Rogers has community housing list where you get a low rate based in income but aafter 10 days I have had no communication in spite I'd me trying to call and email a s the us is AFTER THEY took all my info. If this program is so hard send me a proper technician. I will pay full until the community housing pay kicks in. Then you can refund the difference

Sharia law is the best one since it doesn't favour any community or race unlike democracy which is man made and consist of much defaults

I am a Canadian immigrant PR now but I actually lived and studied in Quebec for five years now and has built a connection to the local community. I even learnt French there.... The people who provide fake profile srsly make me mad and feeling unfair.

Hey Muslim here and I do not agree with this what's so ever, If you are a muslim living in the west its not you job to change their society! You wanna teach islam to people you do it on their free will. You wanna live by muslims rules you go live in a muslim majority ruled country. All you're doing is pushing the narrative forcefully which is against EVERYTHING islam stands for, for there is no compulsion in religion. Lived in Canada my whole life and muslims here don't push anything onto our communities and neighobors its pretty simple you wouldn't want anything forcing you so why do it back!

18:30 - reverse the roles... try going to an all black community of stores and repeat this experiment. try getting change for a parking meeter using a 20 dollar bill.\n\nit would be interesting to see the results.

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.

Crazy that people think you can just join a country on a whim. If you don't speak English (or French), aren't making yourself apart of the community and contributing to it, how can you expect to be welcomed?

I do agree. Alcohol tobacco and drugs destroys families and communities.

Canada indeed has systemic racism for sure. It's not same type of country has origin linear ethnicity such as Korea or Japan. It was built on first nation land in better way than USA. If Canada the county needs immigrants to keep the system and economy works, they start sharing major sectors with proper communities that absolutely respect Canada system their daily life rely on. It takes time, but over 100 years of immigrant culture now should take step properly.

As a white person, I stand by our indigenous and black community.

Just because the USA is worse, doesnt mean we are innocent, or have no culpability in the historical oppression and displacement of indigenous communities. Theres so many tropes and slogans about change, but this is devolving into idol worship of vague ideas, without serious and radical reorganization of the system that drags its feet in addressing the inequity that exists. Its not an issue of colour, its an issue of access to opportunity.

A lot of you are quite dense so here’s the definition of systemic racism:\n\nSystemic Racism includes the policies and practices entrenched in established institutions, which result in the exclusion or promotion of designated groups. It differs from overt discrimination in that no individual intent is necessary. (Toronto Mayor's Committee on Community and Race Relations. Race Relations: Myths and Facts)\n\nIt manifests itself in two ways:\n\ninstitutional racism: racial discrimination that derives from individuals carrying out the dictates of others who are prejudiced or of a prejudiced society\nstructural racism: inequalities rooted in the system-wide operation of a society that excludes substantial numbers of members of particular groups from significant participation in major social institutions. (Henry & Tator, 2006, p. 352)

Racism is in every part of world, not only in western countries not only in white guys you found it eastern, African, Middle Eastern, Asian countries everywhere in every community but not in every individual and it's not going anywhere.

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.

No one ever talks about their personal responsibilities to being a honest,contributing member of society. It is such a glass half empty attitude. Where on this planet could you have as much opportunity to create success for yourself and your community than here?

YES to lowering police funding to use in community programs NO to abolishing and Defunding the police.

When are have a Muslim person elected in Calgary. We have a party leader from the Sikh community. Then we call we have systematic racism. Come on. We don't have any kin of these things. Don't fool us with your crap.

This happens both ways and is very real in Canada, but the racism against white community is just as bad if not worse than the other way around. Landlords won't rent to white people especially with kids. Some stores dont hire white people anymore. It's very Sad and it's in our faces but once again no one has the stones to dare say anything about it.

To me the biggest problem of people of African origin is not racism. Infact if you called a child who knows colours very well and ask that child to mention the skin colours of that panel there will be brown, pink and barge. Back to my point, people of African origin have failed to be honest with themselves thats the biggest problem. The biggest problem to solve is the family problem. African men and women majority have failed to raise up responsible children because half of the time they are absent from home. Don't tell me they are absent because they have to look for money to feed children. Let us tell our children to stay away from gangs, be at home latest by 6 pm, start recording high grades at school meaning they will be spending much time with books, wait to have sex until they are legally married, start opening businesses and build corporations like Indians and Chinese do. Then this racism issue will just disappear on its own. As long as people of African origin continue to possess the mentality that other races owe them a good life, the problem of racism won't end. I live in Africa and am an African but I see my brothers and sisters North America or Europe majority live very careless lives. Yesterday I was listening to BBC news a chief police officer of African Origin saying on average there were about 65,000 murders within the African Americans community annually. Where is racism in all this. Can't we be ashamed of ourselves. When last did you hear of such statistics in Asian communities in America or Europe. I agreed with Prime Minister about systematic racism but in my view thats not a priority for the African communities. Number 1 is raise responsible children and not weapon fleaks. Number 2 raise responsible children. Number 3 raise a responsible family then we can sincerely address this racism issue because if there are no trouble makers from our homes but only graduates, business owners, responsible youths who do not abuse substances then if we are treated unfairly it can be vividly seen that someone is discriminating against our race.

Media doing a great job in making this generation stupid and hateful community (brain washed) ... Well done... You are doing great job to community!

Canada is NO different than the states. I live in BC and if Donald Trump came to my town, he would get the warmest welcome he ever had. Everybody here thinks he is the second coming of christ. My Canadian community is all about racism. No protests going on around here. Everyone here sez lock up the protesters. I hate this place.

London Muslim Community petrol forces should be follow Muslim community petrol in New York America. They should be more developed by logistically and equipment wise.

Some of the incidents related to the George Lloyd protest seem to emphasize the perception that some community simply took advantage of the situation e.g. stealing of TVs from the containers on board a train! Such behaviour tend to re-emphasize the perception of the people seen in this light. !

I’m a white guy that only speaks English. In Montreal the minority community treated me warmly. Giving extra food at restaurants, etc. In this case skin colour didn’t matter. Only that I fit into the minority.

Hi Drew. Very good info. I’m American and have visited Canada more than 6 times. All the information is correct to my understanding. Happy Passover to our Jewish community.

What do you expect when ya throw 20,000 ppl into a small community that’s hasn’t changed in 60 years

I understand the concept of terrorism people want to blame others. But if you are being targeted for that. Just adapt and preach your religion in you community until they are educated.

shunning in order to protect yourself from unscrupulous individuals, has been in place for centuries and media would be more advantagious to the community, to point out the dysfunctional handling of court cases of the complaining individuals, bringing no justice to the canadian tax paying citizen, you should not penalize a tax paying citizen from protecting his worldly goods, and income! IN MY OPINION!

This happens all around the world, in the USA the Cubans are well known within Hispanic community that they (Cubans) once they get the LPR (Green Card) they leave the US and go back to Cuba for more time the immigration law allows to be out of the country as a LPR (six months) meanwhile they claim SSA without have a real presence in the country, without work record, then relatives get the welfare benefits (money) and send it to Cuba this way this well educated citizens pay their expenses without working also happens with South Americans.\nThis is a real problem that it looks like the government do nothing to fix it.

Other religious communities don't bother others this just proves that Islam and western society can't live in peace

The peaceful community should only be allowed to live in their official 57 Islamic countries only. They cannot adjust to any other religion, culture or civilization. The whole world is fed up of the peaceful community. Let them live with proper sharia law in their 57 Islamic countries & play jihad jihad amongst themselves. Let the rest of the non Islamic countries live in peace without any peacefuls in their country

mashallah, the sikh community has a lot for us to learn

The bravery showed by this sikh man is commendable. He is a real hero! \nI heard after this some Indians talked crap about sikh community. \nPeace be on all humanity!

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.

That is so racist and ignorant she has no respect for south Asian community some people are rude disrespectful and racist she didn't said sorry when someone is being racist in a bus or train people always watch the scene staring don't get me wrong

VICTORIA, BC IS OBVIOUSLY AN INTELLIGENT, PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY COMPARED TO THE OTHERS.\nFRANKLY.. AND I KNOW THIS IS GONNA PISS-OFF FOLKS.. BUT IF SOMEONE IS HIDING THEIR IDENTITY, OSTENSIBLY PANDERING MONEY FOR/AND ALL THE WHILE REPRESENTING A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLES HAVING A GLOBAL MONIKER OF VIOLENT RELIGIOUS FANATICISM, ONE CANNOT BLAME THE RESPONSES OF PASSERS BY.

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!

Would be very interesting to test racial bias, especially in relation to China, now that covid-19 has a hold on communities worldwide

Your wear hijab , nakab beacuse your community muslims looks other mulims women in lust they know there muslims fellow

Yes, peace of Britishers have been broken by this community. Too much liberal ideology of British people is solely responsible for this catastrophe. Admit or not, Islam has spread everywhere in UK. Now, Bin Laden and Al Bagdadi will be found outside middle east. British students will love to study in madrasas.

The only people responsible for Anti Muslim sentiment.... Are the Muslims themselves, with their intolerance, hatred for all other religions and communities and the way they constantly try to dominate everybody and force their faith down everyone's throat.

They are on their way to live right next to you. Not integrating but to form their own little community. Eventually you will feel like the immigrant and move elsewhere. Soon they will follow. Displacement on a global scale

The world still do not understand how cunning and shrewd muslims are. They will use your laws to takeover you and then implement their laws to deny you any rights. Govts will not help you, don't wait for world leaders to act, they can't. As individuals we need to stop respecting a community which is filled with hate towards others. Stop cooperating and dealing with muslims, boycott them at every level. Believe me you may die in a free country, but your future generations will live under islamic rule.

Arrest them now while the group is small. Actually the Muslim community should take care of the problem within. Its obvious harrassment against the public

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 .

Why can't we all just live normal lives?\nI don't support the LGBTQ communities but that doesn't give me the right to discriminate them.\nI don't believe in the ideologies of Christianity but that doesn't mean I have the right to discriminate them.\nI don't believe in white supremacy but that doesn't give me the right to discriminate them.

any comment to chinese community in uk？do u feel sick of them

They are fastest growing community because they produce 5 or more children each ,

Answer to the question:\n1) is one community suffering in all the countries through out the world...\n2) is the whole world, suffering due to one peaceful community..

Its dangerous. I am from a muslim community, but I am not a islamic believer. We usually wear doti to outside and will fold it above knee. I am from kerala. When i was studying in hyderabad. When i went outside with doti folding above knee. Some people wearing skull cap called me and asked me to unfold the doti and cover lower part of leg and they was very angry. After that they asked me my name. When i told my name is fasal rahman, they asked me that why brother dont cover 'ourath'. They told that they thought i am a tamil hindu. I replied them that we malayalis usually wear like this. There is no difference between hindu muslim or christian. The thing is that when shariat started to rule us. It will degrade the freedom and liberty of people. And moreover muslims have many views on shariat. Its age old thing and is based on semantic laws and principles.
