This is a great documentary. I assumed Canada was very inclusive and multicultural. I never heard about slavery in Canada or racism there. As an African-American woman I want to know all about the experiences of BLACK PEOPLE all over the world because we are connected. Many of our families were torn apart during slavery. Most of us can’t trace our history five generations. I’m glad we have YouTube to find information through documentaries like this one.

THIS IS A GREAT SHOW. I AM GLAD TO VIEW IT. BUT THEN...I AM SAD ABOUT THIS SHOW''S USE OF LANGUAGE WHEN DESCRIBING SKIN COMPLEXION AND ''''''''''''''ENSLAVEMENT'''''''''''''. Any, and all, and every human can be caught in that bind.\n\n[[[ me-too ]]]: I CAME FROM A LINEAGE AND ANCESTRY OF PEOPLE WHO WERE STOLEN FROM AFRICA AND BROUGHT TO THE LANDMASS THAT WOULD BE CALLED AMERICA AND THEY WERE DEHUMANIZED TO AN INTH DEGREE, NO-HOLDS-BARRED WHATSOEVER... WHATEVER '''''EVIL'''' IS CAPABLE OF DOING TO ATROCITIZE A HUMAN BODY WAS DONE TO MY ANCESTRY AND LINEAGE...BUT I DID LEARN THAT IT WAS NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR SKIN COMPLEXION....THAT CAME LATER AND IT HAD A SERENDIPITOUS KIND OF ENTRY INTO THE LARGEST TRANS-CONTINENTAL '''''SLAVE TRADE''''''------NO!------''''''ENSLAVEMENT TRADE''''' IN THE LAST 500 YEARS OF MODERN HISTORY. BUT YOU SEE....THAT IS THE POINT. THIS HELL ON EARTH WAS JUST ONE PERIOD OF ATROCITY LIKE.\n\nSO. THE POINT IS; right now.....right now....it has been said there are as many as: 200,000 to 4 million people held in bondage in America and forced to behave and act like something called a ''''slave''''. The people are beaten and starved and raped and cut, and all such evils to force them to give up their ''''personal will''' and admit wholeheartedly that they are a '''''slave'''''. And this is true for millions of years or hundreds of thousands of years in ''''the humane experience'''' all around the planet Earth. Everywhere. And, by all people. Enslavement is something our ''specie''' will do to each other but usually on a small scale....not in the millions for centuries. And the people have all kinds of complexion. \nTHERE IS A LUCRATIVE INTERNATIONAL '''ENSLAVEMENT TRADE GOING ON RIGHT NOW'''' BUT WE CALL IT ''''TRAFFICKING''''' BECAUSE EUROPEANS ARE ENSLAVED IN THE TRADING AS WELL AS ANYONE ELSE..\n\nWHAT IS MY POINT? My point is:: my lineage and ancestry were not slaves....they were not slaves....they were ENSLAVED.....ENSLAVED.... ENSLAVED....ENSLAVED...ENSLAVED.\nWe can begin there to understand this atrocious behavior in the dys-human (evil) beings among us. We cannot fight what we do not know and understand. They were NEVER slaves; they aren't slaves today: they are enslaved. And when we join together and free them from enslavement they can start their lives without that banner still injuring their lives.\nTHEY WERE NEVER SLAVES; THEY ARE NEVER SLAVES: THEY ARE PEOPLE CAUGHT IN A BIND *in bondage* AND DEHUMANIZED TO AN INTH DEGREE BUT STILL THEY ARE A PERSON INSIDE WHO NEEDS TO BE SET FREE. (DON'T MARK PEOPLE FOREVER BECAUSE EVIL CAME UPON THEM.)\n --margaret opine, cultural anthropologist

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.

I’m an independent (and I mean it, I feel zero in common with either party right now). \n\nWith that said, I live in San Francisco and work in tech. There’s the STRANGEST thing here. People idolizing Canada as their liberal shining star of a country. \n\nBut uhhh...they greatly limited their refugee intake as well. \n\nRemember those oil pipelines you were so against? They start in Canada. Canada’s prime minister who you love, was the one applying pressure on the US to allow them to be built. \n\nBut hey, they got universal healthcare. \n\n...but that’s literally it.

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.

Americans are our best friends.......Canadians have a bad perception of Americans, and none of its true......great people, and great country & a great culture.......lived in Michigan for 30 years, and enjoyed every minute.......now I have American son and Daughter, and Michigan born grandkids.......love the USA......Canada really blows.....too socialist

I am hindu and I have a great respect for muslim people but when you look some of the points in Shariah Law , it is very scary . May be I did not understand but it had death penalties for so many normal crimes

Our politicians and police force are giving these terrorists a free hand. Civil war is coming to every western nation. Canada is heading for civil war .... just you wait in 10 - 20 years. This religion is going to bring great tribulation. Please don't confuse religion for race. Muslims are a sect of people that can be any race. STOP CALLING PEOPLE RACIST.

Being covered is a great privilege and shows how Islam honors women more? ROLF! Just goes to show that there is more than one way to look at a situation. BUT. Imagine that she were to one day decide to go out to a beach in Iran wearing a g-string bikini. It would be a death wish on her part! How can people listen to this nonsense and take it seriously?

the main reason why people hate muslims now is that muslims dont change their beliefs or culture, no matter where they are like poison they will force the culture of any country to become islamic, they corrupt everything, look at our governments who dont have the guts to stand up for the way our countries are, trump has the guts but not the brains to not be foolish, but since he is winning the american polls and if he changes things, great

If Islam is so great then why are these people trying to flee their home countries?

*Time is running out! Read the Book of Truth and prepare for The Warning, the Illumination of Conscience. Christ Time which is entwined with the Divine Will of God the Father is almost upon us. The Warning will purify God’s children in preparation for Christ's Second Coming. Seek redemption for your sins with a purity of heart, purify your souls through fasting, prayer and penance. This will help ease your suffering of penance at The Warning. This is frightening for many and very difficult to digest. Yet it is the Truth. The more people that are forewarned of this event, the more souls will be saved. For those who find difficulty with the Truth given to you now through God's final end time prophet, His 7th Messenger, you must ask God for the Gift of the Holy Spirit before you can open your ears to hear His Voice to the Truth of His Holy Word and to the instructions that He gives us so that you can have Eternal Life. There are many revelations now being imparted to us so that we know how to prepare ourselves properly. Relish the Gift of prophecy from God. Don’t reject it and don't allow the devil to plant doubts in your mind. Ignore this warning from Heaven and you will suffer more than is necessary. The time for the end times draws very close now. Prepare now for this Great Event. Pray for God’s Mercy. Prepare to face God for soon the skies will explode, split and the Fire of the Holy Spirit will be upon us all!   The BOOK of TRUTH ~ Online  ~  My BOOK of TRUTH ~ Online with Select Language  ~  ((The abundance of every possible Gift, including miracles from Heaven has now been manifested in the BOOK of TRUTH for the good of all – The Book promised to the whole of humanity for these end times. Accept it with a gracious heart and give thanks to God for one of the last Gifts from Heaven before the Great Day.))*

If you send them back they will spread the message we will not allow them into our borders. If they stop coming the smugglers will not be able to operate, and so they will not be able to come. The reason why people come to Europe is a no brainier. You can starve, and die in Africa, or be paid to live in Europe, the only thing that stands in your way is the risk of death getting there, week politicians and 'human rights' is what have let us down. Sometimes the sacrifice of the few is necessary for the great of good (on in this case the stability and prosperity of Europe)

great job! thank you for this Video ! an eye opener for a lot of people.

chapter 5 verse 32 in the quran tells us this \n\nSahih International: Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.\n\nPickthall: For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.\n\nYusuf Ali: On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.\n\nShakir: For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our messengers came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.\n\nMuhammad Sarwar: For this reason, We made it a law for the children of Israel that the killing of a person for reasons other than legal retaliation or for stopping corruption in the land is as great a sin as murdering all of mankind. However, to save a life would be as great a virtue as to save all of mankind. Our Messengers had come to them with clear authoritative evidence but many of them (Israelites) thereafter started doing wrong in the land.\n\nMohsin Khan: Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allah by committing the major sins) in the land!.\n\nArberry: Therefore We prescribed for the Children of Israel that whoso slays a soul not to retaliate for a soul slain, nor for corruption done in the land, shall be as if he had slain mankind altogether; and whoso gives life to a soul, shall be as if he ha given life to mankind altogether. Our Messengers have already come to them with the clear signs; then many of them thereafter commit excesses in the earth.

I find that with each generation, the issue with racism becomes slightly less and less, which is great considering slavery was abolished only for about 100 years. I find that living in Canada as a black millenial is much better then say living in the 70s. I never faced racism the entire time i grew up here. but then again I haven't been everywhere in Canada. I think the most you'll experience here right now is indirect racism in the small towns. but you just have to show them who you really are and most will be OK. I don't think a lot of the people still have the mindset left in the 1900s. especially not in the major cities where its so diverse. but there's racism everywhere no matter what you look like. I hope everyone can look past appearance and stereotypes some day.

I don't care if you wear hijab but covering face all the time and refusing to take pictures for lisence and passport is not okay. also when the whole world has problem with your religion maybe there must actually be problem you have to fix and not act like you are the victims. we have right to be careful and no its not fair to you but this is what people who follow Islam faith and harm others get you. Islamic people out cry for their right but have to problem taking others away. for example wanting daycares to ban pork just because they can have porn. you should not get special treatment for you religion. I am Hindu/Buddhist and I do not ask people to stop eating beef or many other restrictions that apply to me. the pride of your religion is what's keeping you guys from sensible thinking. and no not all Muslims are the same but the percentage of people that share hatred for other religions is too great too ignore. if you want people to accept you then try becoming a part of the culture and not try to change it for your liking. show love to other faiths and athiests. stop trying to make exceptions for your religion.

There's nothing wrong with being afraid. They can't force themselves to not be afraid of Muslims. There's a great video showing the percentage of radical Muslims. It's 60 percent. So it's not a minor it's a majority. But that doesn't make them all radical, someone I know is Muslim and they are very nice and peaceful to their people.

I used to be a very liberal person for most of my life and tolerant of other cultures and religious faith, like many others I may add.\n However my tolerance is wearing somewhat thin, like many others I may add again, after hearing the same old opinions coming from Muslims repatriated in western societies. \n They come into our cultures on mass and never assimilate into ours, but create their own little pockets of cultural being within our national borders.\n We hear time and again how the indigenous populist must be accepting of them, even though very few are accepting of our culture, using an analogy it's akin to inviting a stranger into your home and give them a safe place to live, food, money and all items that go along with it, and the next thing their sat on your favourite chair with your remote in their hand, even going to bed with your wife!\n We need to wear our head covering it's our right they chant, OK then, afford the same favours to us in your country, let my partner wear her bikini when she's walking down the road, let us drink alcohol, build Christian churches, you get where I'm going with this.\n If it's so great there why do you choose to live here? All the customs you seek are there if you feel that uncomfortable here? \nGiving Sewden as an example, there are now 180 Muslim 'ghettos' not the same you get in the US as the accommodation and welfare is quite generous there, a lot of them are 'No-go' areas even for the police, they mostly hate the Swedish people, a criminal element there will only rob off the swedes, and rape has gone up tenfold committed mostly by the Muslims, and it's only going to get worse as they are accepting another forty thousand of them, even though they have a crisis of a shortage of housing. \n If you ever needed an example of when your political parties have totally lost the plot, and are insanely progressive and what your country could become, then use Sweden as a barometer as to what your country could also decay into.\n The Muslims hate use, hate our freedoms, and just think of us as 'infidels' , multiculturalism has proved on this scale that it does not work, unless immigrants come with the mindset that they assimilate into the culture they are heading for, not the other way around.

They love to hate others and yet cannot even love themselves .  The direct link to this cause  is what they feed their minds on . Look at their countries ! They have as much room or more to live on and in  and  they choose to live in Poverty and IGNORANCE !?  Were these the great peoples of the Book that we studied about in school ?  Where is the rational mind ? where is the creative and productive soul who has created some thing to be of a benefit to their families or friends or neighbors ? A car bomb ? A suicide bomber ?  Where , For the Love of God are their heads ? 

Great Britain is not an Islam country so I don't believe they can enforce there law upon our people. I am happy with Muslims worshiping there god at there mosque as religious believers should be entitled to go to a place for worship but these kind of beliefs are outrageous ! I would not have anyone tell me what I can do in my home country. I am absolutely against Religion and these things actually push why I hate it! I am not against religious people (as some can be accepting and ok people) but I am against what it can do to people and what it has caused. 

I really do feel sorry for Great Britain, how can a stupid person who claims to be Islam just open their mouth to enforce law in other peoples country? a Who gave them the right to? The British people have to stand up against these mindless cowards, tell them who's land they are in.

IAM NOT MUSLIM BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE TAKING THE PISS{I WANT THEM TO TRY THAT IN JAMAICA} HAHA MUSLIM AREA WHAT THE FUCK LOL GREAT BRITIAN WAKE THE FUCK UP BEFOR ITS TOO LATE

These people think they are the superiors out of all human race but the thing forgetting is that there were great empires before like Arabian empires and did not had any issue with any race, color of religion. These pplle love to be racist towards any weak pplle and its a hobby to them, they enjoy it. My advise is to these arrogant, ugly, smelly, alcholic, pedophiles, that take a course of how to be a good human being.

All they are good at is robbing other nations wealth, man can u believe these people living on other hard working ppl's wealth which they bought by colonising and invading and they call that a great empire.. These pplle are worst than devil, even he is shamed if them.

if they dont like the laws of this country, and they dont like the people init, who dont share the same views......then why dont they leave it and take their nut case radical religon to a muslim country where they have sharia law???? and leave us GREAT BRITISH people alone!!!!!!!!!! and to all the normal muslims who are happy to live along side us and let us get on with our lives, they can stay, live in peace and free of nutters imposing their views upon them and us!!!!!!! RULE BRITANNIA!!!!!!!

Most are. And if you dont beleive simply look hard at the middle east and places they go too. However I greatly respect the afghanistan military soilders (the ones who dont turn there guns on each other or americans) they have to fight some of the most ignorant people the world has seen since nazi's
