Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I liked Canadian Pickers when it first started. It was a nice change from the faux drama and aggressiveness of the American Pickers. The hosts were easy going and didn't try to pressure sellers into selling them their stuff for next to nothing.Then it got stupid. Like American Pickers, they eventually added a cast of supporting characters who added nothing to the show. They also added faux drama and the Pickers started to act like jerks - aka the American Pickers. I started watching the series again recently because they've been showing re-runs. There's still good info to be had for people who are interested in antiques, but I can't say I'm sorry the show was cancelled. In the later episodes, it had become just an annoying as American Pickers.

First of all the kind of nick knacks and garbage bores the crap out of me, the fact that Sheldon can't tell a Ford from a Chevy or that Scott does not know about older bikes or motorcycles shows that they have no business being on TV or calling themselves "pickers". The show should be called Grandma Grifters. Whenever there is something of value regardless of how boring it might be Scott low brows and talks down to the sellers in such a way that makes me ashamed he uses Canadian in the title of the show. Not to mention his yes man Sheldon who pretends to be on the sellers side with the statement "that sounds like a good deal to me". And Sheldon only seems to know about stuff Grandmothers are interested in. Add to all this are the stupid sound effects, totally un watchable.The American Pickers have far more knowledge in classic machinery and at times make the occasional mistake that shows that they are at times winging it. At least I feel like I've learned something after watching the American guys.

When I first saw the reruns of this show I thought to myself , "who wants to see a show with two Albertans dressed up as cowboys digging in people's garages and sheds?". However, I made it through one episode and I like it. Scott and Sheldon are very knowledgeable hosts, and they are entertaining because they genuinely enjoy what they do and have fun. It's nice to see the smaller towns in Canada being showcased, but most importantly its cool to see the random stuff they take interest in, as I would have never have realized the history and collectible value behind some of these items. I have learned about Canadian history and antiques while watching this show, and even though the pieces purchased in this show are not as nice as those featured I'm American Pickers, I still enjoy the Canadian version more.

I love this show and find it more entertaining than American Pickers. Sheldon and Scott are much more charismatic than Mike and Frank, with a great sense of humour. They don't have a Danielle, so there is none of that checking in and lame back and forth about leads....more time for picking! While they are interested in cars, motorcycles, bikes, and signs like the American Pickers, their interests are more diverse. Women will enjoy that the Canadian pickers will look at art, furniture, folk art, glass, and "knick knacks" that AP would never bother with. Sometimes they visit Antique shows and purchase items from small museums. Of course, it is also a bonus that they will focus on Canadian History, and Canadian collectibles, because information on Canadian collectibles can be harder to find.2013 Addendum: the addition of Keenan the boxer to the cast was awful and his scenes were an utter waste of time. The recent addition of two new staff for the retail location was an improvement, as they seemed to know their stuff. - Every show has to have permission to film, so while there is such a thing as a "cold call", obviously we never get to see the initial discussion before a person is filmed and acts as if they've never seen Sheldon and Scott or spoken to a producer.
