I'm a Canadian living in Southern California and I haven't been home since covid started. I'm MISSING my family and friends and missing Canada so much. Watching your video made me feel so many things - thank you for sharing this. It really means a lot to me.

[@brandonpeniuk]

Hey, Good video as I am a quarter of the way through. I find during the pandemic, I enjoy watching videos about traveling. It keeps me grounded.

[@amtrakharry]

That was also excellent ! Loved your walking tour in Winnipeg that was very informative ! My brother and I are doing this trip in February and are going all the way to Vancouver without getting off!!! :):):) Thank you for sharing guys!!! :):):)

I rode the Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto towards the end of 1989. In fact the train hit TO at about 5pm on Boxing Day. With my backpack, duffel bag and 2 or 3 suitcases (I don't recall which anymore) I was one overburdened and awkward heap trying to make it through the Boxing Day shopping crazed mass of protoplasm that formed a throbbing wall trying to block my way up Yonge St.. I was home but home was Hell. Still, during that train ride I had the most beautiful and relaxed Christmas of my life. A train is not only a way of transporting you from A to B, it's all about the journey and not the destination. A never to be forgotten experience. And my personal cabin was unbelievably luxurious, as were the meals (which were prepared out of fresh ingredients and not just microwaved TV dinners of the kind they feed you when you fly). It just so happened that the winter of 1989/1990 was a record breaker in terms of temperature (or lack thereof). During a brief stop in Winnipeg I went out to get a newspaper. At -40 C. or a bit less, I could certainly buy a paper but, taking into account the windchill, I'd have become a statue if I had stayed outside to read it. The windiest intersection in Canada? I'd vote for that!

Vancouver has been the superhero capital of Canada since hosting the 2010 winter Olympics by creating a lateral entry program for superheroes from all over the country Canada wide that are interested in relocating to bc and establishing Vancouver and the lower mainland as their base of operations for example Winnipeggers prefer Vancouver as their base of operation because of the warm weather in bcs lower mainland superhero and Vancouver is the first city in Canadian history to create a lateral superhero entry program and the 2010 winter Olympics and being the superhero capital of Canada will always be part of Vancouver's history

Its a great wish from me! Once in my life i will traffel with tis train. Wauw! Great video! Thank you! Greetz from Holland.

[@merc340sr]

Great Choice!...Love this train. Rode on it several times including when it was Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1970s.

[@OmegaSoypreme]

Great video! God I miss travelling. Can't wait for the world to open up again ☹

[@ivanovskilozada3282]

Awesome!!! incredible views, thanks a lots for share

Glad you guys did this before COVID-19 hit the country

[@canxplorer]

I really like to make this trip one day!

[@DanCron]

I travel by Amtrak quite frequently. Love it! Would love to experience VIA Rail someday.

[@mountainsunsets]

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Wow, very nice well, done video, keep it up.

Food looks so much more yummy than what Amtrak gives you. I'd love to take this journey one day.

[@louiselanthier5135]

I wonder why the breakfast jams were still on the table at lunch time!

I took this route in 1997. LOVED the stopover in Capriel ON (not covered here).

[@barrybeatty6139]

Not much to see in Capreol

[@kristinschwenke2497]

Greatful Video. I Wish I Could do this Trip too. Maybe sometime.

[@goingruby]

Can you put links in description for the hotels and other locations you went to?

[@RichardHartl]

I thought the dome car was only added to the train between Jasper and Vancouver

[@thisisgemma]

I’m just on the Via Rail website. There are various cabins coming up but I’m not seeing sleeper plus, but there’s an economy plus. Is that the same as yours? 😊

[@gregjr812]

Poor guy who tripped at the end of the car at 3:34

[@MatchaAdventure]

Haha thanks for pointing it out 😂

[@ericbedenbaugh7085]

EXCELLENT!!!

I wish you had made the menus easier to read. I am considering the trip but not until I can see food choices.

What about sound of train

I like your videos Your r so cute and beautiful and your videos are great Plzz upload new video I m waiting

[@joycehewitt3633]

Never go in the winter

[@newhumanbeing]

Why?

[@sisteranan7821]

I took this train going the other way, to plant time capsules across Canada. Somewhere around Calgary the engineers 'arrested' me for desecrating'' train property in their 'locomotive court', and sentenced me to drive the train across the prairies. It was all a joke, but I got to toot the whistle and throw candy to the kids at the landings all across three provinces. It was the best arrest ever.

[@tonylarussa4046]

I can barely hear you with all the background noise.

[@smg1aerovevo458]

Where do you shower or brush your teeth ?

[@reubencarrick4320]

Decent video, had to skip the market tour, the sound of someone dragging their feet is like nails on a chalk board to me

[@alexandrelacerda75]

Hey guys... I loved your video, but... next time no music for the background. Let’s leave the sound of traveling on a train.

[@soniadowney7427]

Agree ...music or choice does not appeal to everyone

[@OntarioTrafficMan]

I disagree. Music is absolutely appropriate for a montage of scenery. This is supposed to be an easy-watching video, not a railfan trip. The background music doesn't need to be everyone's favourite, it just needs to match the visuals.

[@travelsofmunch1476]

Actually I liked the combination of train audio with instrumental music, I thought it fitting

[@constantinkwiatkowski1940]

I always so confused, why such videos come up. Everything on those trains is plastic and old, you enjoy the panorama view for 5 mins and during the rest of the journey you think what is the stupid WiFi password. Sure, the little part before Vancouver is great and nice to watch, otherwise the landscape is quite boring. The worst thing of that journey is the food and the drinks. Everybody says it is so good but it just looks fancy. It tastes disgusting and it is not organic. Comparing to other train rides such as first class in Japan or the Orient Express, this ride is really disappointing. Never, never again. That ride was a waste of money and lifetime. Thanks

[@dogmaticagnostic7716]

How's the weather in Moscow, Putin?

[@peterhennig4678]

Why do Asians always drag their feet, bloody annoying

[@dguido11]

Good Video but here is a news flash it does not take 5 days from Toronto to Vancouver by train and you keep saying it does why would you lie to people. If you want more people to connect to your channel you got to stop lying but i guess you think it is ok to lie. You deserve all thumps down cause you cant tell the truth

[@MatchaAdventure]

If you include all the stops, it takes a minimum of 4 nights to reach Toronto. If you’re lucky, your train will be “only” 12 hours late. Being 24 hours late is not unheard of.

[@dguido11]

@@MatchaAdventure lol it takes 3 days who are you fooling i have done that trip many times before but like i said if you cant be honest in your videos then people will not sub to your channel and as far as im concerned you dont deserve the subs you have and hope no one elses subs to your channel. It does not take 5 days but i guess once your a lair you always will be

[@CounciKids]

should've mentioned the price of the ride, and any meals you got!

[@MatchaAdventure]

Meals were included in our package!
