I used to live in Brampton and this is the city where I first landed. No hatred for the city but people have ruined it. I'm a brown guy myself so I can't be racist against my own people and tbh, some of the best people I know in Canada are Sikhs but even they accept the fact that there is a large number of bad apples in their community. Sikhs have played a major part in both positive and negative way, to make and break this city.\n\nInsurance scams in Brampton cost their citizens to pay one of the highest premiums in the country. Generally, drivers in Brampton have no fuckin' idea how to drive because the licences were literally bought. \n\nA large number of people of our brown community always hell bent on abusing the system, wherever they go. We bring the same back home mindset here in Canada rather follow the system. \n\nThe only thing mostly brown community is focused on is how to make money and that's all. Don't try to learn the language, don't like to mix with people, don't care about the laws or anything. They only like to have nice big houses, show off their leased fancy cars and that's all.\n\nI left this city for good and don't regret my decision at all when I see numerous videos about the bad situation in Brampton. I'd love to move back to Ontario but cannot live in this city anymore. One thing really pissed me off when I was there that most people expect every brown person to speak Punjabi and when I used to tell them that I don't speak or understand Punjabi, you could see the surprized looks on their face.

Here's my message to illegal immigrants, liberals and the liberal media. This to the liberal media, Justin Trudeau said all the stuff he said about welcoming illegal immigrants with open arms and all of his Trump bashing also happened for one reason and one reason only. Because your cameras were rolling. It made him look good to all his liberal sheep and it made him feel good that he was standing up to the BIG BAD UNITED STATES AND THEIR BIG MEANIE PRESIDENT. He never for one minute meant what he was saying. Look back at all the things liberals like Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama himself were saying about illegal immigration when Obama was president. Back then they sounded exactly like Donald Trump. Even Justin Trudeau in the video clip they show in this video. I bet you people at Vice News even still think Justin Trudeau is some great awesome prime minister for standing up to the big mean US president. Yet you can't see past your rose colored glasses that he really isn't going to do a damn thing to help the illegal immigrants he promised to welcome. He'll deport them just like the big mean president. He'll just wait till they've spent all their money in Canada first.

Okay responding to the negative comments about this video. South Asians are not the only community in the west, if you are not going to complain about Chinatowns or ghettos; please show us the same respect. Because, we are a harmless, distinct and hardworking community; should not make us the perfect targets all the time.

I'm not Canadian. But watching this video really pissed me off. How can they speak alien language in English/ French speaking countries, eat their own food, they are making New India in Canada. Go back to India fucking moron!!!

No fucking way Joel is in Canada he lived in my neighborhood best friend with my brother and he’s going thru this I was looking at videos I can’t believe I found this omg

This video should be shown over and over and over again in South America so that they stop coming.\n\nIt is not going well in Canada the work is getting scarce and the jobs availible are low paying jobs you can't live on.\n\nThey and the media should tell the truth on Canada and what is going on here.

A lot of people complain he doesn’t speak English. I’m sure he does speak English up to basic conversations, but for sure not as fluent as what he needs to explain his situation in this video. If all you do is labor work and never had a chance to go to a school or college, all you are exposed to is the everyday basic language necessary for survival. So stop judging based on a 8 min video!

U see I wish these videos would go viral so that the pieces of perspective can connect the people. Now knowing this, the world is painting a very different picture than the propaganda in mainstream news.

It should be more easy to invade another country and use their welfare system for noncitizens... I’m saying that the USA should invade Mexico and they should pay for our US Citizens to live in Mexico as undocumented invading illegal aliens. The Mexican government are a bunch of hypocrites though. They go to California for campaigning to even get their own president elected. That shows how raped the USA has been from Mexico’s citizens. \nThis video of an illegal alien (lying invader who reduces immigrant to mean someone who doesn’t follow the law,) makes the USA look like a sorry worthless place to live. \nCanada even has rules and Mexico even follows their own immigration rules... but democrats and Californians make the USA look like America is pretty pathetic.

I managed a retail store for 25 years in a mostly Caucasian/Hispanic neighborhood the #1 Shoplifters were Blacks taking huge amounts in shopping carts. Its all on video, but the funny thing is 9out of 10 times the store security would be to scared to go after them instead the security guys go after white/ hispanic teenagers who steal energy drinks, and candy.. \nAll backgrounds shoplift, but black shoplifters go for $500 dollars of liquor ,meat, detergent every time they try to steal.

Great video, but I disagree with the section on the hijab and niqab. Both are symbols of the wearer's membership and commitment to Islamic extremism, so of course people are going to be upset about it. If someone were to parade around in full KKK garb they'd get the same comments The hijab and niqab are not part of Islam, but part of Islamism.

It's Islamists that are a blood stain on this country where thousands upon thousands of men and women gave their lives for our freedoms and rights but now look at what these people have brought to this beautiful country. It's a lot more negative than positive and its only going to get worse. They've brought grief with them everywhere they migrate to. After this video the good people of Canada have spoken, but who is really listening. It's just a crying shame. Their religion and ideologies are a disgrace not only unto them but unto the human race itself. Where is the goodness of this religion in our society, and where is the respectfulness and productivity when we allow these people into our country. I feel so very sad for this great country's future.

You were very fair and diplomatic I thought you were just going to bash America the whole time. Good video.

Hey! I was going to make a video regarding toronto, i was wondering if i could get permission to use a small clip from your video? I dont mind adding a link in the description to your video. Thanks

The mainstream media has done well lying to and guilt shaming Canadians on this matter. Even this video is horribly biased. When are they going to start openly telling the truth about Islam and it's shit values towards women, gays and non-muslims.

I truly hope most of the racists in these comments don't ACTUALLY live in Canada, because that would be surely disappointing. Hopefully they're just American racists who go from video to video regarding race and commenting on them. Just disgusting.

Enjoyed the video. I sent a message to Hannah but she has not returned a message. I was wondering if you or anyone who is reading this would give me some answers. I live in Canada, retired and am thinking of moving down to the US to live with my husband's sister and husband. They are going to buy a house in Sun City, Hilton Head. I was wondering Derek if you had to get someone to sponsor you or did you just move there? Have you since gotten health care, I was wondering how much you are paying. I read somewhere also that you have to take your drivers test, written and driving test since most states do not acknowledge Canadian license. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. If you or any of your readers want to email me, my address is copp12@hotmail.com. Thanks.

All of the people in the video trying to enforce sharia law should be removed from the country immediately, whether they're thrown into the middle of the ocean or back to whatever shitholes they came from, who gives a f*ck? Do you ever think British people could go to a muslim country (Such as UAE, Dubai, Pakistan) and tell the people that they have to follow British laws? No way! They would be dead in no time. Open your eyes Britain.

My personal thought about the women in this video, good reason they cover their faces, they are butt ugly! That guy with the long beard, I can recommend him a very good Sicilian barbershop, close shave I have issues with what is going on in Canada, the fact I didn't vote for Primister Deerintheheadlights makes me all the more angry, as I feel justified to speak out against the Liberals. I didn't sign up for this. Rushing in 25k more refugees is crazy. I am concerned about the security issues, and the fact the refugees will drain even more tax dollars away from our already fragile economy. Just thinking out loud, what benefit do these refugees have coming to Canada, none. They will live a life of welfare and eventual poverty. Some very few may prosper, and others will turn to crime. I can't see 25k refugees coming to the GTA to work on the railways and build subways or doing construction work. I can't see the refugee women working at anything more than Tim Hortons, if they are even allowed to do so, based on their religion. I have seen it, I live it everyday. Someone, please prove me wrong?

This is a pro Islam video? I'm sorry, but we are going to deport all sharia types soon enough, and Europe will too! This evil misogynst violent fascist, not even religion its a fascist system, that the elite seem to love, is going to get the boot!

The majority of Muslims sympathize with ISIS???? This video just said that. Why are we allowing them to dictate ANYTHING in Western culture? If they are uncomfortable in Western culture then they should go where they are comfortable.....

more white guilt propaganda bullshit. Im not a racist so don't brand me one, what I want is true equality which means that I'm not going to pander to minorities for the sole reason that they are minorities. The incessant complaining about stereotypes towards blacks is ridiculous, all races have their own stereotypes. If someone saw a well dressed black person heading into an office building they wouldnt think twice but if someone saw a young black kid dressed like a gangster,smoking dope and acting shady theyre going to think suspiciously of you and there is nothing wrong with that. stop making it about race when it has a lot more to do with how you behave and act. The drive to get more black people in positions over authority for the sake of diversity is itself racist, the best person for the job is the person who should be in office if 8/10 judges are white and they are in fact the best people for the job then their should be no desire to change such things, we need to evaluate the character of a person and not their race. So much bullshit in this video it would take me hours to pick it apart.

They moved here for a better life right?  Good...we agreed!  Now adapt to our lifestyle or go home!  If they are living here and are not doing anything wrong...THEN STOP WORRYING...YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR IF YOU ARE DOING NOTHING WRONG!  To the female speaking out in this video this is for you:  It's not just Stephen Harper it is all of Canada that gave you a better life on our Soil...respect it.  Maye we all should start covering our faces and only show our eyes Canada?!

I hope these idiots in this video who claim to be Muslims watch this and read these comments to know what they have achieved. Shame on them. What they are doing is just what thugs do and then they have the audacity to attach Islam's name with it. Go to Pakistan and implement it there or better yet go to Burma or Gaza and liberate the Muslims there. But you won't coz you're cowards. Here you do it coz it's probably one of the most tolerant countries in the world to all races and religions.

you are not wondering about anything you are just blindly throwing insults to a country that wasn't even part of the video or any comment. you're exposed for your agenda of blindless u.s. bashing and have nothing to contribute to this discussion. go play in traffic little one you have been blocked.
