Indian-origin creator lists why he loves living in Canada, calls it ‘among world's most beautiful countries'
The video, titled 'Why I love living in this country' and with the text overlay 'Why I live in Canada', begins with Narang saying, 'Things I absolutely love about living in Canada, and these are the main reasons I'm still not ready to leave.'
His first point is about the country's minimum wage laws: every province sets one, regardless of the type of work. 'Trust me, if you're talented and have experience in a good field, you can end up earning a lot of money here,' he says.
Narang also admires how Canadians follow rules even without strict enforcement. People maintain queues, whether waiting for a bus or ordering food, no matter their social standing.
For him, the biggest draw is Canada's beauty. Calling it 'among the world's most beautiful countries', he praises the government for making residents feel at home, whether through festivals or community events. 'This country doesn't stop for anyone. If you're doing well and earning well, you will see your best days here,' he adds.

The reel has struck a chord online, crossing 200,000 views while also drawing mixed reactions. While some called it refreshing to see 'something positive' about Canada, others were quick to point out challenges like the healthcare system.
Narang isn't the only one who is sparking a conversation about life in Canada. Recently, an Indian woman living there shared a starkly different perspective in another video that went viral. Speaking in Hindi, she addressed viewers: 'Guys, hamare jo Indian friends ya relatives hain jinko lagta hai ki Canada mein bahut jobs aur paisa hai, unko ye video dikha dena (Show this video to your Indian friends and relatives who think there are a lot of jobs and money in Canada).'
The woman then showed a massive crowd waiting outside what she said was a simple employment fair for just a handful of entry-level internship spots. 'This is the reality of Canada,' she said. 'If you're prepared for this, then come to Canada. Otherwise India is better.'

Air Canada reaches deal with flight attendant union to end strike; to resume ops soon
Air Canada said it will gradually restart operations after reaching an agreement early on Tuesday with the union for 10,000 flight attendants to end a strike that disrupted the travel plans of hundreds of thousands of travelers. The Canada Industrial Relations Board had declared the strike illegal Monday and ordered the flight attendants back on the job.(AFP) The agreement came after Canada's biggest airline and the union resumed talks late Monday for the first time since the strike began over the weekend, affecting about 130,000 travelers a day at the peak of the summer travel season. Air Canada said flights will start resuming at 4 p.m. ET. Flight attendants walked off the job early Saturday after turning down the airline's request to enter into government-directed arbitration, which allows a third-party mediator to decide the terms of a new contract. The union said the agreement will guarantee members pay for work performed while planes are on the ground, resolving one of the major issues that drove the strike. 'Unpaid work is over. We have reclaimed our voice and our power," the union said in a statement. 'When our rights were taken away, we stood strong, we fought back — and we secured a tentative agreement that our members can vote on.' Chief executive Michael Rousseau said restarting a major carrier is a complex undertaking and said regular service may require seven to 10 days. Some flights will be canceled until the schedule is stabilized. 'Full restoration may require a week or more, so we ask for our customers' patience and understanding over the coming days,' Rousseau said in a statement. The two sides reached the deal with the help of a mediator early Tuesday morning. The airline said mediation discussions 'were begun on the basis that the union commit to have the airline's 10,000 flight attendants immediately return to work.' Air Canada declined to comment further on the agreement until the ratification process is complete. It noted a strike or lockout is not possible during this time. The carrier said it plans to complete about half Tuesday's scheduled flights, with a focus on international outbounds. The ramp-up will begin on Wednesday morning for mainline North American routes. Earlier, Air Canada said rolling cancellations would extend through Tuesday afternoon after the union defied a second return-to-work order. The Canada Industrial Relations Board had declared the strike illegal Monday and ordered the flight attendants back on the job. But the union said it would defy the directive. Union leaders also ignored a weekend order to submit to binding arbitration and end the strike by Sunday afternoon. The board is an independent administrative tribunal that interprets and applies Canada's labor laws. The government ordered the board to intervene. Labor leaders objected to the Canadian government's repeated use of a law that cuts off workers' right to strike and forces them into arbitration, a step the government took in recent years with workers at ports, railways and elsewhere. 'Your right to vote on your wages was preserved,' the union said in a post on its website. Air Canada operates around 700 flights per day. The airline estimated Monday that 500,000 customers would be affected by flight cancellations. Aviation analytics firm Cirium said that as of Monday afternoon, Air Canada had called off at least 1,219 domestic flights and 1,339 international flights since last Thursday, when the carrier began gradually suspending its operations ahead of the strike and lockout that began early Saturday. Toronto's Pearson International Airport, Canada's largest, said it will deploy additional staff to assist passengers and support startup operations. 'I am relieved that Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees have reached a tentative agreement early this morning,' Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a statement. 'It is my hope that this will ensure flight attendants are compensated fairly at all times, while ending disruption for hundreds of thousands of Canadian families, workers, and visitors to Canada.' Passengers whose flights are impacted will be eligible to request a full refund on the airline's website or mobile app, according to Air Canada.
