trudeau is a lovely prime minister we have to be tolerant of the migrants they are nice people and the tax payer should pay for them to stay in hotels and they should be put in 5 star hotels to show our acceptance, and the prime minister said before they are more Canadian then ones born here as they choose to be here,  he is the best prime minister the country ever had I hope he stays on forever

I choose to wear a balaclava in public as makes me feel closer to the imaginary man in the sky.

I don't know what Sharia Law/ Islam is all about to hate it that much. We have Muslims in our country. At least around 20% of the population. Maybe more than Australia... but there are as many different interpretation of Islam and Sharia Law, as the Bible and Christian denominations. What you probably have is the Radical Extremist type.... The type that doesn't accept differences in culture and the population they are in. They are the minority who wants to have the majority rule... We also have problems with Radical Islam and majority of the Muslim population in my country does not accept them that much. There are certainly discrimination against Muslim, but not as much as most western countries does. My advise is to not to generalize Muslims as one type of people. There are people in that community that does not believe in extremist interpretation of the law. Second, deport or watch radical extremist as they are dangerous to any multicultural society, like the white supremacist and Neo- Nazis in the US. Some of them are citizens. Deporting your own citizen to a different country is far-fetched. Third, accept them as part of a sub- culture, having their own ways within their group, yet under the laws of the nation they are living. The way they dress, polygamy, and women's rights are just some issues that Westerners usually cringe about. But there are other religions who practice these as well. Lastly, stop hating each other because your hate will empower extremism. \nReligion is either you are born with it until you are old/ mature enough to choose or an independent choice.

Hahah...!!! ISLAM is LIE.! Since A.D. Why.??!! muslim guy are choose to be muslim why.? They can married 3 wife. First her wife: SISTER, 2nd her DAUGHTER 3rd her MOTHER thats why they women cover her face to avoid identify her self thats the reason muslim woman cover her face.!

If they chose the niqab they are choosing to swear loyalty to Islamic extremism BE CLEAR THE NIQAB AND THE HIJAB HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION

Seeing his crying child on Facetime doesn't make me sorry for them. It makes me angry at him. He alone put his family in this position. He alone is responsible for choosing to be a criminal and bringing kids into the world without the security every child deserves.

I ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: why this human rights activist who lives here in Toronto fears for her life? She fears that hardcore Muslims will attack her. Mister Trudeau, is she Islamophobic? \n\nAlso, she says a large number of Canadian Muslims sympathize with ISIS. Mister Trudeau, is sympathizing with ISIS acceptable to you? \n\nIf Niqab and Hijab wearing Muslims feel threatened in Canada, why did they choose to come to Canada? Why did they leave their countries where they were all safe and happy? Ask these questions to every Muslim woman. \n\nWake up Canadians! Stand up to liberals who are destructing the hard-earned advancement in human civilization! Stand up now before it is all lost, before it is too late....

“It’s a free country and we can choose what we want to wear” is the argument of the Canadian niqabi women. Why is there no “free Islamic country” where non Muslims can choose what they want to wear?

Get rid of all immigrants that oppose you and do not assimilate.All ride ppl sneaking over your border are well fed and clothed.They choose where they want to settle.And its not poor countries without free social services.WAKE UP CANADA AND SUPPORT AND VOTE FOR MAD MAX..HE IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.

If she chooses not to cover that's her choice. But don't go hating like Harper did cause was a Racist and hater like Trump is today.

She needs to stop making insulting hate comments about Women who choose to cover.

Like Jose tons of migrants had choosed the canadian west for its wealth (oil) but its a trap cause AB is at the same time the hardest on inmigration matters. \nIm pritty sure if he would come first to Quebec or maybe Ontario he will be permanent resident by now.#goodluckjose

I have read the Koran and I wouldn't want any Muslims to participate in choosing our lawmakers. Muslims are people who have chosen to follow the instructions in the Koran and to treat its dictator, Mohammed, as an example of perfect manhood.

There is nothing in the Quran about covering your face/head. That stuff is found in the Hadith. And Muslims pick and choose which Hadith they follow (even when they are found in the same books). For example, they ignore the Hadiths that talk about the FIRST version of Islam, called the Satanic Verses (Muhammad recanted that version of Islam, saying that the first angel he talked to told him the wrong things because it was actually a devil disguised as an angel). If they accept that Hadith, they have to accept that if Muhammad could be tricked by a devil the first time, what is to say that he couldn't be tricked a second time? Also, the Quran was not written down until much later, it was memorized by certain people. After a major battle a lot of those people were killed, so they had all of the remaining people write it down and there were many discrepancies (not just linguistic problems, but actual ideas that were completely different). The person in charge of compiling the versions burned all of the copies after he created one Quran. And since Muhammad was the last prophet and God only talks to prophets according to Islam, there is no way he could have had divine direction to know which to keep and which verses to scrap. There are entire books missing (such as the books that were eaten by a goat). \nNow that we have access to the Hadiths (they weren't translated to English until the 21st century) we are finding out a lot more about the history of Islam, and Muslims don't like it.

I just don't believe it.. How Canadian choose this asshole their PM

Canada refugees and asylums are to be blame for this. I don't see Canadians converting to Islam.. I see the Canadian immigration taking them in by the thousands, this is why they are the fastest growing religion in Canada. Canada is potentially another Sweden and France. I hate to use the public transportation and these NINJAS choose to come sit right next to me. I get very nervous

what if a group of guys choose to wear a balaclava?? will that make people uncomfortable ??

The guy never work in his pathetic life! Good for him to be very rich . Canadians choose a face to represent Canada ; now live with the fact that trudeau don't know how to handle any economic problem . Just get rid of that clown for the next elections , 2019.

U don't understand why women choose this to wear . They are not told to wear it except in sharia law places.

Of course the anti-muslim culture is getting worse. They come into this country, yet don't embrace the country they choose to call home. Ban their dress code, (we wear pajamas at night, not while shopping), take the veils off the women's heads and faces (like they don't allow Western dress in their rat-infested countries). But a better idea - KEEP THEM OUT which will keep this country clean.

There's nothing to be scared about. Muslims are peaceful. Whether you choose to believe that or not is your choice. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but don't judge someone based on their religion. I'm Muslim and know other Muslims and not one of them would harm even an insect let alone a human being. We are all humans, so have some humanity and show love.

They don't choose to wear that stuff.they r forced

Not only are these women who choose this type of  face covering mocking civilized progressive societies they are also stabbing women from the middle eastern societies who fight every day against this form of tyranny. I will also take it to another level as in gang wear as signaling to other women that they are some how more moral and better than them. These women I truly have no hope for. They have a mindset which is arrogant towards other women on an immoral high ground. They are attention seekers.The only way to go is to have it banned so that women who are forced into it can now have the RITE once it is law to not feel guilty or have guilt subliminally  placed upon them for not wearing it.

I choose to avoid anyone in any kind of cover, Hoodies included!!

He lived in the USA for 15 years and managed to save at least $15,000 dollars. He then chooses to go to Canada, putting his family in the same illegal situation as here. Not sure why he left El Savador, but 15 years is a long time. Chances are the reason is no longer valid, so he should have been able to take his family back and live quite well.

I have zero issues with immigrants seeking a better life in another country, being one myself, but a few things about some immigrants baffle me always. How do people expect to be welcomed and accepted by the folks of another country when they don't even bother to learn the language. This guys been in the US for 15 years and can't speak any English? Its not the worse case , I've seen people live far longer 30 or 40 years in countries like the UK where I'm from and they cannot speak a word of English because they choose to live in a self imposed microcosm of the country they came from. \nThey have to understand that it's very insulting to native people and citizens of a country that you want to be treated as a citizen yourself but won't make efforts to adapt to the language and cultures of the country you have chosen to live in, I cannot think of a better way to ostracize yourself than failing to learn the language.\n It would be far easier to have sympathy for your cause if you are able to show that you have integrated and intend to be a citizen of that country 100% and the easiest way is to be able to communicate your cause yourself.

Dear Vice, \n\nYou're trying to spin this into some sort of politically correct bull shit sob story but I am not buying it, and glad others in the comments are not too. This guy is an absolute disgrace, and is nothing but a bottom feeder. \n\nHere are my reasons why:\n\n1. Lived in the US for many years, yet chooses not converse in English. \n\n2. Thinks on the lines that hard working class citizens & legal immigrants will pay for the welfare of him & his entire family. \n\n3. Does absolutely no research in immigration laws, despite spending that many years in the system, and decides to enter illegally hoping everything is kumbaya on the other side of the border. \n\n4. A dirt bag for no reason whatsoever. \n\nI myself am not a citizen of either these countries. I personally would love to live and work there, however in the future I will choose to apply and enter legally, and encourage everyone to do the same. These asshole illegal immigrants ruin it for everyone else, just look where the US immigration system is at. It's an absolute mess!

I worked construction in my summers and I know skilled carpenters, even the ones that never went to trades school, can easily make $45/hr in Calgary if they subcontract or even $40 on payroll and its not even boom times. A lot of guys I worked with were easily clearing $100 000 a year but the problem is they choose to buy brand new pickup trucks on instalments or have overall poor saving habits. Hours are really long too. What I noticed about wages in Vancouver and Toronto are that they are really bad for construction workers, I know a guy in Vancouver whose a layout journeyman making only $21 a hour, a labourer in Calgary starts out at usually $19-20.

My family owns real estate and we're of Asian descent. I can say that we racially profiled every single applicant for our rental units. The first thing we look at in choosing a tenant is race, and the second is income/cash reserves. We've had Natives and blacks come in to take a look, and immediately rejected without outright saying so. We only rent to East Asians, some South Asians, and most Whites.

Preferring to live with people that are like ourselves is not racism but preference. If a black landlord chooses only black tenants, it is called diversity, but if a white one wants to rent the apartment to whites, it called racism.

SEND THEM BACK TO THEIR COUNTRIES UNTIL THEY ARE CIVILISED AND THEN THEY CAN CHOOSE TO TRAVEL LEGALLY. THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT THE PROPHET MUHAMMED FLEW TO THE MOON ON A DONKEY.

Of course they CHOOSE to wear it! Only their teachers, Imams, fathers, brothers, and all male members of Islamic culture tell them its the right thing to do. Oh and don't forget the honor killings for the girls who try to wear skinny jeans and date western guys, but that probably doesn't come into play at all with them when deciding. Surely nothing happens behind closed doors with the most violent religion on earth to force these women into wearing these ridiculous clothes. Right?

CANADA NEEDS TO ARREST ALL MUSELEMS AND SEND THEM BACK TO WHERE THEY COME FROM. JUST LIKE AMERICA IS GOING TO DO. IF YOU DON'T THEN THERE BLOOD IS YOURS WILL YOU CHOOSE WISELY. OR IS NO YOUR FINAL ANSWER. THERE RELIGEON IS FAKE THERE PROFIT IS FALSE THE CORAN IS A CONGLOMERATION OF LIES. NO ONE BELIEVES THAT ISLAM IS GOD SENT. IT CAN'T PASS THE QUALIFICATIONS OF A RELIGEON. THE AGE OF THE PROFITS WAS OVER WHEN JESUS CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED. AND A NEW COVENANT WAS ESTABLISHED AND A NEW AGE OF CHRISTIANITY BEGAN. SO MOHAMID IS NOT A PROFFIT ISLAM IS A FALSE RELIGEON.

Canada is always choosing the worst immigrands, those who are ready to work they are deported, but who suspected to accused for terrorists crimes are re-integrated with no prison sentence. Wtf for real, canadian politician are the most lost in hole world, very disscrastfull. Trudeau think he can stand easy agains russian with a poor army, Putin thinks Trudeau and canda are what so called cheese-land.

Everyone bashes the USA but the same thing happens everywhere because nations have LAWS. Ask anyone from Mexico and they will say the same if not worse happens at their southern border that happens at the USA border. There is a legal way and illegal way to enter and live in a country. If you choose the illegal way expect the consequences when you are caught. Don’t ask everyone to ignore the laws just for you.

I can't believe what's being said in these comments. So the fact that he didn't speak English in the interview is the only thing that sunk in? Ok. Many of the immigrants that come here , come for the opportunities: Work, food, shelter, etc. Learning English should be mandatory in all immigrants applying for citizenship but we can't disregard someone because they choose NOT to speak English. For all we know, this guy (I'm sure) understands and probably can speak some English but for the sake of the interview the producers mostly likely asked him and he chose to speak in Spanish.

He's not an immigrant he's an illegal alien there is a big difference. I don't want him in my country and I doubt the USA wants him either and for good reason. You cannot just pick and choose the laws you wanna follow and walk over the boarder and cheat the system. All that does is hurt the country and it's a spit in the face for all those real immigrants who wait,work and pay lots of money to come over here. Deport them all and build a wall.

No sympathy for this man. He choose to break US law and then tried pulling the same bs in Canada. He only has himself to blame. Stay in your own country and make it better. And if you really want to live in a different country, then for God’s sake do it the legal way.

This video was posted in March of 2015. I'm interested in knowing what the situation is now, generally speaking. I ask because I have lived for the last 9 years in Morocco where women dressed as in this video is more or less the norm. I want to know what I may encounter should I choose to return to Canada permanently, with pro-Islam views.

THEY CHOOSE TO WEAR IT BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY CHOICE FOR THEM UNDER ISLAM. IT IS NOT A CHOICE.

People are scared if you meet somebody in the dark street and the person is covered all over the body ...and even in the day lights they can hide something in there ..a weapon or somethings ...the woman covered themselves to please the man and to make the man likes them ????.or to choose them to be their wife ??.

Only surface level questions.\nWhy don't you do your job and figure out what islam is about?\nBecause you know very well.\nBefore 9/11 academics knew very well what islam was about.\nAfter that the elites started a propaganda campaign to convince everyone islam is the opposite of what it really is.\nYou're traitors to freedom.\nMuslim women who don't cover up tend to get murdered by their own family.\nOf course they 'freely' choose life over death.

we must do something because if we don't it will be to late to notice the consequence their religion is of war to rip all other religions and believes and make them islam so that means its either them or us and i choose us

If you're a landlord, you should have the right to choose who you rent out your own hard-earned property to.

What Muslims don't understand is the psychological assault they are under, because of their great prophet. To have to die if you leave the faith or choose another is psychological assault. Religion should be a personal choice not made under threats of death.

The Koran is a medieval book of conquest that preaches, intolerance, war, slavery and rape. Islam cannot coexist with\na free and open society. Relativism has poisoned and undermined the west. Religions, cultures societies are not\nall equal. Also they aren't equal to race - you can't choose your race like you can a religion or culture. We have become\nso dumbed down. We don't really stand for anything, that's why we fall for any lofty sounding B.S.

just watched the national on the cbc and an muslim guest said that canadians are accepting, tolerant, kind, etc --- I ask why are muslims not? they do not seem to tolerate becoming canadian - accepting our customs and when confronted some of them are really agressive (but that's just my experience) ... and then there's MO, a good friend of mine (his name is mohammed but prefers Mo - he says it causes less problems in these times) why are immigrates against integrating into our customs - it seems to me our customs are pretty good. we don't believe gays should be thrown off buildings - we don't believe someone who steals should have a hand chopped off, we do not believe that an atheist should be decapitated. If you have a choice it seems you should choose to integrate. now you'll say my view is simplistic - but we complicate things too much - progess is mans ability to complicate simplicity (someone smart once said this)

And yet they still choose to wear a rag on their heads...

fuck all muslims if u choose a western country to live in nothing wrong with that but live as a human being dontcover ur fucking face burca is the greatest downfall of islam ,it is an insult for woman and i dont understand logic bhind it.thank God i am not a low life islam

Muslims wear Burka or cover their face because. They can marry as many as 4 wives at a time. And sex slaves as much as their right hand posess so the Muslim women don't know their relative looking for his second or third wife in order to avoid becoming sexual target she chooses to cover her up. And Christian's can't convert her. Where as Muslim men go around converting Christian women initially and may even prowl on devorced working Christian women for their 3rd or 4th wives.
