What I have noticed all my life living in Canada is Caucasians don't like hearing the truth about anything where they are feel they are being made to look like the villain, but the objective is not to make anyone feel like they're on trial but to start acknowledging that this is going on regardless of if you've ever experienced/seen it or not. The reason Caucasians don't see it is because of what they call White Privilege. Caucasians will never have to deal with the subtleties of racism that minorities face everyday because they will never be treated that way even in other countries they visit or live. Many Caucasians aren't aware that stereotyping is racism as you will notice them say the weirdest things and make really weird assumptions like calling a Korean woman Chinese or mistaking a Hindu or Sikh for someone Islamic, which you should never do. Cultural insensitivity happens here because many Caucasians don't care much to learn about another culture and because of this there's it's creating even more issues. The race problem is Canada is huge and people are trying to say that it isn't but in the coming years more and more evidence is going to come out to the point where it will be irrefutable and there will either be a reform or civil war.

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

You don’t see racism often in Canada since it’s so diverse but if someone’s racism it’s something wrong is going on

Systematic racism in Canada is the same as Covid-19 here in small portions but no where near as bad as the government makes it out to be it is being used as a political tool to gain advantage same as Covid-19 as Canadians we need to stop listening to social media and the media and the politicians we need to treat each other with respect regardless until they give a reason not to when I meet people I see people and I treat them with respect until they give me a reason not to politicians are poison the media is poison and THEY ARE DIVIDING CANADA

The facts surrounding cannabis sales (demographic, buys) in Canada after it was legalized should be the most damning statistic there is. How does the RCMP justify their historical arrest rate of black and Indigenous people for cannabis possession when you see the actual demographic and customer base for cannabis.

QUESTION POSED TO ALL WHO SEE FOR POLING PURPOSES: DO WE HAVE THE INDIGENOUS ACT OF CANADA OR THE INDIAN ACT? OH BY THE WAY WE,TREATY MEMBERS, ARE STILL SUBJECTS TO THE CROWN. ARE CAUCASIAN CANADIANS SUBJECTS OF THE CROWN? OF COURSE NOT, WE ONLY REFER TO WHITE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY AS CANADIANS ITS IMPLIED AND UNDERSTOOD BUT HEY LETS PUT OTHER ETHNICITIES BEFORE CANADIAN SUCH NATIVE CANADIAN , AFRICAN CANADIAN JAPANESE CANADIANS

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.

The sad thing is that I wanted to move to Canada thinking that things is different. Am I surprised to see that things isn’t......HELL NO!!

Canada is full of racism and that’s a fact. There is not much of the difference with the States either. Only difference is that Canada’s racism comes in the form institutional and systemic racism. The states have a way bigger platform than Canada so their situations regarding racism will be covered more than Canada’s and also Canada hides behind the “it’s such a diverse country” statement to diverge from the issue of racism. Ask yourself this- Which country do you see a wider diverse representation of, concerning the people in power? In Toronto we just had our first black police chief(which was a big thing here) a few years back while in the States they’ve been having people of colour and many minorities in power. Representation of different ethnic backgrounds is an issue here but nevertheless the states still have a long way to go with racism. I love Canada so much but there is absolutely racism that this country will not bother to even acknowledge

the most racist part of Canada is Media and education. you don't see 1 minute a week a program for immigrants or even native Indians on any radio or TV of 99% of Canadian cities.\nonly recently in Toronto there is this kind of program.

Canada will have a lot of gangs you will see

If the cultures that feel discriminated against would behave in a civilized manner then maybe they wouldn't get the rxn they do - stats always tell the true story. Ppl are afraid & extra cautious b/c what they see is a barrage of terrorism & destruction that is so synonymous w/ some cultures. Therefore I don't consider racism to be a huge problem in Canada. I see it more as a self-protective measure. Stop inciting a load of lies based on a few incidents.

after seeing this video i think canada is realy open minded. if you wanna face rascism go to other parts of the world.

Canada has sold it's native culture out for the third world. Sad to see Christian and European culutre being dryed out from Canada. This will only get worse in the years to come.

Canada and u.s the most similar country in the world? Wait whattt ????\nCanadians don't like guns the mentalities and the culture are totally different between these 2 country \n\nBrazil and Portugal are the most similar country in the world my friend\nSame culture and same way we see life.. the only differences is the accents, brazil have samba and portugal have fado, the traditional food in brazil it's feijouada and in portugal it's bacalhão.. Brasil ?? Portugal ?? Vamos Caralho!!!!

Islam will take over your contry and than you'll miss all the western freedom you had. Act before it's too late. Don't let you country get taken over by them. Canada has so many Sikhs but I don't see them changing the western way or the way of thier host country. Why is it only Islam creating problems everywhere

Well it’s completely not a Rase’s at all for example I am from Fiji I never seen any one covering they face in my life but I have seen women’s covered they face in Canada wow for me it is very scary and i get panning I am very honest I am very nervous to see any one covers they face at all this is my biggerest problem ever looks like a Devil is attacking me it’s so much sceary never want to hurt any one this is reality and I also very sceard to see people with big Beard I am very soft heart person

I am a powerful woman raised by my grandparents and my parents in an amazing family. I identify myself as a woman of colour, amazing colour, it embraces me and reflects back my beauty for all around me to see. We were given every opportunity to explore the world where we lived and had passion for reading books, I was encouraged to explore so much of the world and ideologies. Issues of racism existed around me and this was unquestionable, but we had a safe place in a family with committed parents to develop and make our mark on the world. How refreshing to explore the world from a safe place and our parents especially my father encouraged us to mix with people of all cultures, because he firmly believed and I also believe there is only one race, the human race. We look different on the outside but let’s enjoy the fact that God made of one flesh all people. So, impressed with my amazing grandparents and parents... I love myself and I love the world that we live in, even though everyone is not perfect, we are are amazing. I was born in Jamaica, raised in England, UK, and now live in Canada.

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. ??❤️??

Waaaaaaiitttt a minute on pizza, canada HAVE the BEST pizza in the whole world go see on google , write best pizza in the world

Actually US is not a democracy, but a republic. And Canada is a parliamentary democracy. Taxes are higher in Canada than the US, and also, wait time to see a specialist and operation is longer in Canada on average. However, don't get me wrong, I do love Canada. Victoria, BC is one of the FAVORITE places I have ever been. And I do love Hockey as well.

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

Canada has always seemed to me to be a lot of the same of what's here in America. And from the pictures I've seeing it looks a lot like any town in the US. Make their big cities look similar to the big cities we have here in America.

I see, he compares USA to Canada but USA to the whole of Europe??!!\n\n\n\n\n*angry European noises*

I didn't see the part where they said canada has free education

There’s really only 3 big cities in Canada, Toronto Montreal and Vancouver. Which are completely different than all of Canada. Toronto is very similar to London England. Whereas Montreal is really similar to Paris. Not so much in architecture, but in terms of people, life, style, slang. Lots of people in Toronto listen to toronto artist and UK artist as well whereas Montreal residents listen to their Montreal artist and French artist from France. Most of the similarities here are actually not like any American cities. America to us seems really “white” there’s not lot of diversity there either. Toronto is so diverse, People from literally everywhere its so nice to see. Our Prime Minister also a lot better looool

Because of less pollution \nPeople can see Canada right here from Punjab, India.

Tim Hortons is in Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. So I don't think seeing one ensures you're in Canada ;) Cool vid tho.

There’s a common saying which states that the difference between Canadians and Americans is that “while Americans side with their fellow citizens against the government, Canadians side with their government against their fellow citizens.” This is stereotype is the best explanation as to why Canada can’t see to develop a viable market economy or compete with other nations on innovations in STEM or the arts. The problem with Canada is that it never developed a culture outside of “not being American” and the result is that their government has been allowed to grow to an enormous size and basically strangle all of the talent out of the country. Canada, despite the fact that it’s an English speaking country on the North American continent, is virtually nothing like America is any sense of the term, and actually has more in common with Scandinavia than it does with the country that borders it’s south.

I agree with the video.\n\nBut there’s a lot of Canadians who would go nuts after seeing this video. In their view, the less Canada looks like the USA, the better it is.

I have 5 canadian friends 3friends 2bestfriends welp they’re online and yeah they’re online because I don’t live in Canada tho I do see Canada as a wonderful place and if I were to go anywhere/travel I would only go to Asian places but Canada’s one of the places I’d visit or live in thats not Asian <3 (I’m Chinese)

You should make a travel video about Canada, there so much to see and do here!

Wonderful. \nI’m from Canada. Thanks for posting from Canada. I’ve visited the USA many time and I love. I’ve been to Arizona, sad I didn’t meet you. Stay safe and hope to see many more videos

?? Im from Ontario Canada and have always worked management in retail. I've always taught any employees in any department that if you see anyone lingering for any longer than 5 minutes, black, white, or any race for that matter to ask if they need assistance! Again I don't care the color, race, most people that come into a store have come in and know what they're looking for! When I see a customer looking for longer than 5 mins, it's just common practise to ask if you need help. I'd suggest you's re-think this practise that we all are taught in stores

It’s not a surprise to see this happening in Canada Let’s be honest guys.\nEven I went to Costco, little boy said “ why are you guys shopping here if you are not speaking English now”\nI will Never Ever forget how he made his face to me

EVERYTHING TRUDEAU IS SAYING IS A LIE!!!! There are still planes in the air, one is currently on it's way from China to Canada. They have NOT closed the borders to flights.\nYou can see for yourself at Flightradar24. The skies are FULL of planes, coming from everywhere to everywhere. And WE are being told to stay inside, and home from work, \nwhile Trudeau tries to turn Canada into a fully Communist country.

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.

I’m so sorry for all of you precious people of Canada! You’re our neighbors (the state of Tennessee USA here) and we see you’re having to put up with everything the Democrats want to do to us if they come into power this November. (The only way they could do that is voter fraud, which is exactly what happened in what we call the mid-term elections in November 2018, when some House of Representatives and Senate seats come open in the two-year cycle halfway thru the Presidential elections - that’s how they won the House back) \n\nThat poor displaced family, though. Bless them; officials need to get to the bottom of where they’ve been, where they actually have citizenship, and attend to them properly and GET CANADIANS HOME! President Trump needs to go up there and jerk a knot in Mr. Trudeau’s rear end. (That’s an old country Southern saying; don’t overthink it please!?? We finally have a President who may be a little bristly, but he loves America and Americans and he is working hard for us!)\n\nBut seriously, wish you much success and although I can’t monetarily, our greatest weapon is prayer and my armor is on (Ephesians 6)!!! Keean, you’ve stepped up to the plate because you love Canada and want to do what’s right by her! You’re doing a wonderful job - “absolutely fantastic” as my YouTube friend Mentour pilot would say. So we hope the situation gets resolved quickly, because this virus is taking its toll on everyone in more ways than one, and in ways we’ve not even seen yet and have no way to predict. Keep looking up though! And make sure you belong to Jesus Christ . Amen!

God this documentary is so flawed. The symphony? Really? You are comparing the 50s from today? There were much less immigrants in Canada back then. There were less immigrants and ppl of color that played instruments. And those that did, less of them actually tried out for a symphony. And then the blind resume test totally proved no bias. In fact I think it might be the opposite. I’m American (but I have a horribly foreign name). Americans looking for jobs, I think, eh... another goofball lazy American. But if I see a foreign name, I assume they might be more serious and work harder because of old school family values.

Hello sir m always seeing your videos... Can you help me to migrate Canada

I applaud Cityline for bringing this topic up in Canada!! In the US, we see overt racism every day. Oftentimes, it’s the micro aggressions happening to the people I love that breaks my heart. I’ve seen young people, full of hope, feeling that their lives matter, over time, be shattered by a constant beating of racism.

I visited Canada as a truck driver, and you can see racism in all levels... it's so sad,.... we all are a human beings.....I LOVE YOU ALL.....❤️

Igor all of this information is available online there is nothing I see that you have told your subscribers, getting an employment offer or letter is the most main and toughest part of the Canada Immigration. Yes it is easy but you need to be very clear on what steps are done and the most difficult part is the employment you are saying as if it's a piece of cake. Please be honest and real.

If I ever come to Canada, I will definitely come to Calgary to see you Igor! What a great news about AIPP... Keep doing a great work! Europe sucks:-) Here I come Canada:-)

This message is to Leland Native American I am able making myself and how dare you say that you are jealous of that white man know this is our country it's not there's just because you're in Canada and their Canada know you make sure that you never see that again because no wipers and it's boil is going to be better than us take that to the bank

The way I see it, if you're coming to Canada to work as a cashier or taxi driver, just stay where you are. We don't need you!

I’m American and I won’t see Canada the same way lol

I am really shook right now cause in a long time I've dreamt to go to Canada but seeing this I kinda changed my mind about going to Canada

Asylum from what? Being held accountable for his criminal actions? Ten fucking years and still can't speak english. He avoids being held responsible for his actions in Canada too. Now Canada sees what the US has been dealing with for decades of these people streaming over our border in the millions, and all the problems that they create here. There are limits, and the US has passed them, and signs of the system breaking down under all the weight of illegal aliens. It is going to get very bloody in the end.

I am Living in Ottawa I am white, I lived here my whole life and now I am a minority I deal with different races all the time and I do feel that I am being pushed out of my country different ethnicities treat me with disrespect I was growing up with Canadian culture of respecting everyone around you but I fine with all these different cultures coming in I’m losing my Canadian identity and it is a lot for me to hold strong onto the values as of what the Canadian is and I’m a fourth generation Canadian I see what’s happening to our veterans I visit my grandfather every other week and I see all the different nationalities that are PSW‘s and nurses And I really mean no offence but we have a different level of respect we have a different way of talking and these different nationalities coming in they all click together and some of them they treat the men who built this country with such disrespect please listen to meand I’m really not Trying racially profile this is been happening for the last 15 years and I’m not being silent about it Canada is freedom of speech Canada is being strong enough to speak up I mean this from the bottom of my heart if you’re coming into my country that my grand parents built for me and my children can you please give my children the opportunity that you were now taking from them and I see how they treat our veterans I see how difficult it is for seniors that didn’t have a placement in our homeless I see that all of our government funding is now going to people that are now immigrating into Canada and they’re being able to start up small businesses have four bedroom townhomes in their children to schools and drive them and fancy SUVs can you look around us and see somebody sold Canada
