, is it true you need new tires every 2 years or so?

[@laurentallenguerard]

@@bligh1156 I don't have much experience but I have broken 2 tires at 6000 km on the KIa Niro EV 2023 which is not well suited for offroad. I bought some XL tires with the hope of keeping them more than 2 years! The regeneration modes, controls and acceleration are quite cool though. Very fun to drive.

[@bligh1156]

You mean offroading I assume, yeah that can happen. I meant I'm told they wear out much more quickly due to vehicle weight and I've given up trusting most people so I figured a random person on the internet would probably have a better opinion.

[@bill_r]

Good to hear nice thoughts, so much talk is mean or put downs.

[@heeha10]

Canada has ten provinces and three territories. Each of them has different electricity and water rate.

[@killerrf]

Trudeau and commie govt trying to make it expensive as possible artifically

[@ericbergeron7658]

...and they're all cheaper than Cali 😉

[@cameronheinricks8571]

You need to come to Alberta, dry like CA, but not nearly as hot, and honestly much more friendly then Montreal, the Rockies would blow you and your family away with the beauty.

[@shamsalfaisal]

Came in for repair.

[@dracolnyte]

same thing about the top cities in Canada (Toronto, Vancouver, etc) 1.5M for an old shack.

Awesome work Alex, Big Boss… better than factory is matter of fact right there.. I wish I work with you guys or someone who need my help fixing repair someday, that’s my motivation dream sigh damn deaf lol

Don't bother trying to guess Michigan weather, you'll get all four seasons in an afternoon 🤣

I'm from the east coast in Nova Scotia Canada. Yeah, this year has been really unusual with the humidity. I'm a 53 yr old bricklayer and I can't remember it being this thick out. 1.5 million here get you about 100 acres of land and a 3500 sq. ft. 3 storey home. Just sayin 🙂

I have heard ppl and business were struggling in California. They moved to Texas and are doing great and saving a ton a year. Sadly California is going to get worse.

[@radman999]

Canada is a massive country bud. You can't really make a judgement based on one tiny area you visited. It would be like me visiting Louisiana and claiming all of the USA is a swamp.

[@DJaquithFL]

I life South of Tampa, Florida and our prices aren't much different. A $1,000,000 house is an average 2,600 to 3,000 SqFt backing to a small pond. The same house backing to the Gulf of Mexico $3,000,000+.

Ontario is almost like California in Canada, Toronto is brutally expensive and any other towns near by toronto is expensive.

[@Marijan1987]

I Croatia for 1 gallon we pay 6,8 euro,that is 7,49 dollars... Electricity per mounth is about 150 dollars........Damn!!!!!

[@gordthor5351]

If the skies are clear the temperature drops substantially at night in most places in Canada. Due to climate change the last 7-8 years have been quite smoky in the hot summer months and even a light haze will trap the heat in at night and make it feel more humid or muggy.

[@BaconbuttywithCheese]

I like the application of leaded solder prior to reflowing a component. It seems counter-intuitive instead of using solder paste, but saves a heck of a lot of mess. Great examples of straightforward repairs.

5.50 per gallon. If I do the math correctly. A gallon is 3.78 liter. 5.50 / 3.78 = 1.45 dollar per liter 1.45 dolar is 1.30 euro We paid 2.20 euro per liter / 2.45 dollar per liter 9.26 dollar a gallon.😵‍💫

As someone living in that province, Montreal is terrible. That city is becoming San Francisco (criminality, hobos, drugs, trash everywhere, etc.), minus the good weather, the wealth and the beauty. Even people living in that province avoid Montreal these days, unfortunately. Montreal used to be a beautiful and incredibly fun and alive city back in the 70-80-90s, but it's now a shell of its former self unfortunately.
