The tax in Canada is not very high. At least compared to many other Western Nations. \nI came from Germany to Canada and the tax in Canada is a joke me according to me. Income tax with social contributions is roughly 42% even on average salaries in Germany. Sales tax is 19%. Cost for energy and fuel is almost ten times higher than in Canada.\nSure, Canada is pretty expensive. Housing, food and medication are massively overpriced compared to many at EU countries. I need medication every month and in Canada I pay roughly 180 Dollar while in Germany it was zero. Even without the health insurance I would only pay 30€ a month for that.\n\nOverall Canada is good, but doesn't necessarily offer a better quality of life. I only live here because I like Canadian people and the mentality is great.

You will find racism in every country, every group, every person. The only difference is the level of racism there and what happens as a result of it. I don't think you'll ever be able to rid the world of it, like with many things, but you can lower the levels. At the end of the day, we're all members of the /human/ race and that should come first above anything else.

There are scumbags everywhere and in every country, we do not all think like that!

Funny I’m from a small town\nAnd I’ve been going to the same gas station/corner store for like over 15 years and this new guy follows me and watches my every movement...and when these white kids I know are trouble makers he doesn’t do a thing lol the store owner actually told him “oh he’s okay I know the family” because he noticed the new guy watches my every move and I let it go for weeks but the owner told him I’m okay and he had this look like he wasn’t convinced lol needless to say he quit and now works at another store across town..another place I go to lol I said “hi man! Don’t like the area at the other place?” Lol just had to bug him because he’s uncomfortable around other races and it’s painfully obvious that he is lol

Canadians have a lot of prejudice that isn't limited to racism. Productions like CBC are disingenuous with their reporting to push a narrative. The 'test' alone (link above) uses semantics to manipulate responses, thusly results. Also, you can't peg a corporation for the perceived behaviour when following around white minimum wage workers. Attack corporations for the slave labour used to produce the goods you take for granted every day, how about that? Nope, you work for the government who is in bed with corporations. Dishonest journalism at it's finest. EDIT: You just held an experiment submitting double resumes with the same creds for min/wage positions then moved on to professional music auditions with a screen after resumes have been vetted /eyeroll

Is Canada as enjoyable as US. Like the parties in LA and Miami are amazing while Canada seems very private every one is busy with their own life

Ya Trudeau talked a big game and slamming America that we are cold hearted, until he got a taste of what has been going on here in America for decades... I see he is not liking this invasion on his country...\n\n $15,000 in his pocket, he should have gone to Mexico and sought asylum there.. He could have lived well with that much money.... I know hundreds of Mexican families that have beautiful homes and ranches in Mexico.. they go to Mexico almost every weekend to their other homes...

A good approach would be to enforce the laws that the state follows, in this case harassment. Treating harassers like any harasser would be treated. I don't think targeting specific groups is a good approach. Because when you do that you generalize and punish innocent people also. Attempt to make the laws fair and are capable of being implemented to every offender equally.

I live inn manority erea every day i deal with what people dont like to talk abought im 61 im white i get called names daily i see racism and violence all the time it makes me sad to see these people that are demanding respect do the same thing they complain abought abought\nI fotunate enoough to have good freands of all races that found the same truth i did \nRespect is earned

The content is really good. But I don't like the way that blue t-shirt guy tried to defame India by saying that the one can't get payoff well in India. Yes it start with low salaries but there are skilled jobs which pays more then any part of the world. It depends on skills and capabilities. I am sad that our Brothers are saying this where they born. I have a respect for every country and there are both side of coins everywhere.

Best Buy is annoying lol... I been there and every time I have like 5 people ask if I need help.. like go the f away Im browsing . ?? Pretty sure they are trained to be like that.

I see lots of videos like this and yes i agree that we have racism in Canada just like in every single other country around the world. I also notice that never once in one video have i seen one of these people mentioning the racism that is tough to children not just white children but all children as everyone knows racism is a tough behavior. As every single country has racism that means its a problem for all and for some reason the world only is worried about racism in white peoples instead of attacking this issue as a whole

Of course theres racism here.\nOf course police act in terrible ways.\nOf course no one wants to talk about it... \n\nAnd no, its not as bad as it is in the states... but it exists.\nWe militarize our police.. mostly from fear.. but also because its “good politics” to say “we increased policing”\n\nNo, its not right.\n\nCall it out.\nNot sometimes..every time. Not if its your race being afflicted.. for any race. Every time.\n\nIt DOES take time... it will not happen overnight. Especially if we want it to not come BACK.. which it seems to.\n\nTeach your kids. To stand up for themselves.. and for others.\nEspecially for others. Education starts at home. Dont trust schools or others to do what’s right... not until YOU do it too.\n\nSmall, steady steps will get us there faster than huge, resisted ones.\nRemember that.\nWhen a small step is taken, doesnt matter by who.. support it. Make the ones who took it feel it was WORTH TAKING... then watch how eager they are to take the next one.\n\nTrain them like a dog. One step at a time, with constant “atta boy”’s and treats.. and one day, they will just do as they should.. because its right? Because they want the pat on the head?\nDoesnt matter why, so long as they keep taking steps.\n\nWhen they take a step and everyone complains “its not enough” or “you dont really care”... why would they do it again?\n\nReward those small steps.. pat em on the head.. and they WILL do it again.\nPunish those steps, by complaining about it, because it didn’t solve everything at once?\n\nConditions them not to bother trying.

It happens everywhere and every workplace around the whole world I know who really pays for is the kids because as adults don't grow up enough we still act like kids this is kids doing this to each other'

To me, a democratic society is an equal and just society for each and every citizen. Freedom is where every citizen has all their civil rights in that democratic society. This means we should be valued and treated equally under every circumstance.\n\nI'm a Canadian and I can see we are not doing that by over-policing black and indigenous communities, by denying indigenous communities the ability to participate in Canadian society with their own culture in tact and by our biases about people with other ethnicities, like Asians and East and West Indians.\n\nWe may not be bad as the US, but we are still doing these things. It needs to be addressed and rectified if we ever want to be a truly self-aware, equal and just democratic society for every citizen.\n\nRegardless of the political party we support, I can't fathom why every citizen would not want an equal and just democratic society for themselves and their fellow citizens, as it improves everyone's lives.

I'm calling bs. I grew up in Scarborough, the schools in my area were mixed Caribbean, Canadian, European, Indian (and other South asain), Chinese (and other East Asian), middle Eastern, African, Latino, everyone went to the same school. Everyone's families were and are poor going through the same struggle. By the time I got to highschool I took the higher level courses, I went to class everyday, I wasn't a smart kid I didn't get to uni, I took a bridging program in college and got into uni. It's not hard to climb the latter in Canada if you work for it. Meanwhile at the same school a large percentage of Carribean and Somalian black students do not go to class, they skip, they dont care. In fact these same kids picked and made fun of the Asian kids that did go to school. They have zero respect imo. You can call me whatever you want I am just speaking my personal experience. School never seemed like a priority to them. I'm not Chinese or Indian but those 2 cultures always seemed like the hardest working. Those kids went to every class and got the best grades. Again Caribbean and Somalian black students in my area were more likely to be distruptive in class and get into fights. As were Greek kids and Canadian/Irish white kids. I am only pointing out the black students in relation to this video. Personal accountability is important, I don't disagree there is problems with the system but let's not act like there isn't a problem within black and even poor white culture itself. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror.

Why are we fighting over racism. It's not going away. 100 yrs from now it will still be a problem. We as humans will all ways profile stragers. We can't help it. In every race we have the same problem. Like any thing else, we have to find a peaceful way to get along.

she is Islamic every time Islam is present this is what you see Americans put them in office and now they are crying what are we gonna do, Obama set this up he said he was a Christian to hide this takeover we all seen this coming and did nothing and now it is happing you want taxpayers who has non Islamic state reps and non Islamic Governors to help pay to fix your states I hope President Trump says no to all the dem states they have harassed republicans since Hillary lost ran their mouths with hate speech causing division , using terms like white privilege , not realizing how many live below the poverty level ask us how privileged we feel , ask us how we like watching people from Islamic countries sitting the white house as senators state reps or governors , we have seen what happened in other countries that took in all the Islamic refugees from Pakistan , Syria Somalia Ghana , we have 4 million people in this country who hate Jewish , Christian , Catholic , and all non Muslims, who have pretended to integrate , and say they will build a Muslim infrastructure in 2020 and plan to get rid of Trump and open the country for open immigration to , Syria , Pakistan , Somalia any and Islamic countries will be welcome

Best Buy is bad about that...and I'm white....it's like every 2 seconds! I know you get paid on commission but leave me alone!

I thought every Canadian are fun like Jim Carrey, his Dad, and other Canadian.

They’re not happy in Gaza …\nThey’re not happy in Egypt …\nThey’re not happy in Libya …\nThey’re not happy in Morocco …\nThey’re not happy in Iran …\nThey’re not happy in Iraq …\nThey’re not happy in Yemen ….\nThey’re not happy in Afghanistan ….\nThey’re not happy in Pakistan …\nThey’re not happy in Syria …\nThey’re not happy in Lebanon …\nSO, WHERE ARE THEY HAPPY?\nThey’re happy in Australia …\nThey’re happy in Canada ..\nThey’re happy in England …\nThey’re happy in France ..\nThey’re happy in Italy ..\nThey’re happy in Germany …\nThey’re happy in Sweden ..\nThey’re happy in the USA …\nThey’re happy in Norway ..\nThey’re happy in Holland …\nThey’re happy in Denmark …\nBasically, they’re happy in every country that is not Muslim and unhappy in every country that is!\nAND WHO DO THEY BLAME?\nNot Islam.\nNot their leadership.\nNot themselves.\nTHEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN!\nAND THEN- They want to change those countries to be like,\nTHE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM WHERE THEY WERE UNHAPPY!\nExcuse me, but I can’t help wondering…\nHow dumb can you get.

Every where is the same if you are black, not only in Canada, across the glob. What I would like to recommend those abusing by someone don't give up flight for you right.

When people get beyond the boundary of a person's color you will face the reality of what this is all about in the first place. Isn't it funny when we look at things like professional sports. The music industry a host of other platforms you see the black community excelling. Now you do not see a huge rebellion taking place from any other nation that is not represented in those areas. So what is really up with these other areas you continue to bring up. All those other problems are not being escaped from because of a persons color. If you believe you have a problem in those areas. Then continue to find solutions. Stop trying to single out the fact that you are the only race that has life issues. When you know every Canadian daily has challenges it faces. The thing about it all is simply this fact. What are you going to do about it ? Stop putting up walls that tell others you are always a victim. If that were the case your basketball courts, baseball stadiums, football fields would not be filled. We all know that is not happening. And I certainly do not believe that all blacks live in this sort of arena. In fact I have a lot of friends who are black. All I see everyday is a beautiful person behind that face. The other thing is, that there are millions of Canadians every year out getting tans when the sun hits. That alone should speak volumes.

Please trace the WHITE GOVERNMENT agencies that are pouring guns in the poor black communities...like every many other poor black communities in European countries!

These two countries are very similar every side like currency name, area language culture political system education ..... etc except the population although they are almost same equal area why US is so populated and canada is less densely populated That is not fair I don’t understand here ??

I love Canada, I have a lot of family in Toronto and have been there many times as well as Montreal and Vancouver. Tbh, there’s no place like the US. We have all types of climates and geography. From deserts, tundra, rain forests, etc. We have some of the best mountains, beaches, and cities on Earth. If you like cold weather, stay up north like Chicago or Boston. If you like normal every season weather, we have many places for that. Mediterranean weather in California, and tropical weather in Florida. We have it all. We have the best sports fans in the world and every sport is accepted here. You can even see so many people play Rugby and Cricket in many parks. Many great universities throughout the country. Best attractions in the world for all age groups. High pay and decent cost of living in most part of the country. Supercar culture is the best in the world especially in SoCal (my personal favorite), TV and entertainment, and the list keeps going on and on. I know that the government in this country is pretty messed up, but hopefully that will be resolved in the future. I also respect the safety that Canada has, but have to admit that Toronto is getting pretty dangerous in some areas. Plus the History of America is amazing. I really do love Canada and would live there if I had to move out of the country, but there’s no place like the USA. ??❤️??

Canadians are patriotic but you dont see flags on practically every single property like you do in the US, it's a lot more subtle and we are predominantly christian but we dont really have fundamentalists Christians like in the US and religion and politics never mixed in canada, whereas the Republicans in the US are constantly talking about god and there faith

I love ur content and watch every video, but I’m kinda pissed about this video becauseI feel like you didn’t give the US the respect it deserves

I have been in both countries and like more the US, is more vibrant, funnier, you have bigger opportunities, the economy is more dynamic and you can literally find every single climate type across the US, from the Tundra in Alaska, to Jungles in Hawaii, to deserts in Arizona or even savanna by Florida.

when stated i like both us and canada very much i would say the same since i am canadian and pretty much agreed on every point in the video

Hats of to Drew's dedication for his work! Despite of him stuck in lockdown & short of content as being a travel vlogger, he’s still trying his best to provide us content every single day! It’s my humble request to all Drew's fans to never forget to Like ? his video for his hard work...

Trudy the UN puppet had no intention of shutting the border to more freeloaders. He must be brought up on this every minute of every day. Why aren't people blocking that road just like they blocked the railroads?

shame thing of getting a jobs, renting, racism , partiality, discrimination, bed language happening in AUS with single female Indian international student like me ...I thought if I get out of INDIA an come to AUS I wont regret my birth as girl child but no every where its the same case at globalized level!!

They're not happy in Gaza .. \nThey're not happy in Egypt .. \nThey're not happy in Libya .. \nThey're not happy in Morocco .. \nThey're not happy in lran .. \nThey're not happy in Iraq .. \nThey're not happy in Yemen .. \nThey're not happy in Afghanistan They're not happy in Pakistan .. \nThey're not happy in Syria .. \nThey're not happy in Lebanon .. \nThey're not happy in Malaysia.. \nThey're not happy in Indonesia.. \n\nSO WHERE ARE THEY HAPPY? \nThey're happy in Australia..\nThey're happy in Canada..\nThey're happy in England ..\nThey're happy in Hungary .. \nThey're happy in France..\nThey're happy in ltaly..\nThey're happy in Germany .. \nThey're happy in Sweden .. \nThey're happy in the USA.. \nThey're happy in Norway..\nThey're happy in Holland..\nThey're happy in Denmark..\nThey're happy in New Zealand..\n\nBasically, they're happy in every country that is not Muslim and unhappy in every country that is happy \nAND WHO DO THEY BLAME? \nNot Islam. Not their leadership. Not themselves. \nTHEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN AND THEN.\nThey want to change those countries to be like. \nTHE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM WHERE THEY WERE UNHAPPY. \nThis shows the intelligence of these migrants illegals refugees!

Hi Sir it's great to see you. One thing I would like to share with you, I hope you don't mind. Every person upload there videos and educate us. That's good we all people thank you for this. But no body is finding a honest lawyers to help process our PR file behalf of us. So I would like to request you to find out loyal lawyer for us. We will pay fees.

This is so frustrating. I spent twelve years in the apartment industry and went through literally hundreds of hours of Fair Housing Training. I was given test shoppers on numerous occasions, just like every other property manager I knew and I always passed with flying colors because I stuck to a script and said everything the same way, even with the same tone of voice, every time. It didn't matter who was in front of me, my job was more important than anything else and that meant absolutely no possibility of discrimination. Here in the US, management companies and even the individuals onsite can be held monetarily responsible if testers find them to be discriminatory. It is very disappointing to see property staff making such bluntly poor choices. We all know better in that industry. This is the 21st century, we should be beyond this.

I think they don’t like knit hats. Every time I wear them they creep me

Meanwhile as a black Haitian woman I can care less if someone does like me or following me inside the store. I’m good at ignoring people as long as they don’t put their hands on me, they can say whatever they want to say it’s their freedom of speech. At the end of the day they will feel like a moron not me. Ignore people and give them silent treatment it’s always best for me. As long as I love each and every race then I’m good.

I'm a white guy who lived in another country that wasn't a white majority country. There is discrimination in western countries, but there are ways to deal with it. The discrimination I had to deal with every day was much more than this, but nobody wants to know about that. The way I lived for those several years was to realize that I was different and I just had to maximize dealing with good people and when I knew that I would have to deal with something like having to get an apartment, I took that countries national with me knowing I would get a better deal. I was grabbed by officers at night and threatened. basically whatever is faced here, I had on a regular basis. At first, it pissed me off, but later, I came up with a way to maximize my life to get the best treatment I could. I didn't think I would be coming back to America, but eventually, I came back for more schooling and ended up staying.

Why do white countries feel the need in bringing over every 3rd world country's people ? You don't see this in China or Asia in general, Africa all the countries there and lets not forget India. So why do we feel like we can't have our own countries, everyone else has theirs

If every country has the same veiws on black people, couldn't it be the black people themselfs? Like if half are aggressive then how will we know what half you are?

I'm half white (but look full white) and have only been followed once in my whole life (I was dressed in rags tbh). When I'm with my half brother who looks black, we are followed at every store. That being said, his demeanor is pretty suspicious. He puts his hood up, hands in pockets, and hunches over. He likes to look at nicer stuff like watches too. He's autistic but to any security guard he looks like a guy trying to shoplift. It's a shame.

Thai here. Used to study at US for 5 years. Got a job at a local mart owned by a couple of Thai elders. I was super liberal back then but after 4 - 5 months.... Turne out stereotyes exist for a reason. I don't like it but that's how it is. We didn't have enough staffs to keep eyes on every customers. And 95% of all the shoplifters are a certain specific race. \n\nThey don't even care about the cameras. Only way to prevent loss is keeping eyes on them and get the merchantdises back when they tried to fled.

Oh and just because you read into things doesn't mean that was the Intent. I like how the white guy said he doesn't experience this much yet every ethnicity hates the whites so when is discrimination ok and acceptable and when is it equally not.

This is noting new. It happens here in USA . They come here , get their green card or citizenship and then live in China kept the Chinese Benefits they gave and if they are at the retirement age in USA, they get both benefit and then live in China and then come back when it’s seven months when they need to like every six months everybody knows and they all know what they doing.

Trudeau going to have to establish a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program in Canada now - people don't realize there is probably thousands like her scattered across the country mostly in the major cities. They all want similar relief from potentially being deported if they are caught. I have no problem giving it to them since most of them are young but I would enforce the condition that they have to resettle in Manitoba, Northern Ontario and the Atlantic Provinces - areas in Canada experiencing population decline, aging demographics and high job vacancy numbers. We don't need people who didn't follow the rules further overcrowding cities like Toronto and Vancouver where the cost of living is rising every year.

Racism exists in every country even those that seem tolerant like Canada or new Zealand....and why Regina? It's one letter off from being ..well, you know lol

For me I will say I hate going to Walmart especially when going through the self check and I'll have 2 items and they was sitting at there spot until I ring up then all of a sudden they're in front of me acting like they grabbing air. I can only laugh cause despite the beard look I know what I make and I can only be humble towards them. And I go out my way to show my receipt if I dont have one of my items get bagged. Even worse I went in to target and was one after maybe 5 minutes. A guy literally bounced side to side in every isle I was in while standing 5ft from me lol. Didnt even attempt to hide is actions.

Sorry but racism is everywhere. Yes America seems like the poster child for some reason, but every country has a dark past and hopefully we can all learn from it and move on.
