One of the things I miss from Ontario is uber.It may be happening in Saint John soon.

The province doesn't want to pay for new doctors. Eventually they will have to bring private doctors. All of Canada is heading to a private system

Thanks for the update and the beautiful views!

Thank you for your videos. I shared this video with my family (not the first time) hoping that they will see their way clear to move your way. My wife and I are retired seniors so as soon as the younger members find a way to move I will surely get in touch with you folks. I have been enjoying many of your informative videos. Thanks again.

Love your channel folks!! I drove out from BC ( 5 days there, 5 days back ) 3rd week in April to buy a home. Didn't realize how crazy the market is there!! I got lucky that someone else's financing fell thru. Only reason that I actually got a chance to view was that I drove from BC to personally view and had cash or I may have come back to BC homeless as I had already sold my home in BC. Found the perfect house with a bit of land. We take possession in July ( seems so far away, lol ). Family is so excited to get away from the craziness here in the BC lower mainland and back to a slower pace, even our small town now has traffic jams and they are building hundreds more townhouse complexes. Watched your channel a lot before deciding to make the move, great info and unbiased opinions. You guys are going to do well and all the best to you and a big thank you!!

Hi Les and Wendy long time since I commented but I have watched every new video posted since then. Very interesting video and informative. My favourite part is hearing Wendy laugh and giggled, very infectious, love it all😇

Hi Happy Couple S2!!! I'm passionated by the city since I start to search about it... I follow you and like to see many tour you make, me and my wife are Brazilian and are arriving in August to study in NBCC. The topic of medicine is totally important for us and we try to compare with Brazil everytime :$ For the moment I just research a place to rent and to stabilize until we understand everything that's is changing in our life... Happy to hear good news from you about the Beautiful Saint John every time!!! Thank you for the videos S2 we are looking forward to meet you one day :)

Hello, I am currently in Edmonton Alberta , been here 14 years , only thing I can say is it gave me 2 children ☺️, but I am taking my kids and moving to new Brunswick in July. Cannot wait. Health care is important but it has issues in every province, and I currently do not have a family doctor and haven't for a few years. See in edmonton they have medical clinics everywhere so you can go see a doc but they are not your family doctor and to get one it takes a while here too. Anyway just wanted to share. Love your videos , can't wait to be back in my home town, Westside all day everyday . If ya know ya know ☺️ Westside of Saint john that is for the people who don't

Just found your channel on Ethan's Twitter from your interview with him. Great to see another content creator from New Brunswick on this platform! Although I am from Fredericton, I do love Saint John, so I look forward to the SJ and NB talk! Subscribed! Cheers

I love our 4 lane highways with very little traffic - relaxing just watching the drive. It’s enjoyable and not stressful.

I've always used a walk in clinic. No need for family doctor :) But I hate the 8hr wait times in ER :( Property tax ok. But income tax is high..almost double as Ontario:(

Love that you are still doing these videos and correcting some erroneous info. I waited 6 years to get a NP as my DR. If you got o e in 8 months I have to believe a lot of it was due to your channel. I know people who have been waiting longer than you have been in NB. No disrespect intended just stating s fact. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the informative video guys always appreciated

Enjoyed your property tax and family doctor rant, Les! 😂

Leaving Edmonton this Sunday to finally move back home to NB, Kingston Penninsula specifically. Cannot wait until Edmonton is in our rear view mirror. I feel as though all of the people who are complaining haven't been back to NB since the 90s or have never left and do not appreciate what they have. I admit, I took the place for granted and left for a "better" life in AB....it isn't, not for my family. Now, to finish packing and start driving! Thanks for the video!!!!

Thanks for the research but no matter how you slice it people Love to complain , I guess it’s just human nature ! Yes we did have to wait for a doctor but the clinics meet our needs Until we did find a Doctor . Great video , have a great trip !

Great and informative videos... Have you ever used any of the redemption centers (i thought it was a religious retreat!)or had your vehicle washed by hand by roadside car washers?

There is a big problem here in BC where people are having issues finding a doctor. I find it amazing that there is a lack of doctors here.

Ottawa has no refineries. But the alternative to having no such industry is that you have a lot of silly servants.

I can't speak for Saint John's hospitals, but the hospital up in Moncton is beyond third world in terms of quality. Had the misfortune of taking a relative there after midnight when an injury started to act up and we sat in emergency for hours before being told to go home. It didn't seem like there were any staff present other than 1-2 nurses. A complete embarrassment and shit show. There were 6-7 other people in emerg and only one got seen before we ended up leaving. I've heard similar stories from Fredericton. The healthcare in most parts of Canada is a national disgrace.

Spin Doctor's

I remember seeing taxes on Drury Cove townhouse in 400K range had taxes over 7 grand per year which seemed very high

You passed Musquash. Yeah!!

Hello and thank you for these wonderful posts. Have you done a video on costs of owning a home in New Brunswick. Just basic like, is there a home owners grant that if you live in the home you get to claim each year? Costs of internet, home phone (I still have one for safety reasons due to the young people who live with me) heat, hydro, car insurance…just going over basics that come around yearly or monthly. Cheers

Nice i lived in Mission (travel for work) :) breath that salt water baybee

Les, it took me 2 years to get an FP..and even with that, I have to travel 30 mins to get to his office..and it costs me $30 one way taxi fare to get there. My FP tried for me to get an FP closer to me but couldn’t. Each doctor has his/her patient limit and no more. Soooo…it is tough to get an FP here. Btw…I live in Quispam and my FP’s office is in Hampton.

We have been here two years and still no family doctor. That said I had an issue and went to emergency, and the doctor there referred me to a specialist, who now is helping me going forward. I'm sure we have waited longer than usual due to the pandemic for a family doctor. As far as taxes are concerned, the only thing you have to keep in mind, is that if you pay a lot more than the current assessed property value when you buy, you will see a pretty big jump in the bill the year after you purchase. Also, if you buy a property that is a duplex and and the current owner lives elsewhere and rents it out, the taxes are higher than if the person who own it has it as a primary residence. This means that if you are going to live there, you will have to swear an affidavit with service New Brunswick stating it is a primary residence ( owner occupied). Note: the year you purchase you will pay the current tax rate, through the current tax year with the closing costs. The air in Moncton, is much nicer....lol In closing, all things considered, we love living in New Brunswick and are glad we moved here.

Hi Les, I noticed at about 17:28 that the speed limit is 110 km/hr compared to the vast majority of highways in Ontario that run at 100 km/hr except for some very recent pilot projects that have run at 110 km/hr. Are all major highways that you have traveled in NB posted at 110 km/hr?

So I've been stalking this channel for awhile without ever commenting. Just felt I would comment about the healthcare part of this video. As a life long New Brunswicker with many experiences with the NB health system over the years I would say the main complaint about the health system for many New Brunswicker's here is not so much family doctors (I've heard some complaints but most people here I know have either a doctor or nurse practitioner), but instead with emergency room wait times. This is particularly frequent in the Fredericton area. (Saint John and Moncton are not as bad), but the DECH in Fredericton is notorious for extremely long wait times if you have an emergency which I have had the unfortunate displeasure of experiencing up to 21+ hours during visits. And some people choose to go to Oromocto instead in the past. (Although, I have heard stories like this from other provinces so not sure how specific this is to NB) This has been like this for a very long time... rural areas also have some similar issues with service levels at local hospitals, or sometimes ambulance availability and wait times. These are really toxic issues, which often have as much to do with the maybe less spoken of staffing/language politics than actual staffing... the privatization of the ambulance services has also been a fiasco with Medavie often not staffing enough people to try to maximize profits.

Hi there. I am originally from NB, but I'm thinking of heading back down East. I live in Abbotsford BC and have done so for 28 years. I had two questions: 1. Is it still smelly in St. John? As a kid, there was a pulp mill there that smelled really bad. While beautiful, that stink made me want to leave. Is it still running? 2. Is it foggy alot? My mother said as a young woman, that whenever she went to St John, it was foggy. What has been your experience?

08:51 lollol
