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 can't take this.. I haven't heard any one at my work which is very multicultural ever say they face racism. As far as the world and I am concerned Canadians are welcoming and poilte

Everyone is welcome in ??

Welcome to Alberta

Beware of 28 year old racist and bully Riley Dodd. You are not welcome in Canada!

I live in Toronto Canada, biggest city in Canada that have the most mix nationalities, All my neighbors are welcome in my home.

GOOD LUCK UK, REAL BRITS AND IRISH PEOPLE ARE WELCOME IN POLAND!

Honestly, what did he think. It is not easy when you have no education to come and get accepted. Plus her chose Alberta when there was way better choices. For example, Montreal and Toronto are better to immigrants. There is reason why is difficult also. If Canada was to accept everybody,it may not be as safe as it is now. Canada does not welcome everyone. It wants people that can be useful to society because ppl pay a lot of taxes for services and paying for someone that can’t be helpful can be frustrating for tax payers

Most of you guys are something: Canada LIVES of immigrant work force. All of You are just that, immigrants, from an immigrant family!! And yet you are so full of hate. In the country of This size there should be 10 times as many people living. But Canadians protect their comfort, their convenience( favorite word), they don't want to share.\nAnd yet you market yourself as a country open to immigrants, welcoming, nice....it is all a fasade .....

welcome to invest and make your dreams in africa

I FEEL THIS, WELCOME TO MY WORLD! I BEEN PROFILE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN! I'M A BLACK MAN I KNOW ANYWHERE I GO I'M GOING TO BE TARGETED, I KNOW MISERY LOVES COMPANY, IT SAD! ✊✌️✊✌️

Why Can’t they speak english? They are not welcome. Economical immigrants are not welcome.

My parents came to Canada as teenagers, and they are non-European immigrants. The kindest and most compassionate people Ive ever met and im not saying that because im their son but because its true, im nothing like them anymore. Being born and raised in Canada I have NEVER felt like this is my home or that I belong/am welcomed here.

she is Islamic every time Islam is present this is what you see Americans put them in office and now they are crying what are we gonna do, Obama set this up he said he was a Christian to hide this takeover we all seen this coming and did nothing and now it is happing you want taxpayers who has non Islamic state reps and non Islamic Governors to help pay to fix your states I hope President Trump says no to all the dem states they have harassed republicans since Hillary lost ran their mouths with hate speech causing division , using terms like white privilege , not realizing how many live below the poverty level ask us how privileged we feel , ask us how we like watching people from Islamic countries sitting the white house as senators state reps or governors , we have seen what happened in other countries that took in all the Islamic refugees from Pakistan , Syria Somalia Ghana , we have 4 million people in this country who hate Jewish , Christian , Catholic , and all non Muslims, who have pretended to integrate , and say they will build a Muslim infrastructure in 2020 and plan to get rid of Trump and open the country for open immigration to , Syria , Pakistan , Somalia any and Islamic countries will be welcome

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.

He was better off going to Afghanistan at least there they would have welcomed him with open arms unlike Canada.

Whatsssssssup every body its Igor and welcome to my YouTube page?

Come here legally and you are welcome. Come here illegally and you must be deported. It's that simple...

Welcome to our NEW WORLD ORDER folks get out your wallets this is going to take so much of ALL of our money to stabilize the planet again thanks to ALL corrupt Governments for this.

I have been here for 30 years \n never been judged for my color but always welcomed by canadians .

Welcome to virgina

I have Asian friends who changed their last name to white last names to improve their chances for higher level jobs. By the time they arrive for the final physical interview, the interviewer/ company is shocked he or she is Asian. By then, it's harder for them to be biased and have their resume thrown out in the beginning and hire him based on his pure abilities. Welcome to Canada.

How about 1st - Military, US has the best in the world, Canada... not even close, 2nd - Taxes, Canadians pays LOTS of taxes way more then Americans, 3rd - Terrorism, the US eliminate Terrorist leaders to make themselves and the world a safer place, Canada welcomes Terrorists with open arms putting Canadians and Americans in danger.

❤️ I’m American and I have so many friends who are immigrants / refugees and they are genuinely some of the most educated, hardest working, and most lovely human beings I have been blessed to know. If someone is just trying to make a better life for themselves / their family and they are working or getting education, paying taxes, and abiding by laws, they are more than welcome in my country!\n\nWe all share the same tiny speck of dust in a ginormous universe. Be kind, be empathetic, love others ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So unfortunate that other people are not oriented in diversification despite of the truth that these people came in Canada by Colonialism. \nWho are we to be mean and negatively speculate against the other people. Following them in the stores, asking them to do more workloads than the other nationalities, not welcoming them unless they belong in the white collar jobs. But then, racism widened even from these nationalities that feel they are more superior than the other nationalities. It's terrible. It's rude and it hurts so much. Covid made us All realize that we r All equal.!

Every one is welcome to Canada please and thank you.

WELCOME TO SHITLAM !!!??

Why they need armed guards in Canada? Thought treudeu would have bongos and welcome wagons! New York State a liberal crap hole we welcome them to leave the United States. Surprised soy boy hasn’t disarmed Canada yet!

ALL other provinces NEED to ENFORCE a complete BAN on any Illegal REFUGEES Trudeau is allowing to break The Law. So If Trudeau keeps Roxham road open then KEEP ALL the fake REFUGEES QUARANTINED in Quebec and Ontario ONLY! While allowing people who think Trudeau is a goof a chance to get out of the Illegal Refugee zone. All those who didn’t vote for the clown Trudeau or NDP are welcome in the west. All provinces Must fight back!!! This clown is killing us!

Booze hound Blair says all is good, they are interrogated and tested. Welcome to the shithole of Canada.

That Tweet was a stupid Tweet sent by Trudeau. We are welcoming but have limits

Well we told you years ago ,Islam is a cancer . If they wanted to live peacefully they need to let go of Islam. Dont let a single mosque to be built around you and if they can live peacefully only than welcome them else dont.\nIf a mosque is allowed so will be SHARIA LAW AND SHARIA PATROL.\nDont let mosque to be around in Canada one simple step will stop radical islam.\nIf they can let go of mosque you are SAFE.

All Muslims are welcome to Kerala in India.

Welcome to Canada.

Shoot I've had a guy up my backside at Walmart\nP S maybe at Best buy they were trying to make Mark feel welcomed. He is good looking

so why do we have 10+ immigrants living in a 2 bedroom house? on food stamps driving a new car, free medical, not paying tax. Then we are told. they pay tax? then how can they pay when they don't have a as card? they get DL and can't read or speak english? the city and states welcome them for the money they collect from the gov. but yet we have homeless vets. what BS!

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.

Fu*CK Canada and European Canadians send dem all back to their European country of origin ? welcome to kanadjikistan.

She's welcome to seek asylum at my house

How about not welcoming muslim immigrants

So you're deporting a woman who's been here for 18 years because her mother ignored all these orders, yet you welcome Syrian refugees with open arms

Welcome to middle East, your culture is being invaded.

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!
