Скачать или смотреть Why I left Canada for Russia (And Will Never Go Back)

Why would someone leave Canada to live in Russia — and decide never to go return?

In this video, I share my honest, personal story of why I left Canada 4 years ago, why I stayed, and why as things stand today I have no plans to ever move back to Canada.

This isn't political content or propaganda. These are my observations and experiences of living in Russia. I compare them to my experience in Canada.

As I speak, I’m wandering through central Moscow on a winter day, beginning at the bridge beside Cathedral of Christ the Saviour and following the river past Muzeon Park. Along the route, you’ll get a glimpse of the city in a peaceful winter setting — its streets, its mood, and the ordinary scenes of daily life that seldom appear in Western media in 2026.

In this video, I talk about:
• Why I originally left Canada.
• What attracted me to Russia.
• Why I chose to stay long-term.
• How life in Moscow compares to life in Canada .
• Safety, stability, and quality of life.
• Cost of living and day-to-day realities.
• Why I don’t plan to move back to Canada.
