In the short time that Smith has been here, housing has gotten way more expensive, healthcare is bleeding doctors (and looking to be privatized), we're getting little support for the chaos of the wildfires, there's been repeated blackouts, and Calgary had a whole month without water. BC has it's problems but trust me, having seen cronies that never lived here before come here with actual confederate flags hanging from their garage doors like roaches should be a HUGE red flag; the people coming here are hoping to see Alberta become the new Florida. In short, don't come here.

We had only 24 hours to pack up our things and leave due to foreclosure. My dad drove us (and my cat and his parrot) in a U-Haul from Campbell River, across to Vancouver, then up to Prince George to drop off his and my brother's things. Finally, we drove all the way to Wainwright, where I moved in with a friend. He dropped off the U-haul in Vermillion and took a bus back to PG. It was a solid 20 hours of driving just to AB for him. Eight years later, I'm getting ready to move back to BC and be closer to my family again. It feels terrifying to plan a big move now but this video makes me feel like I can pull it off.

NICE!

We lack housing because Canada has been importing a million people per year while building a fraction of new homes. Its not complicated.

Great video, but puleeze lose the muzac.

Where are the farmer's marjet and their schedules to be opened? Thank you.

Excellent vid 👌

Development will destroy the very thing that makes the place special. As the poet says, wealth is nothing but absence of people.

Our premier is great .. she’s the best , ALBERTA is the best . You don’t like her .fine. Stay out

Seems that bear topic has reared up again.if there is a bear in your yard it’s there for the very simple fact that YOU have attracted it there through negligence.Food attractants and livestock.Garbage cans,manure piles,compost heaps bird feeders,bbq.Food left in cars.Grocery bags ,dog food.Bears are opportunists so don’t supply the opportunity.The ones that trash the bears and call for their death are idiots ignoramuses.Get lost😂😂😂😂

The ferry system can be solved very easily. Pony up the money to buy a private ferry service for residents.

Finally someone who actually criticizes small towns. Don’t get me wrong small towns are good for people who like community oriented but I feel that the praise for small towns are done out of hate for cities because HoMelessNess like it’s a surprise

Love the conversation going on ! 😊❤❤

Cougars like to see people hiking alone ! 😂

I think it's instructive that my ancestors moved to Nova Scotia to work tge fisheries until the fish were gone, they moved to BC until forestry fell off and now they're waking up to the fact that oil and gas arent forever. Let's see what the next thing is before jumping into a region and an industry in decline.

i stop voting liberal and conservatives i don't see any more value in those party's

They all feel more beholden to our monopolies and large corporations than to us and it's really depressing

PPC 💜

Great episode guys! I will from now on count the number of ‘squeaks’ from Paul to use as a basis for how passionate he is about something ❤

i transferred to northern ab 6 years ago. i'm not lovin' it. expensive food, back home people complained about having $120+ utility bills every 2 months from NSP, but its $130 per month provider fee and even more fees added before you even pay for your power and gas usage. i've had 4 doctors, and just lost my recent one that hasen't been here for a year yet. also living rural i can't make any friends as i didn't grow up here, and go to school with the locals so i'm an outsider. they are nice, and have small talk, but not coming to your house, or inviting you over for a game or bbq. also the crime is crazy here. people are constantly being robbed, b&e's, vehicles stolen, meth attics everywhere, prisoners just being dropped off in the middle of town, and overwhelmed police that arrest these newly released meth heads, and criminals withing the first few days of release. then they are just released again the same day, and the locals know who most of them are. when your car is stolen the police don't even go after them as they are non violent crimes, and they just say make an insurance claim. crime and the -40's are the worst things for me next to the loneliness

it sucks for sure. the people that work to keep the lights on, water flowing, internet working, put out the fires, and work in health care, and education make a good wage, but are priced out of housing, so leave residents underserved. more and more are single people now, and we are priced out if everything housing wise

You might as well be on an island. You are held hostage by the whims of the ferry schedule. You have been warned.

I’ve lived here for 24 years and lost my MD because of one doctor after another retiring from the practice 2 years ago. Quite a frightening situation to be in!

Even ambulance attendants can’t find a rental home. They’ve been known to move off coast.

B.C. Ferries has always been over staffed and under paid. Except at the top.

Negative Nancy's

These guys are against Alberta through and through!

Sorry, You get government you deserve.

Man, you shouldn’t get me started on BC ferries. Yuck. It is so so broken

I grew up on the dismal coast, your welcome to it

we moved to Alberta from BC in 1996, I couldn't wait to leave that place 9 month winter arrogant people rip you off anywhere they can that place sucks and the difference in taxes is very little, no home owner grant, utilities are very high what I remember

Don't forget the business's on the coast have a Sunshine Coast tax, aka gouging every one. Try going somewhere on the ferry in the summer without a reservation, you have to have that reservation 3 months in advance or forget it. Most people that I know that have left the coast have moved because they're sick of being held hostage by the ferries.

I bought my home in Elphinstone 1988 for $92,000.00.Now appraised at $1.2 million.I f I want to move I can’t replace it.groceries are 20 percent more than in the city.the ferries suck.the traffic sucks.the traffic enforcement sucks.The roads are inadequate.Iniust got a letter from my doctor saying I don’t have a doctor anymore.He’s moving just like I’d like to do but can’t afford to.The water crisis sucks.every year our water tax goes up and they keep rationing the water.In one case the increase was 43%.And I can’t water my vegetables in the summer.trying to grow food that I can’t afford at the stores.My family has ties to the coast from the 1920’s where they worked and built a community that used to be a nice place to live.the short term rentals have ruined our beach with smoke and fire and garbage at all hours of the day and night.Newbies come here to live because they like the milk and honey or do they think.then they find out there is no Home Depot or Walmart and whine like spoiled children.They hate the highway they want a bridge they don’t like the float planes at Sechelt it goes on and on.if you leave the city to find your utopia you’re looking in the wrong place.

I lived ib bc most of my life and moved to Alberta about 10 years ago lol did the ndp write this for you you people don't really have a clue

only rich ppl live here , and those that are not rich are slaves

by moving to b.c i might actually die on the streets like so many here, just because everything is for the rich only

100sof ppl enter the street life because of this every year, soon i will homeless because of rent, hard to work when u got no digs

This is how I see it. Our greed will destroy our security in the future. Plus we have the big one on the horizon, plus we have climate change, and the societal breakdown that will ensue. Why is it no one thinks of what’s coming. I looked into buying on the Sunshine Coast in 2016 and most of what I saw wouldn’t survive a quake of 7 .

I'm not too familiar with Danielle Smith.. could someone enlighten me why she is considered insane by some?

If you love an overpriced communist utopia live in bc .glad I got out of that lazy assed economy

B.C? No thanks.... too many rainbow people.

So glad I didn’t move to BC when the opportunity arose.

Dont, we dont want you

The sunshine coast was part of my family for many many years Dating back to 1905 when my gg grandfather first moved there. Sadly its not what it used to be.

I moved to Grande Prairie and couldn't stand it, moved back after 9 months.

Keep your furniture to a minimum... Stay single... The world is in decline... Keep it simple... We will go through a huge reset where the world will reset itself... just like last time. 1902 was the last time it appears... All Fortune 500 companies started in 1902.... We were very advanced in the past... History is deception...

Your info is way out to date , my insurance is better structured and cheaper in Alberta than in BC. Total all your insurance than compare.

First off admire anybody that contributes to social media. Most of what you covered could be anywhere in BC excepte for the ferries. I live in the Comox Valley, Gabriola before that. Watched all this happen in Nanaimo and recently Comox Valley. Cheers!

Bottom line, if you hate Alberta, just stay where you are, grow where you are and build up your paradise where you are. Meanwhile, your healthcare criticism of Alberta is very anecdotal - I live in Southern Okanagan as well as Southern Alberta, and I'd far rather have Alberta healthcare which is the best of a bad lot in Canada. I have much greater access to several medical specialists on a fairly timely basis in Alberta whereas BC is growing far worse. For those living in BC's Interior Health in areas like Cranbrook, they sometimes have to endure huge costs of transporting and multi-day hotel stays in Vancouver to get specialist care. Bottom-line, just because you hate Alberta doesn't mean everyone else will hate it as well. BC is a lovely beautiful province, but basically it is only a great place to visit, not to live - unless you are coming to BC with lots of money. PS. You hate Alberta's Premier but say Albertans would be great for pulling you out of a ditch. I dare say that Premier Smith would stop to help you, offering kindness as well. Just because you hero-worship your home province BC NDP government, doesn't merit putting down Alberta the way you have in this video. Stick to analysis of living in your own Province without mean-spirited put-owns of the politics and living environments of other Provinces.
