Me being Armenian in Canada there are only 143k Armenians in Canada I moved here with my parents when I was 10 I knew English so I was ok when I got here but I was continuously isolated because I am from the Caucasus formerly a part of the Ussr so the culture in Armenia is completely different than Canada I don't hate Canada but I don't feel like a Canadian Eastern Europe and The Caucasus feel like home....??❤??but the weather here is just like In the mountains cold except Armenia is humid and hot so I much rather finish my education here and go to East Europe I have many connections in Russia and Switzerland my Half sister is living in Switzerland so I have many places to go and fit in.

Let’s just say uk raised a good boy while the other is good to their mommy and daddy (uk and France) but bad to other countries like Russia and China and bullies the Middle East non stop

It's so funny for international media, Canada - Toronto .. there is so much more to Canada then just Toronto ! .. Ohh yeah you will say Montreal but still Toronto and Montreal is only 10% Canada ... If you want to see real beautiful Canada go west to places like Vancouver, Banff Calgary,. Whistler .. beautiful serene mountains and wilderness or even far east to the Maritimes .. Toronto is nothing but a flat concrete jungle !!!!

Instead of correcting things in ur own country u r blabbering about others achievement. How west violated and manipulated east to pile up such wealth is a question u need to find answers. One day our country will prosper and even if it doesn’t we sink in our own waters.

Hello sir, i m an electrical engineer with around 12 years of postgraduate experience across middle east and Pakistan and i really really want to move to Canada with my family. could you please let me know where to start, is it okay to pay money to immigration consultants for that purpose. need your sincere advice please

The East India Company mostly consisted of British Troops whose Job was to Attack, Occupy & Loot wealth of different countries in the world. \nThat looted and Plundered wealth was then transferred to Great Britain (UK) so that these British army and Civil servants could spend the rest of their lives in total Luxury and Pleasure in the UK, on this Plundered Wealth from poor countries. \n\nBefore independence, Whenever the People of occupied countries, for example in India tried to protest against the occupying British Army , this British Army would Recruit the local people in the army and would use these same local people in attacking, suppressing and killing their poor country men. \n\nAn example is the massacre of Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, on 13th April 1919 , where the hindu, sikh and muslim soldiers recruited by the British Army , opened machine gun fire on protestors who were unarmed Women, childrens and men. and killed Thousands of them in cold blood. \n\nAnother example is the Babra Massacre which occured in Charsaddah KPK, Pakistan, on 12 August 1948, when the Pak army soldiers recruited by the British Army, opened fire on unarmed protestors and killed thousands of their innocent fellow muslims. \n\nAfter independence the Looting, oppression, killing and corrupt practices of British Army were adopted by Pak Army who mercilessly oppressed, killed and looted the poor Pakistani Nation. \n\nInstead of waging Jihad on their own, the Pakistani army sent Childrens of poor parents to Madrassahs and converted them into mujahiden and taliban, and sent them to fight in Afghanistan and Kashmir. \nWhile the army was itself busy in occupying lands and plots in Pakistan. \nFor american dollars then this army bombed, killed and Handed over innocent Pakistanis to American guantanomo bay. \n\nWhen india removed article 370, then this army got so afraid that it didn’t do anything against india and even couldn’t send the mujahiden and Taliban to fight india. Instead they agreed to everything india said. \n\nAfter retirement almost every High ranking officer of Pakistan army goes abroad to USA, UK & Australia and enjoy life on the money looted from poor people of Pakistan. While the poor people of Pakistan have been handed over to a False Khalifah called imran niazi who has sucked the remaining blood and eaten the bones of poor Pakistanis. \nWhile the Pakistani Nation is asleep in their homes , living miserable lives and waiting for their miserable death, and do nothing against this oppression and inflation

NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY EAST ASIAN COUNTRIES DOESN'T ACCEPT REFUGEES FROM MIDDLE EAST? GOOD FOR THEM.❤️

I hate the pointless wars that have killed hundreds of thousands in multiple countries in the Middle East. Bush and Blair should be in jail.\nBUT The liars who sold us the Iraq war weren’t wrong when they said, ‘They hate our freedom’

You are talking about east London \nI am scared for your country \nOla hu uber ?

White man threaten South east Asian of decapitation. In my place we use to have head hunting as a hobby.

in vancouver we had two days of snow last winter. its great on the coast. as you go east it gets bad

I live in Vancouver and I believe I was experiencing racism while looking for a placed to live. I was asked over the phone If I was Chinese, I said no and the person said that's what they were looking for. Or when I went to look at a suite and the person was east Indian and they ghosted me after seeing what I look like which happened a few times. This makes it hard to find a place to live in Vancouver considering the high population of Asian home owners. I think it may have been different while looking for apartments. This can happen to white people as well especially in a diverse city.

This comment section is gross. I understand the anti-islamic sentiment in western countries, but I don't support it. I see comments about how people flee from muslim countries, but this is not because of their religion. There is a shortage of resources in these countries that leads to war and terrorism. The vast majority of muslims are good people, and America and Canada have plenty of space for families fleeing the middle east. Gross comments on this video...

Wow North America doesn't even know all of Asia is more powerful than them! Like literally they relay on middle east oil.

well, why is it only whites that are singled out for racism? i bet if the darker skin boys both pulled up in a hot new range rover they both be treated differently. now iv been in places of nonwhites and i was taken advantage of and looked at like i was not welcome at all from the Chinese communities and east Indians in Vancouver. hide a camera on those situations CBC

You can't move to a country and want everything your way because of your culture. I'm mixed and don't think it's fair that people are being pushed around because the choices they make. England isn't a country from the Middle East and people who immigrate here need to accept it or go back!

I am a dark skinned Indian living in Germany. Trust me, the most racist ones here are immigrants from Arabia, Africa and East Europe. My experiences with them are a real horror. Germans are far more nicer and classier people. Its unfair that whites alone get blamed for racism as if other ethnicities are innocent

This is a pile of bollocks. East London is STILL a working class BRITISH community. Both myself and 42 Army Veterans are on alert to deal with anything wrong in OUR community. We have not had a single call or text as we speak.

now they asked you to impose these laws in the future they will kill you to impose it just look to isis in the middel east

Canada has to reduce the amount of people from the middle east coming in. They don't even respect this country

I realized... it is extremely difficult for us South East Asian to even get into Canada, be in for PR, Citizenship or Tourists. But it is very easy for CHINESE. Interesting or INTERE$TING. Then Us, with yellow skin get a bad rep! Well, as you can see from the comments, some attack skin rather than nationality.

I’m south East Asian would I get bullied in school ?

This was 7 years ago. I wonder what it's like now? Do I need to hire a camel when travelling in East Londonistan?

Stupid ur area id in thr middle east

East London belongs to Muslims period.

Want to see discrimination and racism come to Brampton ,where the same people who complains about racism are the same ones posting racist ad. Such as you have to East Indian, you can’t be a smoker, no pets, No blacks, a matter of fact if you’re not Indian I will not rent my property to you... Explain that to me huh ? How can you scream racism when it’s a daily practice here in Brampton mostly by Indians.

Im a Muslim Canadian, and this is my home. A phobia is an irrational fear, so tell me what have the Muslims in Toronto done to you guys to deserve this kind of hate? Dont talk to me about the war torn nations of MIddle East, talk to me about the Muslims of Toronto!

If you want to practice Sharia law what are they go back to the Middle East where they can practice it if somebody is Catholic Presbyterian are Baptists or Mormon they don't want to hear this stuff

I don't know why many Western people think that everyone from East Asia and Southeast Asia are Chinese. there are many other countries in there besides china

There are also fake refugee scams, many people from China, USA, Africa, Middle East are not real refugees, they have decent lives in their own countries, however, they can't immigrate through legal ways, either they are too old or they don't have enough work experiences or educations, they cheated and they claimed that they are refugees. They are not real refugees, CANADA, PLEASE DO NOT GET CHEATED EASILY !

The system is cheater to this day . Look at the real state market. \nCanadian citizens are unable to buy houses because of the spring prices , and the high prices are due to student boarding housing . The city I live has been over run buy East Indian students and these rich big city East Indians are buying the housing market up then renting each room for $600 a month but but also have people sleeping on floors with about 10-15 people living in each home. \n\nWhy isn't the government fixing this ?

Is it only me who hears it\nRegina\nsorry for being childish??\nI take race serious though am east African\nAnd feel so bad when I see how the world treats our distant cousins\nI wish black people would come back and we grow together being treated like any human being should be treated

Try moving to the Middle East and see how they treat anyone who’s not Muslim.

My only question about these tests, is how large were the sample pools? And one other thing to note, is that compared to almost every other nation on earth, Canada has next to no racism (i believe we are actually the best on earth when it comes to that). I'm white and have traveled to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America, and have experienced racism in every one of those continents. By a large portion of the people I interacted with. I also find that most racism that I have seen or experienced stems from 2 places. One culture and the second a lack of experience in interacting with other races.

He’s dressed like he from the east coast lol

Moving from ?? east coast to Alberta ??, it has rarely occurred to me that Canadians are really nicer.... Actually Edmonton is the first city where I heard both the N word and homophobic tirade. It also has a large share of rude drivers

Half the staff I work with are East Indian and are great to work with and everyone gets along but I was wondering if they did this same experiment in Saudi Arabia, Iran or Syria what the results would be using a white North American. I don't think it would go well.

LEGALIZE ABORTION IN LATIN AMERICA, MIDDLE EAST and AFRICA. WAKE UP and stop having so many babies ! They are expensive!!!!!! Also SWIFT DEATH PENALTY FOR MURDERERS

He is crazy , put him to 1000 queen St east Toronto

Note the historic atrocities that took place (and I agree that they were atrocities) are taking place right now in the Middle East and Subsaharan Africa. All the outrage drones with their iPhones containing Cobalt mined by child slaves in the DRC need a reality check.

I’m brown and I completely agree that racism is bad in Canada. I have heard n-words towards black people with the hard r, racism towards me, east asians, etc. High school was hell for me and the blatant racism continues with various friends and family. It was always overlooked and Ive been followed and pulled over by RCMP for no reason. RACISM EXISTS IN CANADA AND I LIVED WITH IT MY WHOLE LIFE AND IM ONLY IN MY EARLY 20S\nStats back it up as well. Indigenous and black people overrepresented in prison
