This parody tries to use humor to deal with a REAL problem in Alberta, and Calgary. Since the oil crash and following anti oil movements the job situation in Alberta is terrible. Though If id do something like that I would take my RV trailer with me and live in that while there. Great thing about Vancouver is you will never see it get even close to cold enough to render Propane useless. Alberta gets the to boiling point(of propane) of -40C quite easily, when that happens it is basically useless and you freeze to death in your RV

[@Choleer]

This is actually a true story. I know Ted. Good thing is he now has a job in Edmonton so he only drives 6 hours a day. He is much happier now.

[@mutechpak5089]

True Story: I met a man who commute on foot from Sharjah to Ummul Quwain. This place is near to Dubai. He wokes up around 2AM and he walks all night and around 9AM he reaches his driving school, where he was becoming a truck driver. He was from India and a Sikh who wanted to have heavy vehicle license. I gave him a lift anonymously because I found him very early morning in a remote place like there was nothing nearby and a person shouldn't be there in desert site and nobody was there many miles long and later me and my wife interviewed him in car as we dropped him at his driving school, then after few days we went to his school and we complained his teacher that he walks all night long to reach here, then his teacher arranged some location nearby place. He was too shy and didn't said to his teacher and a thin guy and was basically a labour. His name was Dilbar Singh. There is no public transportation in Ummul Quwain. It happened somewhere in the month of July 18.

Nice satire, and it does hit hard for Calgarians out of work due to the Oil Sands downturn. If this were real, he and his employer would be in violation of BC labour law as you must account for travel time that is outside the municipality as part of the maximum hours of work permitted, which in BC is something like 12hrs per day, although it is a complicated rule. But the fatigue a worker would experience driving 1900km round trip and then working a full shift is excessive. "Despite any provision of this Part, an employer must not require or directly or indirectly allow an employee to work excessive hours or hours detrimental to the employee's health or safety." The employer would be responsible for employing someone living and commuting from Calgary to BC.

The law states that "an employer must not require or DIRECTLY ALLOW AN EMPLOYEE TO WORK EXCESSIVE HOURS OR HOURS DETRIMENTAL TO THE EMPLOYEE'S HEALTH OR SAFETY." It's pretty clear that the employee IS in fact in violation of the law, by allowing him to work full shifts if travel time is accounted for.

Nice satire. Commuting is a big problem. So much waste of people's time and potential. Someone who commutes 4 hours for a 8 hour work day, essentially has a 60 hour work week, with 20 unpaid hours. For every hour of work, you wasted 30 minutes of your life commuting. Imagine if those people could spend those 20 hours doing something meaningful instead. Heck, I would even think the government should get involved to try to see if they can help people get local jobs. Lots of people would probably be prepared to work 10 hours extra, if that meant they didn't have to spend 20 hours on commuting. That would benefit society.

No breaks apart from fuel and toilet sometimes. I used to drink water a lot. And ate a sandwich for lunch. Sometimes I used to sleep late because of having fun with friends. But three hours was enough for me. It's absolutely possible for the ones who love doing it. What made me do this was just the fun. It made me happy. I was happy to ride.

[@euphonikprince8801]

This is the kind of person that deserves much of our respect. ...Thumbs up for him💪💪💪💪👊👊✊✊✊✊✊✊

[@Neverforgethaiti]

This is NOT REAL. It is a COMEDY VIDEO !!!!! The KZbin channel that this video is on is called CBC COMEDY !!!!!

[@gadblatz4841]

Ok so, no joke, not kidding. My dad, for a short time, commuted to a city 111km away, about 69 miles, on his bicycle. I don't remember if it was every day, but it was definitely several times a week. 138 mile round trip... man's a fucking maniac.

[@roelreambo3851]

its funny how people comment about the gas he spent, you heard the guy said, he doesnt want to leave the hometown he loved.

[@samrobertson7927]

Guys...it’s a sketch lol

[@Bucasta]

A little exaggerated but not that for from the truth..

[@TheAcenightcreeper]

I dont what it was but when he said ohh gee i havent thought about it, about $500 a week on gas...i just died laughing

[@brianbullard8291]

Well that is good to 👂. The peeing in the jug bit really got me. 😂

[@Roddy556]

It's a Trailer Park Boys reference too if you've seen it

[@rebeck6651]

Just sleep in ur car on weekdays and go back home on weekends

[@Mavidyatunes]

The people in the comments section questioning whether or not this is real or just satire on the current job market in Canada are the same kind of people who couldnt even get hired to work that Barista job.

[@thelionking3321]

Mavidyatunes I will tell you something, Canada need a huge work force!!! Educate yourself and you will get the job very easily.

[@titusvirilius2699]

This guy is full of shit. Get real. Barista pays 9 dollars an hour . He is making like 800 every two weeks and most of it spent on gas. How is a 9 dollar an hour job pay for a house in Calgary

[@zeeshanmuhammed8883]

Lol been in Canada for about 4 years now and had literally managers slamming their heads for more people. I bet you’re the kind of people who would blame literally any external factors for not getting work

[@zeeshanmuhammed8883]

Mavidyatunes also this is a satire skit if you hadn’t noticed probably made to lure lazyasses to the comment section

[@vanham5397]

Titus Virilius If it's Satire

[@Rubikari]

Well, I live in a little island with ~185km of circumference, I would have to go round this whole island more than 10 times in order to get close to that, and I have never even done it once. So yeah, I would gladly live that life of his for a week and I would take it as a vacation.

[@brianbullard8291]

I watched this last night after my own evening shift.

[@kajcsapapa]

[@rohoeszn]

Another day another dollar

[@merchant099]

Another day another nickle

[@bibivalieva8277]

CAD of course

[@2rooms19]

When I first saw this skit a few years ago (I was younger and I am a non-native speaker), I thought this was real and made me really anxious about my future.

[@ÆCME]

me too... then I went dipping in the comments and the mathematical miles & times don't add up .... but I was thinking....man 🙄🙄

[@kamranbashir4842]

Man ! I felt so relieved after watching the channel name and realising it was a comedy

[@superbjai76]

too funny, but I had a few co-workers driving 4 hours roundtrip per day in SF Bayarea. The housing can be more than 50% less......will you do it?

[@amit4Bihar]

superbjai76 its too common in mumbai

[@meijerrc]

What we do for money yah

[@henryhenry903]

superbjai76 I have drove 7 hours one way for a job but i was on the clock the whole time making killer OT did a hours work and drive back every day

[@asiantrollingmontages2893]

He probably waste more money on gas to get there, then getting paid😂

[@SPM_SS]

Asian Trolling Montages Dumbasses like you not realising this is just satire 😂

[@joeypalmiero7576]

Whatever I drive from Aberdeen to Dover every morning and evening, takes me 6 minutes

[@kakbro2730]

[@roccop3760]

KAK BRO being an actor isn’t all that difficult

[@codycasserly8304]

[@DAVE43072]

“Our hearts in Calgary...”lol

[@juicedk00laid44]

[@BrownBoyCanadian]

[@charmander777]

IT'S FAKE

[@masterchief1992HHQ]

[@zzz7zzz9]

[@sippe3985]

[@JJ-ju6ky]

Syed Ghazi Wow....you think this is real? How much do you think he makes as a barista? If he pays $500 a week for gas...... nevermind, I cannot believe you need this explained to you.

[@wakawaata6086]

What a hero to your wife and family good on ya dad.

[@jayjohn9680]

Well I got a job on mars...

[@manni7317]

I also drive 100kms everyday for my job and everybody acted as if i was the dumbest person out there, you gatta do what you gatta do to keep the money flowing, it's not like better jobs are waiting around to be chosen by me...I liked the opportunity and i jumped at it, doesn't matter the commute, what matters is how much you are learning and enjoying working.

[@YouElm]

It's 'sketch' not 'skit'. People pay attention: the title says "(Comedy/Satire [Sketch])"

[@gabrielsatter]

YouElm Not if you don't click the arrow. It's also presented in the feed a real. Therefore clickety click bait. Gross.

[@YouElm]

Wrong! The title is literally "Canadian Man Drives 1,944 km Every Day to Work as Barista | CBC Radio (Comedy/Satire Skit)" right underneath the video.

[@singlehandedblade]

Why wouldn't you just move to Vancouver? Or if you own the home, rent out the house and move??? Or if you have to have a place in Calgary, rent out the house, and get a cheaper place in Calgary and a room in Vancouver, and come to Calgary on the weekend!? Commuting like this doesn't make any sense at all!

[@NikolasThai]

accelblade or just put a bed in a van and on weekends drive back home

[@TheAnantaSesa]

you people are clueless. you can't just up and move like that. he'll probably go through 8 cars before he gets the nerve to start looking for an open apt to move to. he's dead tired between shifts and driving and rest and family time. and that heartless reporter asking him about how much he spends on gas. it doesn't matter! he gets to rest on weekends!

[@kalloused]

It's called satire. This isn't real.

[@adtc]

It's a joke

[@nikkeisimmer8795]

You ever seen the house prices in Vancouver? The real estate market keeps this up, We'll be moving out of Vancouver to Calgary. Calgary will end up becoming the bedroom community for Vancouver //dripping sarcasm// Thanks to foreign investment.

[@vacciniumaugustifolium1420]

0:06-0:07 the best horror story i have seen this haloween

[@nealcarter1617]

Adding up the hours he drives is amazing (and not possible)
