2:40 he says he feels rejected by another country. \n\nYou rejected your own country when you left El Salvador. You rejected America by refusing to learn the language after FIFTEEN YEARS. Now you reject Canada because it isn't bending over backwards for you.

The issue is that the intending migrants and the general public are ignorant as to asylum law. The public think of asylum as some far reaching, grandiose humanitarian gesture- when the truth is that asylum laws provide an EXTREMELY LIMITED basis of relief. \n\nMerely coming from a dangerous country is NOT enough to win asylum, in the U.S. or Canada. A person must prove they are specifically persecuted, by the GOVERNMENT, because of some specific basis. A Central American claiming Central America is full of gangs and poverty, while true, is NOT a basis for asylum. This is why it's my personal belief that the thousands of Haitians making a run for the Canadian border have an almost zero chance of receiving asylum- ESPECIALLY after NOT living in Haiti for many years. \n\nIn spite of this, migrants still make these claims because it forces the country to go through a time consuming legal process, and is a way to buy time and prevent their deportation. Or perhaps allow them time to find a local job, continue their education, or have a child born in the country and then make a humanitarian argument to allow them to stay, even after losing their asylum case. \n\nThe truth is, unless a country holds asylum seekers in detention for the entirety of the process, it's a given that failed asylum seekers will NOT return to their country of origin, and will simply go underground.

I feel sorry for this man and his family! But I wonder how sorry he feels, knowing that by coming to Canada, he and his fellow immigrant countrymen have, taken jobs away from Canadians? 1500 people like myself that have worked here all their lives? I was working in the meat industry for over fifteen years, just to have my employer, take my skilled job and give it too an unskilled worker, under the temporary foreign worker program. That program was set up by the federal government for unskilled workers, coming to Canada for unskilled jobs that Canadians didn't want. My job was a skilled job, that I had to work my way up from the bottom, to the level of employment, that only skilled workers were capable of doing. This temp program was for unskilled employment only! But if your employer is big enough in the industry, the government allows them to bend the laws of the land, and give your jobs to any undereducated immigrant that comes along...WTF? Canada wake up!!!

Bring white and hated by women in Canada.

Well if Canada will take them ..better there than here .but I don't know the indigenous natives will appreciate that.

VERY INTERESTING, I GOT TO LEARN WHAT IT IS LIKE BEING BLACK IN CANADA , AND I LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES.

I've spent plenty of time in Canada and it is not as flagrant as the states but racism is EVERYWHERE.... They are much nicer in Canada but its hurtful that people won't face the problem but rather turn the other cheek.

So escaping from a war or gang torn area is not good enough canada, good job eh!

Man the natives get it the worst here, this coming from a black man's stand point. C'mon Canada you can do better.

gang gang canada skeet

FACTS form canada statistics is we are 290 billion in debt from immigration. 35 billion a year now. And we send 25 billion a year to the Muslim brotherhood.

Save Canada from this Islamic cancer before it too late.

and Canada's health care system sucks........its pathetic compared to the US......but Canadians are brainwashed by their Government..............the Canadian Government has them brainwashed to accept the so called Free Healthcare, and run by a bunch nitwit politicians is pathetic.......Canada is like dictatorship dictating how Canadians should live their lives.......its become so ridiculous.......the USA is way better for sure

The black daddies club need to be established down here in the states!!! I grew up just a few hours from Canada in Cleveland, Ohio and my old elementary school had a weekly gathering of fathers back in the 1970's called the fathers club that met with their families every Wednesday night.

ALL MUSLIMS OUT OF CANADA NOW!

I see America as a jacked up version of Canada, just California along has the 6th largest economy, but being jacked up doesn't always mean superior in all categories.

Canada have to get off muslim

Yeah, we're not so awful... I'm American, living in Canada, and honestly, I'm here for my husband, who is Canadian. I absolutely ADORE him. The only thing that annoys me about Canada is the fact they seem to hate diabetics, anyone on a low-carb diet, or anyone who just doesn't want to eat a ton of sugar. In fact I can't get anything sugar-free in a store (simple things, like sugar free coffeemate, sugarfree cake mix) unless I pay, I'm not even lying here, TWENTY TIMES THE PRICE on Amazon, (I'm not paying $85.00 for a 10.2oz canister of coffee creamer... WTF?) That is 3.49USD in any walmart. These people have to be kidding me.

Canada is a land of immigrant, the only original pple of this country are the aboriginal people. This country those not belong to whiteys.

It is funny they hate western culture but they all want to come here. But when we raise our opinion on them we are races. I'm an emigrant but I get deeply offended by the policies how Canada is handling emigration from muslim countries. Look at Germany France and I'm not even mention Sweden , how muslim emigration enriched their countries. These people don't want to integrate to our society they want to creat same shit hole the just climb out of.

Justin Trudeau now have to follow the Trump. Obama is no more who was pro terrorist and have supported, funded terrorism.\nJustin better follow the careful policy on immigration or else Canada will be worst country in the world.\nAlready Canada is facing worst symptoms of muslim domination in many areas. Justin,are you going to convert yourself to worst religion Islam in world? if yes then you are not worth to be Prime minister of Canada. Please resign immediately

Where in Canada are you from, and where in the states are you living? If you don't mind me asking…

Canada is a wonderful country my obligations towards this country is to protect it muslim or no Muslim, don't let the hate words and feelings bet to you guys don't listen to any comments against any religion we are in harmony here and we wanna keep it that way , god bless this country and protected from the Worms they are trying to spread the poison & fear in our thoughts and beliefs

There are two places it happened to me, it was canada computers and food basic, both place situated side to each others in North york.\nI didn't care because I realized it was a tricks to make me flip with anger. \nIt's basic case of police and csec gangstalking, they do that in revange when you complain about them in the past or when they listen to your phone conversation and you said something they didn't like. \n\nWelcome to the canada third Reich

I know racism happens everywhere, but can a real conscious black person in Canada inform me on the kind if racism there?

I want to live in canada

no one in Europe, Canada, USA covers his/her headon the street if anyone doesn't like it or respect it this is a time to come back where they came from. Eu, Canada or US will not change rules.

What's the difference between Canada's leftist state run propaganda and Russian state run propaganda?\nIn Canada, when there are too many dissenting opinions, the comment section is more disabled than Stephen Hawking.\n#DefundTheCBC\n#SellTheCBC

wtf does hamas have to do with Canada

The Muslims in Canada are very racist

Whenever I take a flight within the states they always let veterans and those who have served in the army board first which is fine by the way. I just find it interesting because we don't do that in Canada at all. Veterans get a special license plate and maybe a parade once a year?

sounds like canada has more in common with britain than usa, except britain is a tiny country

Canada is fucked, Muslims already took over some areas in Canada, and after the Paris attack by of course Muslims they wanna bring in 25,000 which they don't have the money to pay for these shit holes.

Fuck your religion. There is no place for religion in my canada. Stop being simple minded and believing in fairytales. Grow the fuck up.

Very inspirational, for all men and fathers in Canada, regardless of race... thanks!

it blows my mind that people can somehow get beyond the fact that mohammed was a child rapist, and decided to listen to what he had to say. why is it we can safely poke fun at those ridiculous scientologists and their insane hubbard founder, but the moment someone points out that mohammed mairried a 6 year old girl and consumated the marriage when she was 9, people start blowing shit up? islam is anathema to civilised society, and has no place in canada.

Canada is a freedom country . Canada is not a sharia law country some muslins want the world Sharia Law .

If they go to an airport, do they have to take the niqab off? If they don't, its a security issue. If they can see our faces, why is it fair for them to look at us? The koran has been interpreted differently by many generations of people and is changing constantly. This religion is by far the most unstable religion. There is only one god, and to get there does not mean by having a book tell you what to wear and how you wear it. If you want to wear hijabs in a country that is christian, then live like them too. If your not happy living in Canada, then go to where you came from. We don't want you here if you leave that old country because it was shit. Don't come and fuck up our country.

Remember to all vote! That way we don't have a racist running Canada!

There a reason why Islam is growing not just Canada, all Europe, America, Australia so on because it the truth, same message intact from Adam(pbuh) to Muhammad(pbuh)\n\nISLAM MAKES SENSE

It is not to Canadians to understand the stupid Coran but to muslims to understand Canada !!!

How Muslims treat Muslims of a slightly different faith is evidence enough of what they truly represent. help for Syrian refuges is not coming from the middle east.\nshove you excuses pc people.\ncould you imagine Canada saying no to Britain in the last 2 world wars cause your religion is slightly different.\nCountries in the middle east who have the same language and culture as Syria but a different form of Muslim will not allow 1 refuge in, the Religion of Peace at work.

Canada is so fucked 20 years from now Muslims will be the majority.

Idiots, countries where the niqab is required under sharia law the women DO NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS MEN! They are not allowed to be educated or drive a vehicle. This is what Steven Harper is referring to, because Muslim women in Canada are choosing the Niqab which is rooted in countries with the oppression of women!

Problem solving in Canada?...DEPORTATION NOW !

It should be much harder to be muslim in Canada. Go and live in KSA if the shoe doesn't fit.

What a subtle way by the CBC of saying your restaurant isn't closing down because of your skin color, its because your food is too overpriced and the service sucks. The Chinese restaurant across the street is still going strong.\nStop pulling out the race card for everything.\n\nI'm not saying saying racism doesn't exist in Canada but saying your business is failing because you're black even though other minorities in the area aren't being discriminated against? Maybe you should reevaluate your service, pricing, and quality of the product instead.

Canada is not as racist as the US, but I have encountered racially hostile fellow citizens, colleagues, police...Sadly when I was young, such encounters often made me angry and reflect that hostility back....It affected every aspect of my performance in the society, a perfect example of self fulfilling prophecy for those who put out their hate and insecurity out into the world...\n\nI think it is very very very important for black parents to dedicate a very specialized home discussion and teachings to immunize their children from this vile.

I been discriminate for my language many time here in Canada.

Well, this is bad for the UK. Hopefully we can do something in Canada before it happens as it does in every europe country. Oh wait, it has already started, someone save us :-/
