French Woman Shares Biggest Culture Shock in Canada
What is the difference between French and North American mentality? Solange, a French expat living in Toronto, Canada, shares her experiences and insights on community factor in both places and what it takes to get close to someone.
I saw lots of videos.
Why dont you interview Iranian people? 😮
Its not North America its CANADA…..its not the U.S
Don’t say “North American mentality”. We are not like or ever be like Americans. The Frencn womens statement says it all. We are Canadians.
Wake up you have no independent government anymore just a colony from USA like Costa Rica Alaska or Hawai😢
“There is no Canada like French Canada, it’s ze best Canada in ze land and the other Canada is hardly Canada, if you’ve lived there for a day you’d understand” 😅
France must be nice if people are getting attacked and everyone is afraid to help
Thanks for your positive feedback on Canada 🇨🇦 ❤ ! Much appreciated.
J’ai habité à Lyon, deux ans. Je confirme que les Lyonnais ne sont pas très intéressés par les problèmes des autres.
Ici en Bretagne, c’est différent. On est plus attentifs aux autres.
Solange Bertrand from Kaleidoscope 😢
She ran away from muslims and now theyre following her to canada 😂😂😂😂
Not funny at all.
Is she living in English speaking Canada or French speaking Canada?
no way for us to know that. Marina gets around
Very cool and true I have been to 🇫🇷 and 🇨🇦. I prefer 🇨🇦. Number one in Canada are very safe country but France is not especially with all of the migraines coming from Africa.
But be warned Canada is also not cheap Vancouver is listed as one of the top 10 most expensive cities in the world to live you also pay a high mountain taxes that rival Europe however you do also get good benefits such as free healthcare and education is subsidized
I like the rich cultural diversity that 🇨🇦 has to offer and the caliber of people are better in 🇨🇦 .
If I had to pick where to live I tolerate the cold and pick 🇨🇦
Il s’agirait d’arrêter de dire des conneries se n’est pas d’où les gens sont originaires ethniquement qui font qu’il y ait de la délinquance, Oui y a des migrants mais c’est dans quelle petit endroit dans Paris très loin des touristes sauf la Tour Eiffel. 2 les gens ne sont pas moins amicales qu’en Amérique du Nord et surtout ils sont moins égocentriques et individualiste. Qu’en à prendre l’exemple d’une agression dans le métro de x type dont où à pas le contexte et généraliser c’est très mal venu. Mais c’est ça quand tu vis à Paris et que tu fait un travail de merde. Wheeler] you smile in French 95 % get or back to you. And we have a far better health care système
@@thebig12conference73 i didn’t respond you back in english because my keyboard/ auto correction is annoying. Fine for you if you « speak » 5 languages but speaking english is not a big fact. And you did not reply to what I said. So if you Never set a foot in France keep your remark. And I don’t think speaking Russian can be of Any utility nowadays. Well go to the Park if I have to say it politely
Надеюсь, вам понравятся ваши африканцы

😂😂😂 western civilization 😂😂😂France and Canada 😂😂What language they speak there😂😂😂
Languages with almost no vowel 😂😂😂
Naaahhhh she is not in Canada long enough
In north America there is too much political correctness so most people are afraid or unable to go any further than an acquaintanceship. Also in anglo saxon culture more accent on independence and space.
That. Plus the fact that in France, it’s not considered rude to disagree or even argue. People do it for fun, it’s our small talk.
It’s very very strange to hear a French person to talk about being difficult to make friends in another country/ culture – when their own country is one of the coldest – socially/ psychologically in the world. This is not my opinion – this is something everyone who lives there for any matter of time notices…So basically they see it when others do it (as in: act cold and dissinterested in making friends with foreigners) – but they don’t see it when THEY do it 🙁 it’s sad…
Les Français ne sont amis qu’avec les Français
For sure, the french stick together. But she was actually talking from going to acqaintances to friends, which is, as i see it, different. In countries like france its hard to even become acquaintances, but if you are in, you are in and usually a friend; in countries where it’s easy to make acquaintances its usually quite hard to become friends.
This is your opinion. Don’t make it sound like it’s a global fact. I live in France and had no trouble making friends. You just have to learn french.
@@zaydalaoui9397 your pseudo doesn’t sound french to me. Making Arab friends is not the same as having french friends.
maybe we have different Canada? because in my Canada basically no one gonna help you or do anything if there will be mental with knife in TTC, people just gonna stare and wait or switch cabin
She is in Toronto as well. I suppose it is all about what we compare it too
nobody helps in Canada they might call the police to rat on someone doing something perceived as illegal…lol. not sure what country shes in haha
Happy Saturday, Marina! ❤
Yeah, they come to you because you are one of them. Birds of the same feather flock together, lady. No surprise there and only natural.
Lmao! Our sense of community is dead after importing a gazillion people who don’t even want to be Canadian.
Same in France.
World Economic forum and Klaus Schwab plan
@@tbrown4080 it’s apart of the new world order
And what about this woman? Do you think we “imported” her? Should she be allowed to stay
Same here in western Europe, to the next level since we have this problem since the 80’s
Some of our major cities, like Paris, London, Berlin, Rome, are actually populated by a majority of immigrants and their kids. Each “minority” build a closed community, that won’t interact between each other, or worse, hate each other.
You can definitely feel and see the difference as soon as you get out of those cities to a more rural area. I used to feel safe as a kid, leave my car open, leave my laptop in a coffeeshop for a couple of minutes, put my wallet in my backpocket without worrying about it and so…
I just can’t do it anymore, as a white dude you are the prime target for pickpocket and others.
Natives became the minority in those cities, the culture and traditions are not natives at all anymore, yet we pay the heavy price to support the foreigners, either if we like it or not.
Things are changing fast though, far right is growing quickly in western Europe.
Welcome to Canada Solange.
