He plays with Robert (Mr. Woofless), Preston (TBNRfrags), Lachlan, and Vikkstar123, as well as Choco, PeteZahHutt, and xRpMx13.

Types of Videos
Mitch's content chiefly consists of competitive Minecraft mini games such as Survival Games (Hunger Games), Battledome, parkour speed runs, adventure maps, and more. Several Bajan Canadian videos include slangs sprouted out of his interest in food and "drank", the internet, video games, TV shows, and hip-hop and dubstep music, including his most well-known phrase "slap dat like button withchya forehead." His food and drank themes extend to the name of his former Minecraft server, "The Fridge." He has since combined it with Jerome and PeteZahHutt's server "The Hutt" to create The Nexus. He has posted videos concerning Roller Coaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon 2, and Poke'mon', most of which are currently unavailable to the public on his channel.
History
Mitch (left) and Connor (right), his little brother.
Mitch got the name "BajanCanadian" because he was born in Canada and grew up on the small Caribbean island of Barbados (Natives of Barbados are known as Barbadians or Bajans, hence the first part of his username). He moved to America in fourth grade, where he met Jerome and lived there for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. He eventually moved back to Montreal, Canada, his assumed birth place.
Mitch and Kyleigh
He has one younger brother named Connor, and two sisters named Kyleigh, the youngest; and Marley, the oldest.
Pre-Minecraft days with Jerome
He closed his first YouTube channel after his parents complained for perceived inappropriate content, despite personal themes in the videos; one of them comprised him mocking "2 Girls 1 Cup."
AwesomeSauceFilms Era (2008-2012)
Mitch joined AwesomeSauceFilms , which originated in 2008 as a general gaming channel founded by Jerome, which evolved to exclusively featuring Call of Duty content. While he used to often make videos regarding Call of Duty and Halo, the ASF personnel did not believe they would be contracted producing videos for Machinima for over 2 years. Upon uploading the first episodes of their later-popular Secret Spots, they soon found the role of Machinima Respawn Director. Other popular series during the period include Clip of the Day, Zombies, and Master Quest. The latter received a 13-hour compilation.
Team Crafted 2013
The channel entered hiatus in December 2012 because Mitch, Jerome, Zak and Mat got bored of Call of Duty, so fans tweeted "#ReviveASF", so the trio shifted focus to Minecraft, despite promises to resurrect ASF. Mitch launched his now-most popular series Minecraft: Hunger Games on November 1, almost 28 days before ASF's final video "Black Ops 2: Funtage #3 (Dolphin Dives, Secret Spots, and More!)" was posted. During the shift from general gaming to Minecraft, Mitch, especially Jerome, were frequently featured in SkyDoesMinecraft's videos, drawing an influx of young subscribers and generating criticism from older fans.
Mitch's yearbook photo and quote
Found by: @cassidywoods33 on Instagram, Mitch graduated from Beaconsfield High School in 2011. In his yearbook, his quote was chosen by random and was the famous quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Progress is the activity of today and the assurance of tomorrow"
Mitch's Current Minecraft Skin
In Minecraft videos uploaded before episode 6 of Hunger Games, Mitch wore a skin resembling Winnie the Pooh, referencing his favorite cartoon character as a kid. That skin was later changed to his current skin when he tweeted a picture of him in a red hoodie and asked his fans to make him a skin that looked like it and he would choose the best one.
Team Crafted Era (2013-2014)
As mentioned earlier, as Mitch and Jerome began recording with SkyDoesMinecraft and his crew, they joined Team Crafted. Team Crafted was a group of MC YouTubers who would record often with each other and help each other grow in the YouTube community. Mitch instantly gained a large subscriber base and became Team Crafted's most popular member, despite not being the most subscribed. All of Team Crafted would grow and prosper, but a downfall began, beginning around June and July of 2013. Dawn, Sky's fiance, broke up with him, and soon after, a falling out occurred between Kermit and the group, leading Kermit to leave Team Crafted.
In August, after feeling that Seto wasn't interested in what the group had planned and did not want to go to community or business events, Mitch proposed kicking Seto from the group. Seto was kicked and disappeared, despite the group trying to help him out. The next few months went by, and they planned the launch of their channel and brand. 1 hour after releasing the TeamCrafted Hub channel video, Seto released his own video after being inactive for months. In it he explained his side of the story. This released a bombshell against the group, mostly against Mitch and Adam. Everyone in Team Crafted's views dropped significantly. They pressed on, but several months later, two days after adding their newest member Ryan to the group, TC lost 4 of its members in a single night. Over the next two weeks two more members left. Their has been no mention of Team Crafted since its only private event. Adam seems to have had a fallout with Mitch, and neither mention each other anymore.
Mitch and Jerome are in a well-known ship called "Merome". Merome is the most famous ship in TeamCrafted (second famous being Skylox, which is a shipping between SkyDoesMinecraft and Deadlox). On Mitch and Jerome's 10 hour livestream, Merome trended 4th place on Twitter and remained on the top trends list for 3 days. On Instagram, Merome has over 5300+ posts, gaining 5000 after their Livestream. (Merome was previously called ASFCanadian, but the two YouTubers have changed it to Merome.)
The Pack Era (Late 2014-Present)
Sometime in late 2014, Mitch, Jerome, Preston, Rob, Lachlan, and Vikk formed a group dubbed "The Pack" which constantly makes videos together. They have done some charity things together, namely Pink Lucky Blocks For Boobs Videos.
Unlike Team Crafted, many feel the pack will live on much longer as all of the guys are legitimately close friends. Being in this group has encouraged Mitch to expand his horizons, including launching a second non pg channel and test a roleplaying series called Minecraft Toys. Even though it did not work out as mitch felt he wasn't good at it he still has found new motivation instead of relying solely on Minecraft Hunger Games. He joined H2M (How To Minecraft Season 2) and has kept up with the series quite regularly. He still plans to eventually release his pvp challenge series in which he goes on crazy pvp servers and does not leave until he wins a game. And he constantly tries to start a official regular livestreaming schedule as he enjoys it but always finds himself being so busy. He even for a time while lachlan lived with both him and Jerome to do crazy funny challenge videos that have been incredibly well received on all three of there channels and gained considerably support and viewership. Mitch is seen as newly motivated and truly happy to do what he is doing again.
