[@missmarshmallo108]

Guess what- living in the country isn't the end of the world. Can't imagine how you'd ever survive it! Oh no you might have to make your own fun and go out and appreciate nature. If these are the worst places in Canada then God knows our country is one of the best around. Cheers from New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.

[@Armin2U]

The crime, because it's usually not that big a problem today, in fact, Alberta's police forces have become more better in stopping crime today, than it was back in 2013

[@immigroup]

Armin2U There are no cities from Alberta on this list.

[@Barnes466]

Armin2U Me too!!!!

[@Armin2U]

I know, Canada is a great and safe country to live in and visit, But this video is just trying to stereotype the crime rate, which is why I think it's offensive

[@deathpenguin005]

Multiple places in the territories are terrible as well. Kids commiting suicide rather than starving, food is extremely expensive I see documentaries where 2L of milk is $11

[@immigroup]

I think it would be quite hard to live up there. Whatever enthusiasm I had for it when I was younger is long gone.

[@Barnes466]

I take offense to your suggestion that a town in southern Newfoundland or in Ontario was a bad place to be...I would suggest that if you suggest the idea that you have absolutely no idea what it means to be a Canadian.....

Wouldn't bad weather be all of Canada during 6+ months of winter?

[@immigroup]

Most of Canada does not get 6 months of winter.

[@jellyfishattack]

Yes, we DO! Just look at a MAP!!! Even as far South as Toronto, weather is considered to be cold from November to at least April. Perhaps you just meant that the weather in Canada is usually rotten everywhere, but especially so in the places you mentioned?

[@jellyfishattack]

It is bad - and in many places, it's cold and miserable for more than 6 months.

[@adam19991]

funny how a group supposedly helping immigrants come to Canada from foreign countries can have anything bad to say about any of our cities. when the simple thing is if it is so bad here why would you bother coming stay in your wonderful country were there is no unemployment, racism, or crime. Or you can go to the U.S. way safer there.

[@unknownninja4430]

yeah actually, some parts of the u.s. are safer than some canadian cities. it doesn't matter which country your in. smaller towns will always be safe in america and canada. and larger cities will have the higher crime rates, applies both to american and canadian cities. more people =more crime. less people = less crime. when i was in vermont and new hampshire from quebec i felt more safe in those two places than i did visiting in nova scotia. hate to burst your ignorant sarcasm. so many anglo-canadians are insecure and have a huge inferiority complex.

I live in Saint John, N.B., and lemme tell you, the only real bad place to live here is the far north and south ends. Also the lower west (Those are the more poor areas). Other than that, it's a fine place to live. I was born here, so, I don't notice the smell, but it can't be that hard to get used to, right?

Nanaimo is a tough place to find a decent job. There are only two classes of people in Nanaimo: there are the well paid professionals such as lawyers, doctors, accountants, etc. and the semi-professionals like teachers, government workers, and the like; And then there are those that wait tables, serve beer, flip hamburgers, and beg.

[@Mrskateboardboy]

I am told by a volunteer than many Muslims show up at the food banks these days, which may me wonder even more why we brought them here!! Why bring them to Canada if they are unemployable?

[@stinkerbell7834]

Nanaimo? Isolated? Where on earth do you get your info from?

[@immigroup]

It's isolated compared to many cities of its size in Canada which are not on islands.

[@lukebickner6013]

unemployment rate 5.7% And this is a lot?

[@deannang455]

Winnipeg is the worst place to live in Canada. Come here and you will live in Warsaw ghetto, facing racism, discrimination, poverty, and hunger. There are no opportunities here and there is no support for seniors, families, people with disabilities and business owners. If you live here, if you have any means, get out.

[@coronayeg6570]

Honestly, It seems kind of silly to be comparing cities/towns in a place like Canada when all the top spots for the worst are are taken by small towns or cities. Pretty much every immigrant coming to the country will move to a big city anyways unless they get a job offer somewhere else.

[@CnekYT]

Off of my research, all of these lists lack a considerable amount of Western Canada. Western Canada has among some of the worst crime in the developed world, overshadowing the worst of the US by multiples; so it seems kind of bizarre how many of these lists avoid Western Canada. Here is how I would rank the worst (off of crime, poverty, pollution) 15. Sarnia, ON 14. New Glasgow, NS 13. Selkirk, MA 12. Grande Prairie, AB 11. Prince Albert, SA 10. Terrace, BC 9. Prince Rupert, BC 8. Lloydminster, AB-SA 7. Timmins, ON 6. Fort McMurray, AB 5. Quesnel, BC 4. Portage-la-Prairie, MA 3. Wetaskiwin, AB 2. North Battleford, SA 1. Thompson, MA For comparison of how bad Thompson is for crime, Thompson has a crime rate of 43k/100k~ -- in comparison to let's say Camden or Detroit which are both around 5k/100k~. Thompson is by far the worst city in the developed world for crime and it isn't even close. Mixed in with very high pollution, and a poverty rate of 38%~, and you get a VERY bad city.

[@FATTYBONGRIPS]

[@666mathew]

Nanaimo...are you kidding me? I wouldn't mind living there. I'm surprised no cities in NWT' Yukon, Nunavut, or any northern province cities were named instead.

[@Jefff72]

When you say a Canadian city has a high crime rate, how does this compare with US cities? Thunder is about 6 hours from Minneapolis-St. Paul and 3.5 from Duluth, Minnesota.

[@immigroup]

+jteeselink Off the top of my head, I have no idea. This information was relative to Canada when it was gathered, back in 2013. But I think you have to assume that a larger city, such as Minny-St. Paul will likely have a worse crime rate. (Likely, certainly not a certainty.)

[@Jefff72]

The Twin Cities are of course bigger, but are pretty good when compared to the US. Not sure when compared to Canada. Well at least Thunder Bay is no Detroit. I imagine it being a nice place to live if you like hunting & fishing.

[@immigroup]

+jteeselink It's certainly beautiful up there. That region of Ontario is, in my humble opinion, the prettiest.

[@TheSophiaQuestor]

With 11 homicides in 2014 - a number Thunder Bay Police Service Chief J.P. Levesque calls “pretty incredible” - the city not only topped the country in murders but also ranked the highest for violent crimes.

I'll suggest to you that West Isles Parish (Deer Island) in New Brunswick has you beat. Probably very very close though - I would give Deer Island the nod because our ferry runs every half hour most of the day and is free - vehicles and people. And 90% of the people wave. And if there is any doubt so far - my 20 acres with about 500 of ocean front including a beach, cost me $50,000! We do get a bit of winter but this is Canada and Christmas without snow to me is unthinkable. Both great places and certainly better than downtown Saint John, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, ....

[@coronayeg6570]

+Mark Awad There are very few neighbourhoods in Canada that are bad and St. John is not really one of them. It's a small city (even by Canadian standards) so obviously there isn't much to do there, unemployment is pretty high it rains/snows a lot and it's quite isolated from the rest of Canada but being a small place, the rent is way lower.

For a time Saskatoon was only second to Calgary as far as jobs and economic growth. With the bottom of the energy industry falling out, it has slowed down there considerably just like Calgary. I don't know how much better mining and agriculture is doing. The good side to Saskatoon is that the lakes are only and hour and a half drive from there with only half the tourists that one would find in say Banff or Jasper.

I was surprised that Corner Brook didn't make the list in 2014 as the Western Newfoundland City has endured nearly 1/2 century of population decline, low access to high quality jobs outside government or Corner Brook Pulp and Paper, poor business climate, high unemployment rate, lack of support for non Corner Brooker owned businesses from locals, low access to affordable housing, and high costs of getting an apartment relative to income. Now that Corner Brook is under a leadership of a progressive Mayor like Jim Parsons, things are looking better for the Western Newfoundland City.

[@liquididentity101]

For the record, no one in Thunder Bay calls Lake Superior gitchee goomie. You pulled that straight from a Gordon Lightfoot song and thought it was relevant. Also, Thunder Bay has a very diverse multicultural population and are generally very accepting. If you encounter racism in Thunder Bay it is typically against native aboriginal peoples or lately people of middle-eastern origin. If you are not of these two ethnic groups, you'll likely fit in just fine. The isolation is a big hurdle though and while Thunder Bay is large enough to provide almost any need or desire, after some years you may find yourself feeling stuck.

[@samthompson3704]

If anything New Glasgow is cheaper to live in than NYC the average house price is around $120 000 hardly anywhere else in the world can say that.

Went to the University of Waterloo, mainly in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I also know a gentleman who has lived there off and on since the early 1970s, and he has shared some of his experiences with me. By and large, my impression of Kitchener-Waterloo has been fairly good, although it does have its sketchy parts, mainly due to the decline of its former industries. Plus it has Oktoberfest every year! I don't think it deserves to be on this list at all.

[@BrendanRiley]

Well actually New Glasgow has a very well endowed hospital so it isn't quite as bad as depicted in the video. The video even spells out how there has been a long term decline in unemployment. The criticism about climate is fairly bogus too since almost all of Canada is cold and somewhat rainy in the spring & fall.

[@elenavanbc]

I'm a Canadian naturalized citizen, originally from South America. I find this video quite offensive, obviously done by another immigrant trying to "help" other prospective immigrants. Immigrants come in multiple varieties, ethnicities, personalities, and... souls. This is really unfair to the whole of Canada which I'm truly grateful I've been able to live here and learn from the people who really cared for the country and its people. I hate people who come just for their interest and don't give a hoot about the general Canadian population, don't care about the country which allowed them to stay. Please go somewhere else if you don't care.

Immigroup Inc does this individual from Bay Roberts actually consider themselves Canadian? In my experience Newfoundlanders consider themselves Newfoundlanders first and foremost. Many have a middle child mentality when it comes to their place in Canada, claiming that no one cares about Newfoundland and all the federal money goes to Ontario. This list feels like someone who is making judgements based on places they can't even imagine because they have never left the Rock. No, a trip to Florida, New York City, Toronto, or an All Inclusive Resort don't count. Going to the tourist area is not the same as actually seeing the world.

[@Quickpatch12]

Nanimo isolated? It is close to Cambell River. I have been there a couple times, and it is a good place. plus it is on Vancouver Island, a beautiful place.

[@immigroup]

Campbell River has a population of 35,000. which is much smaller than Nanaimo. It's isolated compared to other cities of its size. It's 90 minutes from Victoria and a ferry ride from Vancouver. There aren't too many cities of its size in Canada which are a long (and expensive) ferry ride from the nearest large urban area.

When is a person in a wheelchair I do find that we do have to make a few adjustments for accessibility especially when it comes to medical services. I have a hard time getting into my family doctors office, and the Aberdeen walk in clinic is tight on space when it comes to small wheelchairs and we could have some more wheelchair parking spaces throughout the town. But otherwise it’s a nice town, did all of my years of grade school here and all of my school bus drivers are nice, also The bus garage for the county was really good when it came to transportation issues with wheelchair buses. They always had a back up plan, there’s only a couple times we had issues but otherwise they were good.

The source uses a scale where $100 is purchasing power in NYC, anything below that is cheaper than NYC and anything higher is more than NYC, relative to that place. At the time we wrote the article the video was based on, the cost of living in New Glasgow was worse than NYC due to the very reduced purchasing power of the New Glasgow dollar, not because anything in New Glasgow was more expensive than anything in NYC. (Please note: the source is crowd-sourced, so the data may not be the most reliable.)

I live in Thunder Bay it has cold weather but when you live in Canada you get use to it the summers are very nice and the people are nice the schools are also very good to and if they come from Iraq,America,China and India the people are not racist only some old people because they think it's okay to do that also there's lots of nationality like Scottish,polish, and a ton more we do have a lot of Finnish people but that's how it is also the camps in Thunder Bay I would say the best camp is northern lights resort or northern lights lake the camps outside of city limits its. 2 hour drive but it's worth it it's better then going to the koa also there's a mother camp when your coming to northern lights resort it's called red pine outfitters the guy that owns it is very nice and is very friendly also the guy at northern lights lake is nice to and friendly both of them are funny but I'm just trying to say Thunder Bay isn't bad and and I'm not trying to be mean but I'm 11 and I think Thunder Bay the best town it's actually very big

[@JB-sz4wy]

Actually those arn't that bad. Some place in Northern Saskatchewan could be much worse

Only good for visiting not living ... bad weather , low employement , shortest summers .

[@isabellao7284]

please can someone tell me about Nova Scotia? I am seeking admission in a uni there .Dalhousie University to be precise

[@immigroup]

+Isabella Okoro Halifax is a great place. The Maritimes are generally cheaper than most of Canada too.

[@coronayeg6570]

+Immigroup Inc The Maritimes in general also have higher unemployment. A lot of people move to Alberta once they're old enough to get a job. As for living conditions, idk since I've never been there.

[@journeyer13]

+Immigroup Inc Not necessarily.

[@immigroup]

+journeyer13 I did say "generally." I'm sure there are places (such as Labrador) that are significantly more expensive than the rest of the Canada. But, if you take land prices for example, much of the Maritimes, if not all of it, is far more affordable than, say, southern Ontario, or the Lower Mainland in BC.

[@stevenmitchell5319]

I do not like your opinions of these places.

[@tigerkitti]

I live in Sarnia. The pollution rates have gone way down since the year she mentioned. It is a pretty city with many beautiful parks, beaches and waterways. The downtown area is not dead, and there have been new things opening, as well as some plans in the works for something big at the downtown mall. I moved here in 2011 and I like it. I can find lots to do here. Oh and my dad was from Nova Scotia. It is amazing down home! Anyone who can't handle it not being a city, or having to actually work on things...yeah stay out. People down home are not wussies that need to be catered to. lol

[@MrTheGuitarNerd]

Naturally, small towns in remote areas or on south shores are the worst of the worst. -Well yeah, I mean obvi........wait, what? What does creepy propaganda/AI voice lady have against remote places and shorelines?

I'm from Nova Scotia and I have no idea what you're talking about

The best place to live in Canada is Victoria. Or anywhere on southern Vancouver Island. Mild weather, hardly ever snows, and if it does, it only lasts a day (or less). It does rain a lot☔, but it's always green. 😊🌳🌲🌄

[@jonjenkins3868]

worst place must be edmonton

I've lived in KW most of my life... It doesn't surprise me that we're on that list. It's just sad the way people are treated here...

HAHA. Stopped watching when you named my city. One of THE BEST places I've ever lived. Don't exactly trust the list after that.

I'm surprised that Saskatchewan didn't make the list.. it's kinda bad here.??

[@onemansstand6413]

I think it's hilarious to title a video WORST PLACES TO MOVE IN CANADA and capture a town in about three sentences, both briefly, and shallowly, with no real reason or substance at all. I also think its hysterical that you would parallel the towns unemployment rate (Bay Roberts, Newfoundland) with all the jobs around as if to say "get off your ass you lazy Newfoundlanders, there's tons of jobs!" This is what gives some sociological studies the stereotype of being both shallow, unsubstantial, and misleading with statistics as the only source of premise for the argument (because we all know that statistics paint a very broad picture and can be interpreted in every which way). PS, fix your sound balancing, its way off.

[@immigroup]

+OneMansStand 64 Thanks for the feedback.A couple things: this is just a youtube video, it is not a sociological study, nor does it intend to be. And you may (or may not) appreciate that author of the article that this is based on is actually from Bay Roberts, so I don't think this is a case of people beating up on Newfoundlanders.

[@onemansstand6413]

Thanks for your reply! 1. I didn't say it needed to be a sociological study, however I do express the uselessness of such a video. 2. It portrays his character badly if the person who wrote this not only did no research before tarnishing a towns reputation but also bashed his own town. You may think this isn't a bashing per say, but to say why you should absolutely not live somewhere most would consider is a "negative" comment.

[@onemansstand6413]

You can make a video and claim it has no need for validity all you want, but the viewers also get to say how useless, incorrect, and harmful such videos are

[@immigroup]

+OneMansStand 64 Fair enough

[@journeyer13]

+OneMansStand 64 And, that may be one of the reasons the tarsands is populated with Newfies.

[@shhamil7984]

what does "drunk Monkey" a description of Newfoundland and calling it an apostrophe? what does that mean please. I found the video informative and very hillarious.

[@immigroup]

+stephnie hamilton Here is the actual text:"Long known as the unglamourous milltown cousin to its apostrophic neighbour to the east, St. John’s, Saint John is a dirty, stinky pulp and paper port on the Bay of Fundy.""This wouldn’t seem so peculiar if Bay Roberts wasn’t just an hour’s drive from money-drunk St. John’s and other rapidly expanding bedroom communities like Conception Bay South."

[@shhamil7984]

+Immigroup Inc Ok money-drunk! lol does that mean St. John's is loaded with money that it doesn't know what to do with? and I still need to clarify why you refer to St. John's as apostrophic? could it be you are saying unforgettable, small what? Please clarify.

[@immigroup]

+stephnie hamilton Well, when it was written (a while ago now), there was a bit of an oil boom in Newfoundland. As to aspotrophic - he was trying to make a joke about the difference between Saint John and St. John's. It's a little high-brow, I know.

[@shhamil7984]

Thx for clarifying lol

Why is Vancouver not #1 on this list?

[@TurteltaubTheDove]

Lol “cost of living in New Glasgow is high”

[@omargill2422]

Hows the job situation and house rents in Helifex?

[@immigroup]

+Omar Reynolds Rent is lower in Halifax than most other major cities in Canada. Don't know about jobs.

[@magicalsimmy]

Depends on the industry. Anything in the service or tourism industry does well, as does IT. Rents are low compared to expensive cities like Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary. If you work in health care, you can work anywhere in Canada. Halifax is a gorgeous city with a vibrant culture, history and night life. The winters suck horribly, but the summer and autumn are lovely (spring is rainy). Diverse food scene too. Halifax has a thriving Lebanese, Greek, French and Scottish community. If you like smaller cities and don't mind slushy, wet, snowy winters, Halifax is awesome. If you like Halifax's size but can't tolerate the weather, Victoria, British Columbia is the good weather equivalent of Halifax. Quebec can be a nightmare for English speakers and visible minorities and they have strict French language laws that border on oppressive. Alberta is usually good for jobs, but winters can be harsh and in southern Alberta it's a horrible place for artists, free-thinkers, non-Christians and anyone who likes beautiful architecture and cultural events that doesn't involve rodeos. My top picks would be Vancouver, Victoria, Halifax, Kingston, St. John's, Saskatoon or Ottawa if you're looking for cities with beauty, art, food and culture. I used to travel for a living and got to experience many Canadian cities firsthand. I have also heard that Yellowknife and Whitehorse are great communities, but you have to really like winter and they have a high cost of living.

[@immigroup]

+Skeptical Simmy Thanks for that. Very helpful.

[@MrMaenambeach]

This woman is full of shit. She mentions "(Sarnia's) view of, and proximity to, American heavy industry," while the industry she refers to is all on the Canadian side of the border. It's all petrochemical related, "Chemical Valley". But yes, Sarnia has its share of pollution problems, mostly air related, and if the wind is right, it all goes to Michigan. I'd take everything she says with a large grain of salt.

[@karanolan]

MrMaenambeach I feel like she thinks Sarnia and Windsor are the same place.

[@kelgs13]

The beautiful woods of N Onatario or the lovely coast of Newfoundland would be the obvious worst? I would love to live in those areas.

[@immigroup]

If this was strictly by scenery, the communities on this list would all be in southern Ontario or the Prairies probably.

[@CM13051]

This list should have Toronto.

[@jellyfishattack]

Toronto should have been the #1 Worst Place to Live in Canada.

[@xmozzazx]

Naturally the tiny towns in Northern Ontario are the worst? Unbelievable.

This list was appalling.

[@phonearena07]

I might be attending University in Kitchener or Waterloo this winter after watching this I am a little worried I am an Indian fellow Canadians can you plz tell me about the life conditions there all answers appreciated thanks alot

[@immigroup]

The information on hate crimes is a little out of date, also Waterloo is a pretty geographically large area (1,368.94 square km) and it's possible that the hatecrime stats that elevated KW to the top back in 2011 were concentrated (I don't know that for a fact, though). The other thing to think about is that Waterloo U in particular and Wilfred Laurier have had international students for a very long time. The former has been well regarded in some fields for quite a long time and I believe has had large numbers of international students for decades. It's likely that the areas around these schools are generally freer of this kind of problem. But you should check the student forums (or facebook groups) to find out if it's still a problem.

[@strawberrolyy]

At least it's better than USA crime rate 😑

If you move to a big city yes. If you move to a small town it's often worse

I lived in one of those small N W Ontario towns for 3 decades for the opportunity. I needed some sort of worthwhile qualification to get out and live in a decent place. So the first ten years had purpose but the second twenty years was a total waste of my life. I highly regret that. Now I live in Southern Ontario a place where I wasn't born but this area and affordable Southern BC are easily the best parts of Canada and I've been most places. N W Ontario really fits the expression " A nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there".

[@cool4jon]

Immigroup Inc The top 3 cities with the highest violent crime rate in Canada are Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, and Regina.

[@immigroup]

@@cool4jon It entirely depends where you draw the population cut-off. In our video, when were talking about big cities, they made it. But in 2017 the Top 3 were Thompson, North Battleford and Prince Albert, all of which are way smaller than two of those cities and considerably smaller than Thunder Bay. Regina was 17th, Thunder Bay 22nd, and Winnipeg 8th: www.macleans.ca/canadas-most-dangerous-places/
