Any questions that I should answer next time?

Hello brother can u tell which one is better for jobs perspective for new moving couples. St john or Fredericton

Speaking for the west side, I moved to Fundy Heights last year and I love it! My partner and I don't have a vehicle but there are busses into Uptown or other parts of the city from here. There are shopping options on foot that are convenient - groceries, hardware stores, pet supplies, etc. The neighbours are friendly and there are lots of lovely places to walk the dog.😊

[@atribecalledowens]

Rep that west side! :P

Thank you so much for this detailed, measured take of life in Saint John. As a dual US-Canadian citizen contemplating leaving the US with my family for NB, I am so glad to have come across your channel!

[@matthewjosiah]

People ask me all the time why I moved back to Canada from the Caribbean, but for the lifestyle I live, the Maritimes is the best place for it! 🙌

[@JCANPetros]

Where in the Caribbean you lived and for how long?

Great video ... I appreciate your opinion and honesty with these vids. I moved in 2020 to St. Andrews and love it here. I have not felt any racism towards me while living here and actually felt more racism in Toronto/Mississauga/Oakville then anywhere here in NB.

To comment on not going on a family doctor waiting list cause you are healthy...for now. Personally, im always on the midset that health is chaotic. You never know what will happen. Genetic and chronic Illness can hit you randomly. So i prefer a preventive approach to be safe. Anyways, good video. In personally not looking at saint john but Fredericton and Moncton to be closer to family moving there as well. Im verý exicted but nervous !

We have the same point of view on employment, if you're hard working, with integrity there's always going to be work you can find!

[@catalaojr]

love your work man!

[@nataliestafford699]

TY for being a new yet true Saint John voice. ❤❤❤

[@atribecalledowens]

Thank YOU for watching :)

[@elizabethgriffith2702]

You’ve captured the essence of Saint John very well.

[@Corncorncorncorncorncorncorn]

I'm a west-side convert :) would love to show you around sometime! It's got so much to love, especially if you love the coast.

[@Quarry_Saintwater]

I know the resume you're referencing and it was the worst resume i ever seen as well, Poor kid had two weeks scooping ice cream as experience. I think he got connected with The Bridge program through key industries which will definitely help him gain practical skills and improve his resume.

[@kelcymerzetti42]

Haha a true East Saint Johner that hates crossing the harbour bridge unless you HAVE to! 😂🙏

[@asiyatikhonova3406]

Thank you for your attitude and readiness to share it. Just a couple of practical questions, as we plan to move to SJ in August: 1. Why do you say that you would consider living in the Uptown if you were alone? Is it not good for families with children? 2. The question that worries me most - can you feel the smell from paper factory or refinery in the Uptown?

[@atribecalledowens]

1) Uptown is good for families with children but I don't think many families with children live there. There is a much different mentality towards population density out here than in major cities. That could be why. There is a couple playgrounds in the uptown area - two of the better ones I'd say. 2) You can smell something now and then for sure - not sure what it is though.

If you're struggling to get a job, make an appointment with an employment center. They'll at least get you start on what you're doing wrong.

[@thetechnosapiengeek]

Lived on all side of this city and West is best. Lots of shops and a more chill safer vibe.

[@GolfYourself]

Stay away from lower west, traffic to west side is horrible.

[@swiralgod]

The best thing about Saint John is it's white population. Diversity killed Toronto. Was a white city when my Father grew up working there. Minority white now. How is this to my benefit ?

[@atribecalledowens]

Trolly troll troll 🧌

[@swiralgod]

@@atribecalledowens How is it to my benefit ? I desire unity not dissimilarity. It's funny to me that you consider yourself a person of colour even though your hair, skin, and eyes are all coloured the same.

[@atribecalledowens]

​@@swiralgod the answer you seek resides in the question itself. If you seek only what benefits YOU - than you will never find the Unity that you supposedly desire.

[@GolfYourself]

Diversity is going to kill this city too. Way too much foreign people coming in and drowning the housing market.
