MONTREAL vs VANCOUVER - Which City Is Better?

[@Sprouht]

Montreal or Vancouver? Which city is better?! Thanks for watching 🤙🏻📹 it's a mindset.

[@SuperDouche19]

Tough to say... Born in Montreal but fell in love with Vancouver... they should make a baby.

[@Sprouht]

@@SuperDouche19 Took the words right out of my mouth!

[@Sprouht]

@@BarrettRodriguez It's pretty much recommended to speak French, although you don't NEED it. And housing costs are pretty different - Van is way more $$$

[@dineshk9669]

Montreal ❤️

[@tendernugget2301]

Been to both, Montreal hands down

[@annesmith5192]

My husband and I went to Montreal in 2012. Our friends and colleagues said that we would not like Montreal. Back then it had a reputation of being unfriendly to tourists. We heard so many people say that no one would be helpful to us and that no one would speak English, even if they were bilingual. However, we found the opposite to be true. People were very helpful. Everyone spoke English. And those that did not speak English well, give it their best. We had a wonderful time. And the food was amazing. We went to Paris in 2017. Paris deserves it's lousy reputation.

[@jeanbolduc5818]

Montreal is the capital culture of Canada, UNESCO design and creativity . People are nicer than Toronto and west coast includin Alberta. Montreal city is built for human( walk, bike , transportataion best subway ( fast, clean and modern _) English Canada is always bashing on Quebec by jealousy... we have the best quality of life, food, culture, architecture and very open minded. We are a free world society in all languages . i am a french speaking and when a have a group of people if one person sleaks only in english , we all speak english . Historically, english canadian think they are superior to the french speaking and impose their language .

[@annesmith5192]

@@jeanbolduc5818 The reason that English speaking Canadians bash on Quebec is because they've never been there. Before we left for Montreal, everyone told us we would hate it. They said that everyone would be rude to us and no one would speak English, even though they could. They were wrong on all counts. However I have not had your experience with English speaking Canadians, either. I'm from B.C. and I've also been to Alberta and Saskatchewan. I've found people in all these provinces to be nice.

[@jeanbolduc5818]

I agree with you ... there are good, well educated people across Canada ... unfortunately some media ( newspaper , social media etc) are not helping anyone to be one nation and respectful. merci for taking time to write your experience ... We all need people like you in Canada and in Quebec

[@gaira86]

hands down vancouver, mountains, lakes, beaches, weather, ppl who say that vancouver is not fun, well its kinda true but cities evolve we can build more bars and museums but you cannot build a mountain or nice weather and beaches

[@Sprouht]

That would be the dream!

[@neofils]

Not so true,we do not build , building ,history or culture as we did before. Vancouver is a nice city , but without it's location , it is just a generic North American city with the same culture, language , architecture , food . Founded too late to be able to it's own indentity . Everything seem to be recently imported and not digest to make a unique indentity

[@hannahkatagi5564]

Personnellement, j'aime les deux villes. Ce que j'aime de Montréal c'est le mélange entre ambiance européenne et nord-américaine. Je sais que c'est un peu cliché ce que je viens d'écrire! Merci pour la vidéo! 🙂

[@gypsyinsneakers]

Hard work pays off, love the video!

[@Sprouht]

Thanks Susan!

[@ilonagava4620]

Now I even more confused !What to choose aaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Both cities are amazing)))

[@painnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

Haven’t been to either city’s but will be in Vancouver soon. But based off this video, I would slightly give it to Vancouver but when it comes down to which province is better, bc forsure

[@Sprouht]

Cool!

[@abeekuworldchanger380]

Go explore both for yourself. People's interpretations are nice and decent grounding, but it's when you actually visit a city that you'll know. Been to both. Both had pros and cons. Vancouver I feel is more laidback and very outdoorsy. Montreal however has more culture in the city when you're walking around. One street can be Italian, another of Latin origin, African. Etc. You really notice it in Montreal compared to places like say Regina or Saskatoon. Montreal and Vancouver are great though. See what lifestyle you'd like and you can go from there

[@havy9220]

Definitely go for Vancouver, from someone who lived in montreal for 6 years, and currently in Vancouver.

[@Sprouht]

Vancouver's great!

[@jeandremarais336]

Thanx for another Awesome vid. I yust love Vancouver its so so so beautiful. The nature and all the stuff to do. It is my dream to live in Vancouver one day. Thanx again and stay safe😁👍🏻🇨🇦

[@Sprouht]

Thank you so much Jeandre!

[@stay_puft]

I feel like Montreal and Vancouver have this unspoken friendship. The people from these cities love visiting each others. Hell, one of the best restaurants in Vancouver is the St Lawrence.

[@emallace447]

I think they do. And they both know each other is better than Toronto.

[@canman5060]

Living in Montreal is less expensive compare to Vancouver.

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

Wow, tough call. Both are awesome cities and I've lived in both (including downtown and the suburbs of each). Much as I hate the short, hot humid summers and long, cold snowy winters in Montréal and prefer the mild climate and short, warm and virtually snowless winters in Vancouver, I'm kinda feeling it more for Montréal. BC seems to be getting hit hard with climate change and natural disasters, I'm experiencing much of it in the Okanagan Valley (and high cost of living). Never thought I'd say this, but I didn't appreciate how good I had it when I was in la belle province. Montréal me manque! I think one day in the near future, I may be moving back there.

[@abeekuworldchanger380]

That's right. Well forest fires every year. I remember the one year Osoyoos was burning BAD.... And Kelowna too.

[@vvings9]

You are a fortunate man. After all, it's a mindset!

[@justdesiree6377]

I have never lived in Montreal, but spent 4 days there... I live in Vancouver (Burnaby really) and although I agree... I have to say that to enjoy Vancouver, you have to be close to all of these beaches... and for that, you have to pay. 😬 I don't get out and enjoy it as much as you did in this video lol My day to day routine is not that exciting hahaha. I would love to live in Montreal though. I can't decide haha Nice video and quality content, as always!!

[@Sprouht]

Agreed! I painted a very rare perspective on both ends!

[@abeekuworldchanger380]

I'm literally torn too. I just got back from Montreal this morning and still processing the city. It's absolutely stunning. I haven't been to Ontario yet , and I know it has nice parts, but I can't see it being comparable to Montreal.

[@DeVanDeVon]

Mwen renmen Montreal. Mesi pou video

[@brandonpeniuk]

I like Vancouver even though I have been to Montreal. I am from the West coast.

[@Sprouht]

Nice!

[@abeekuworldchanger380]

So torn. One of these cities I want to move to. Lived in Edmonton all my life and desperately need a Change. Vancouver is more nature and outdoorsy. Montreal is too, but you'll experience a milder climate on the west coast. Montreal however is more affordable. I found it cheaper with things like groceries, etc compared to Vancouver. Montreal also has a lot of culture. Vancouver is diverse, but it's more so I'd say in Montreal as Montreal is Canada's second largest city. it really depends on your lifestyle or goals. But I'd take both cities over others. Been to places like Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg. Montreal and Vancouver are nice. More mountains in the west coast, more culture and ethnic diversity in the east.

[@bronsonfan7374]

Good video, i'm from Vancouver and I have lived in Montreal for 20 plus years and now back in Vancouver for the last 3 years. I ask myself often what place is better and I 100% agreed if the cities can have sex and have a kid that would be the best city but.... Since that can't be done Montreal is the better city 100%, for me it comes down that I admire art, food and joy of life more. Vancouver is known as No Fun City,, so...

[@Sprouht]

Totally! I definitely think it depends on the person, but the "joie de vivre" is much better in MTL!

[@missymason2377]

Amazing...watching from new Zealand 🇳🇿 lol

[@danger1572]

[@hollygirl5818]

Montreal is the best city!

[@TERENCECRAWL]

I keep hearing Montreal is the better city compared to Vancouver.

[@jdhjimbo]

This was a C good way to dramatize the differences between the two cities. The real shame is that they are pretty far apart - 5 hour flight, and not that cheap to jet back and forth. Thecphysical setting ofvVancouver grabs you - possibly the most beautiful city in the world. As you said, it is not a culture capital, but for the outdoor minded. As classic cities go, Montreal is light-years better, and the Abu b dance of high-rises in Vancouver is the turn off, and it is much more expensive. It is also Asian-centric, as opposed to French-centric. Montreal becomes a harder city to love year-round because of the harsh winter. From mid-May to mid-October, Montreal wins the prize, but the other 7 months, Vancouver gets the edge. Since I plan on being a dual resident, I prefer Charleston, SC for 7+ months and then a place like Montreal or upper New England for the Mother's Day to Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving. For sheer recreation, I actually like Vancouver Island/Victoria better than Vancouver, as it has more sun and less rain, but the job opportunities are in Vancouver. Like Montreal with Mt Tremblant, Whistler is about 90 minutes north of Vancouver via a spectacular Sea to Sky Highway. It is hard to choose, so you getting to experience both is great. However, just a city, Montreal is best - architecture, culture and cuisine - a much more extensive Metro (Sky Train does not really cover that much of greater Van). Butchart Gardens on the Island and QE Gardens in Van are great parks - but Butchart are not free. The ferries in Vancouver are also nice, along with the seaplanes to the Gulf Islands & Vancouver Island. A trip up the Inside Passage for whales and wildlife is a great trip, or to the San Juan Islands of Washington state. I would like to try the stand-up paddleboards on the English Bay or Burrard Inlet on the West Coast. Stanley Park is the most gorgeous city park anywhere, and so accessible to downtown. The little water taxis to Granville Island are also a feature. I just missed the lack of culture in Van, and not as many restaurants and bars with that great ambience. The salmon is unreal however, and I ate it 2-3x per week!

[@jefflack8062]

this was an amazing read thank you so much

[@jefflack8062]

i also am not a fan of the winter so would you say Vancouver overall?

[@jeanbolduc5818]

Montreal is 380 years old and english Canada has to accept we are Canadians for the past 500 years. Montreal is very green, have a central park where you can have piknicks and drink wine. Monttreal is the only city in Canada that qualify for the Copenhagen index biking ciy .We have mountains , lakes and national parks all around the 4,5 millions inhabitants of Montreaal. Montreal is the only UNESCO design and creative city of Canada. Vancouver is a rainy, asian , indian city

Are there huge differences between metro systems? From what I understand Toronto is like an underground city. True? Or just another big city ploy to suck you in? Curious. Thanks

[@volkerroeseler2765]

I wouldn't say that one city is better than the other. They are just different. But if I had to choose, I would choose Vancouver. I can't really explain why. Maybe it's because Montreal seems more European and I'm from Europe. Even though there are of course differences to Europe. But Vancouver has the bigger differences. The West Coast Style. The nature, beaches and lifestyle. Probably that's the reason. Anyway, again a great video. Keep it up! 👍

Je ne vis ni à Montréal ni à Vancouver, mais pour mon travail je vais souvent dans les 2. Je me souviens la première fois que j’ai visité Vancouver j’ai eu ces frissons devant la beauté de la ville. Et j’y ai trouvé les gens agréables. Montréal d’un autre côté me semble plus comme une belle maison mal meublée… sauf bien entendu le vieux MTL. Et les gens y sont très accueillants. Donc, vivre à Vancouver pendant le jour mais rentrer à Montréal le soir. Vivement la téléportation.

I think you can not compare a city of 400 years of history , a UNESCO Creative City of Design since 2006, open minded and a bilingual city like Montreal to a 135 yo city like Vancouver . It rains an average of 170 days per year in Vancouver... what do you do in Vancouver when it rains ?

[@denisegreene8441]

I've been to Montreal multiple times. My fathers family came to Canada from Belgium in 1645. ( yes we have all the family tree/ the records to prove it). They stayed in Trois Riviere and the Iles of Orleans until the late 1800's. My great grandfather was the first to leave Quebec and for a Frenchman he was not impressed with Quebec either. From my exposure I would have to say I would not agree with the open minded comment. It is a beautiful province in its depth of history and its architecture but most of what makes it beautiful is what the ancestors created. The Quebec of the last 100 - 150 yrs has become ignorant, racist and self absorbed. Her founders roll in their graves.

[@denisegreene8441]

Ahemmmm....thee are plenty of beaches on the east coast , specifically Nova Scotia and PEI. What makes Vancouver different than the rest of Canada is the beaches ( which are NOT naturally sandy, the sand is brought in)and the mtns so close by. In the winter is where Vanc shines as you can get world class ski hills and then go golfing or kayaking in the same day. However I will always prefer Nova Scotia as the temperature is similar to Vancouver but with more snow for precipi rather than Vancouvers rain.
