Dan Aykroyd Blasts California as ‘Medieval’ Mess While Praising Peaceful Life in Canada
New York Post ^ | Aug. 13, 2026 | Titus Wu

“Ghostbusters” star Dan Aykroyd revealed the grim, “medieval”-like reality of living in California in a recently resurfaced podcast interview.

In an republished episode of the Adam Carolla Show, Aykroyd spoke to the stark contrast between living in Los Angeles and Canada, where he hails from.

But Aykroyd quickly noted the discrepancy with other parts of the city and 60,000 homeless people living on the streets. “So the underside and the overside will always, always be there,” the actor said. “We’re living in frankly medieval times.”

Aykroyd said he drives “very carefully” and doesn’t go out during “prison hours,” referring to how he keeps himself in a gated community during late-night hours.

“Aykroyd said he drives “very carefully” and doesn’t go out during “prison hours,” referring to how he keeps himself in a gated community during late-night hours.” Didn’t he say ‘Jane you ignorant slut’?

I heard Canada has great MAID services, Dan. You should give them a call. The government pays for it.

Yet, I will climb out on a limb, and say that he most likely voted in the leadrs who have ruined California, and especially L.A.

A country of uninformed robots is bound to be peaceful. Just don’t get sick, Dan, or you’re likely to get offed by your government. Peacefully, of course.

The lawless years of 2020 to 2024 destroyed society.

I haven't been there for 30 years or so. While there, we remarked how similar Vancouver was to San Francisco, but without the bums. Seems that they caught up to San Francisco. Meanwhile, SF has been moving out many bums after the new mayor was elected. Maybe they're going to Vancouver.

Used to stroll up and down Robson St. walking to CinCin for dinner. Doesn’t feel as safe as it used to though.

Yes, but they have a country in the vicinity that makes invasion by other countries impossible.

The typhus outbreak in LA confirms this.
