Nobody chooses to be born white or American or Canadian or Mexican \nWhat makes you proud is only an accident, and you should never belittle the ilegal immigrants because they are brown you don't know the future \nAlso you must never discriminate, because what goes around comes around and you will have to pay for your actions according to God \nThe one that doesn't love you more than a any other brown or yellow person.

The difference between Americans and Canadians: Americans wanted people to know that they're Americans, while Canadians wanted people to know that they're NOT Americans.

Canada is one of the worst places to immigrate to. I’m Canadian. I know what it’s like to live here. Plus I’m indigenous. So I’ve face racism and prejudice. Many think my people gets free handouts. From my experience that’s far from the truth. I’ve left my community for a better education. I was completely alone without parents and my siblings, living with an aunt that used me for another pay check. I couldn’t go to college because I couldn’t afford it, even tho I got accepted into three colleges. Now I’m working a part-time job that forces me to stand on my feet all day. Not many job opportunities are out here unless you’ve gone to college or obtain training. plus the rate for rent is horrendous.

The US is the 4th largest country, China is 3rd. Canadians know geography, Americans don't.

I didn't know that Canadians are like this! Ingat lang ate.

As soon as you use a colour in your speech to describe a person from a certain continent you are suspect in my opinion. \nIf this about getting money for historical past wrongs you are suspect as well. \n I would agree that the Canadian Police have lost their way and are serving a new master. \nI am afraid that this may lead to chaos because hate and anger are powerful emotions \nand would agree that most people do not know who is really making this happen. \nSome would say that the Europeans have conquered this continent with gun, germs and steel.\nWe are going to have to figure out how all of us human beings can live in peace in Canada.

Its funny when they bring up pot and say that it benefits whites when in reality its not. Come to the rez were I live near and you will see so many pot shops but when a white person wants to open one up in the city its a big deal. And the government won't allow them to open up a shop. Its unbelievable how people are so blind to see that the true racism in Canada is not between white or black but between French and English. You get paid more if you know French, its mandatory to learn French in a city that maybe has ten french canadians, look at how much more Quebec gets represented, if Quebec does not like something then it never happens, Quebec can ban people from wearing religious icons that are not catholic yet the government allows this. You may not like it but its true its all about the big cities and Quebec here in Canada.

As a Canadian we are more open to immigtation . There are still laws. I myself am an immigrant. This piece shows one story out of thousands yearly. Without knowing specific details it is tough to judge. I know and have met quite a few refugees that have gained legal status within the past few years. We are not perfect by any means but the government does a good job, in my opinion. There must still be a vetting process. I hope this family has found stability

Hi igor i received an agreement letter from canadian immigration so how will i know its legit ....then the letter says that i apply for visa myself but ticket they will send me so how will its legit thanks kindly assist Bro.

I don't really understand one of experiences during my visit in Canada, I am a HongKonger and one time when I was visiting Toronto, some people with different ethnic background made a comment on my English, they said my English was good. But the fact that there are tons of Chinese/Hong Kong looking people living Toronto who speak perfect English or better than me. I really don't get this, those people who made comment are Indian, Russian, even Canadian born Chinese, they didn't even know I was just a visitor. I don't know much about the standard/definition of racism in Canada, is this incidence considered some kind of racism/stereotype? I am humbly asking for your perspectives on this.

Hoping that a Canadian can help me here ??\n\nDoes anyone know of a good immigration consultant I could speak too? I plan on moving to Canada, but I have no idea where to start or what I qualify for ?

Oh My Canada \nI know that there is a few bad apple but the Rest of Canadians Are Good And Caring # Proud to be a Canadian\nPple

It’s crazy how I learn from the comments how racist Canadians are. I would never imagine that. So sad, you have to know this guys reality is very different from yours. You are like trump supporters with ur hurtful comments. Be kind to people who are struggling to survive. How many are they that don’t want to work. He wants

Its so important for Canadians to know racism exists here because these so subtle yet so consequential differences are caused by us, the people. I think its impossible not to have bias everyone has a preconceived notion they evaluate others with, but to act upon that first notion without knowing the person, thats wrong.

I personally know one of the fake Bangladeshi Canadian immigration attorney ( so called Barrister), he’s commenting human trafficking from USA to Canada his name is Delowar Hossain. His cell#437-220-1502, he’s taking illegal people from N Y state entering them in the Canada ?? and taking $20k-30k. Please catch him,

.. How did Dr Theresa Tam vote on Jan 23 2020 at the WHO meeting to deciding if a World Health emergency should be declared? Did she vote for or against declaring an emergency? .. This is what the Canadian public needs to know.

Hi there! I'm from Russia and I study at the Russian Academy Of National Economy and Public Administration. I'll get a law education but I know that one is useless for Canadian employers and I will not be able to use it in Canada. What should I do in that case? Can I pretend to work in areas somehow adjacent to this? What do you think? I'm improving my english and I decided to pass IELTS exam after my graduation. (Now I'm 18 years old)

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.

The first time i travelled across Canada on a road trip, heading west, going town to town along the TransCanada Hiway, i choose a black friend to accompany me. I choose him because he was really easy to get along with and i knew he was an auto mechanics enthusiast, which, as it turned out came in handy on the trip. We were on the road for a few months. I grew up in a city in a little multicultural bubble of liberalism and was taught as a child not to judge others based on skin colour or sex; to be respectful towards people of all ilks and ethnicities. The thing is, i was young enough to not really realize that i was in a bubble. As we travelled though parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta, where there are few to no blacks in many towns, i began to realize that Canada is quite racist in the outback and little towns mid country. I was surprised and actually angered by it. My friend took it in stride however. For example, i was meeting people, getting invited home for dinner and meet the wife and kids sort of thing, and my friend couldn't even get a conversation going with most people, they just totally ignored him and gave him a wide berth. I know underlying all of that is just the fear of an unknown quantity and the fact that a lot of Canadians watch American news sometimes which tends to be chock full of black in gang wars, shooting each other and committing violent crime so they get a false view of black culture because the news at that time rarely showed blacks unless they were committing a crime.

Drew Forgot something Canada is beter xD true know why i said that cause me canadian xD LOLOLOL

Hey Drew, great video, I can't comment on the US side but since I'm Canadian, here is a few things I could clarify:\n1. Football isn't really big in Canada, some people watch it but it's not really popular. Soccer isn't big either but more people follow it.\n2. While Canada has a few political parties, it's essentially a 2 party, plus system. Where only the two major parties are ever in power, and a few extra ones are just there.\n3. From what I know tipping is big in Canada but a bit less then in the US, in most restaurants it's acceptable to tip 13%\n\nOverall great video, stay safe!\nChag sameach

You missed one similarity that both have dollars in their currencies, wtf i am not even american or canadian still i know

The big difference in sport are that the Canadians know what ist the geeatest sport of the universe..HOCKEY. the us should play and push much more hockey as they do.

Visit small towns then you’ll know what canadian racism looks like.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO SET UP A HOUSE HOLD CAN I HAVE $50.000 I KNOW OF A HOUSE FOR SALE OH CRAP I'M CANADIAN ONLY PRIVILEGE IS TO RENT OR LIVE ON STREET MOST CANADIANS ARE HOMELESS RENTERS SUPPORTING THEIR PURCHASE.

And now you know Trudeau’s intentions. He is destroying Canada, and knowingly putting Canadians safety at risk.

The Canadian government has a Youtube Immigration Channel. I sub to it just to watch and see what kind of content they are putting on there. Today's video is about the borders being closed, I asked in the comment section about Roxham Road if it is open and are they scanning for viruses and vetting. Click on the link and see their answer... I use a VPN and set it to Los Angeles so they wouldn't know I was in Canada.\nhttps://youtu.be/qEOa4q_81A0 \nGood god, we are all in trouble, this fiasco needs to be shut down immediately.

Trudeau's orders? He's following Canadian law, but hey the Rebel's dirtbag reporters know that right?

The REASON Im COMMENTING about this POST is the BLACK CANADIAN COMMUNITIES of MONTREAL and TORONTO iin FRENCH- QUEBEC CANADA is a COMBINED COMMUNITY. Not ONLY are BLACK WHOM came there on the'UNDERGROUND RAILROAD : from the SOUTH of AMERICA , there are BLACKS there WHOM IMMAGRATED there from CARRABBIN NATION if SOUTH AMERICA which GIVES it a VERY DISTITIVE and DEVERSE PLACE to LIVE .For not only is the MONTEAL - TORONTO JAZZ FESTIVAL WORLD RENOWN , it's CARNIVAL which HELD YEARLY is also WORLD RENOWN to those WHOM know .

And why is Canadian government taking so much refugees from Africa and middle east if they know that many Canadian are racists towards blacks and Asians, racists people are just ignorance and they don’t want to accept their denial of the racists. Example I didn’t know that there’s different between humans and we are all humans but not kind of aliens from somewhere, as human being we should have just live together and treat people like we treated ourselves rather than hating others because of their skin color. Am African man and here in Africa we don’t have such things as black or white but we are all humans and we all believe that all humans are equal and it doesn’t matter whether you’re white or black..

Me being an international student in Montreal some times feel the opposite way people don’t follow me they actually pretend to ignore and talk less bcuz I don’t know French and and I m a brown beard guy lollllll.....but I never mind ...........though 90 percent of Canadians are really polite people at least that I could say after 10 months in this city

What jobs? There\n isn't any work in Canada right now, the Liberal Gov't is chasing away companies, that want to do business here. I know, I've lived here my whole life. Only illegals get in, this is what our Gov't promotes, because they're trying to buy votes, and divide Canadians. You don't want to come to Canada, if you don't like a dictatorship, because that's what our Defacto\n Gov't is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Good luck.

Psychology student here. In the interest of accurate information, I would like to point out some flaws I find with some of the studies in this documentary and question the conclusions reached. I understand that CBC Marketplace are not personality psychologists and therefore cannot be expected to produce the same quality of work as a scientist. However, I think it is worthwhile to think critically about the information in the media that we consume. I am also open to anyone who wants to engage in debating the contents of this documentary.\n\n\nThe following are some notes I took while watching the documentary outlining the individual hypotheses of the studies I think are flawed and descriptions of their respective accompanying errors. \n\n\nThere are three possible research questions, and thereby dependent variables, being answered by the apartment hunting studies.\n1. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \n \n2. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man between Toronto, Montreal, Regina, and Victoria, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could total apartments visited be a confounding variable? (4 in Toronto, 3 in Montreal, Regina, and Victoria) \nb. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \nc. They only showed the black man apartment hunting in some of the trials. I am considering him out of the study for consistency purposes. The first-nations man is the only one who got unfair treatment in the footage of apartment hunting. \n \n3. Possible hypothesis: If male landlords/agents are more discriminatory than female landlords/agents, then the white man and the first-nations man will get different treatment at different Canadian apartments in equally diverse cities. \na. Don’t know all the information about the genders of the landlords/agents, not all the footage is shown, but the ones where they get ripped off are male. The others shown are female. The remaining interactions are not shown.\n\n\nThere are also some factors that may have influenced the racial bias survey and, in my estimation, rendered it scientifically unreliable.\n\n\n1. The bias survey and accompanying tests at the CBC attributed the differences between the studies to unconscious racism. What if it was just due to familiarity with certain racial groups over others? \na. The black participants had no bias between European-American and African Americans, supposedly indicating no racism, while the white and first-nations participants did, supposedly indicating racism. Is it possible that another interpretation of this result is that bias is a function of familiarity: that we are comfortable with the majority demographic in the geographical location we live in, as well as our own kind. Therefore, the black guys are less biased against black people due to being both black and living in a white majority demographic? \nb. The participants took the survey knowing the objectives of the researchers was to study racial discrimination. They might have influenced the answers they gave \nc. Whether the participants agreed with identity politics or not was a confounding factor that was not controlled . You can only be racially unbiased biased if you think that racial identity is a means of accurately viewing the world. People who do not believe in the existence of identity politics may answer the questions quite differently, which could be a different reason for the results.\nd. I took the study myself. The words that participants were required to match were a mix of adjectives and nouns. It is known within psychology that nouns have higher levels of imagery. This was not properly controlled and therefore is another confounding variable. \n \nAll the other studies looked fine to me. I welcome any discussion on my observations.

Sorry times up you need to go good job immigration canada she was more than aware not like it was a year over due years and she old enough to know it was illegal but yet she gets canadian money noway sorry do it the proper way like everyone else .whats good for the goose is good for the gander

They know we won't keep allowing our politicians to sell us out and they think Canadians are just as gullible as our leftist liberals are ! Surprise they aren't idiots either!

I'm a Eastern European and I want to say wake up canada! Islam is a barbaric cult. They destroyed the paris and other parts of Western Europe. If the canadians doesn't wake up, their country will turn into a third world. Islam should stay in the middle east forever. They are ok if they are a minority but if they become the majority, sharia law will follows. There's no peace in many muslim countries that's why they wanted to go in a christian majority country and we know Christian countries are much more peaceful than most of the islamic countries.\n\nIf welcomed the third world then you will become the third world!

LOL Am Canadian born and raised here LOL ?????? That don't make you Canadian true Canadians are Natives so there is no need to be racist towards anyone we are all human beings and we all deserve respect if you lady don't know the history that is your problem but the guy on Video is right we are all equal and we all pay taxes ??????

I learned something new today from watching this documentary, the fact that they actually named a town & a park Africville in the great white north. Some people are naive while others are not when it comes to racism. The very fact of the world has been conquered & dominated with the white supremacy mentality leave very little to be surprise that Canada had slaves. I think from what I've come to understands is that having slavery for 250 yrs most white Canadians will pretend to not be racist, but it's like those two kids in your class the one who had the paper thrown at him & the one who did it doesn't act like he did anything & the rest are just as bad because they saw who did it but are complicit by not saying anything. No one wants to be the rat, but at the same time they all know why the one kid that threw the paper did it & the one that had it done to them knows exactly why.

I think the reason why they didn't took Sunny's Canadian citizenship is because is against the law to make someone stateless. Maybe he only has Canadian citizenship because China doesn't allow to have dual citizenship.... I don't know... just an idea

Cleverly this videos talks about "how much" and not "how many" refugees get Social Assistance, then uses Vietnamese legal immigrants (the hardest working people in Canada) as an example of how quickly they become self-supporting. The truth about refugees aftermath is that, the large majority of refugees in Canada coming originally from third world countries, live on Social Assistance for several years, some for life, knowing that the Canadian government will provide for them anything they need (Ironically there are very few statistics on this matter and no statistics at all since 2015, when the current government was elected).

Well if you want to live in the West denounce Jihad tell thos Canadians who you are individually so they know where you stand.

Mississauga is now Muslimssauga, refugees and asylum seekers cheats Canada and once they get Canadian passport they go back to Syria or Iraq for holidays then they don't face precautions or life threats. Or they will keep there family with 4 or 5 kids on welfare and husband goes to middle East to get high paid salary as they have Canadian passport. We pay hard earned money as tax and these people enjoy shisha at square one. Don't know when the Canadian law makers will understand the loopholes in Canadian refugee and asylum policy. Once they increase in population they will demand for Sharia law which is in their blood.

There is no place for hate in society. Totally condemn. He is a Sikh not a Muslim. How can he not know any basic stuff like that. That being said Islamophobia should be defined correctly. Fear of Islam is different and hatred towards Muslims as persons is different. Fear of Islam is a rational fear not a phobia to have if you are a Canadian citizen. If Christianity spreads like the way Islam is spreading in Saudi Arabia or other Islamic nations, then Muslims will be scared and they have the right to fear. So don't label it as a racist if someone condemns Islam as ideology. If they hate Muslims and bully them show them their place and expose them.

A refugee here. Through my job as an engineer, I'm probably giving back more than what half Canadian born do. Many Canadians just live off of interest in money they inhereted while we work to uplift the economy. Refugees would still rather go back to their countries as soon as the war is over. We're not here to steal your money or anything. I bet the guys with negative comments never had to know a refugee in person. Shame.

i live in Canada and the men that came here to have a better life treat Canadian women like there dirt as we they see how the women here wear shorts ect... and they spit on the sidewalk as my friend walks by yes my friend as they all live in low cost housing which i know families wait years to get low cost housing and they were welcome with a home asap!

Didn’t know Canadians were proud to be Canadian. ????

I am sorry but You are absolutely wrong.May be its your personal experience but just remember you convey this message to 964,068 people, it means you have to talk about general experience of International Students. Don't demotivate to innocent new comers. I am also in Canada since 2018. As you said about job troubles but you should know about Canadian rules and regulations for work and how conscious they are for any workers.

THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT IS RACIAL BATING...VERY SAD TRUDEU \nWHY IN MY LOVED COUNTRY YOU PLAY THE PLOITICS FOR VOTES...\nWE LOVE ALL HUMAN BEINGS AND CBC YOU NEED TO BE ASHAMED!!!\nMy daughter is Indonesian and my wife is Thai...
