Hmm, didn't slaves escape to Canada one time? Just saying, like.

White people discrimate against other WHITE PEOPLE - just talk to any descendants of the Irish or Italians who have ancestors who emigrated to US and Canada Even today - rich whites discrimate against poor whites - Yeah, this sounds crazy but the facts stand, - why are Blacks surprised with how they are treated ???

How do the Asians and India nationals treat Blacks in Canada?

Based on their history, PLEASE show me ONE INSTANCE where Europeans have shown willingness to co-exist with indigenous peoples of the earth? TASMANIA?(Genocide) ...NAMIBIA?(Genocide)...SOUTH AFRIKA?(WE all know the story...) AMERICA?(small pox in blankets.. )..CANADA? KENYA? THE CONGO? SOUTH AMERIKA?I'll wait...over here...in the smokers section...

I always noticed the lack of info on descendants of enslaved who escaped to Canada because Caribbean and Africans always talking and when it comes to telling history all perspectives are necessary. Remember Africaville.

Canada is soooo oppressive which is why I moved to the African paradise of the Congo.

It is also interesting that Alberta the the Province ie State that the sister is taking about also have the largest American born and American descended population in Canada. Attracted no doubt by the robust oil industry

Been Canada Several times and am Women of Color they were Surprised Very,Very, Pleasant

I remember that after the American Revolution, the Africans (Blacks) who fought on the side of the British (Loyalists) were sent to Canada to escape slavery and as a reward for having fought. We have been in Canada for more than 240 years. Shame that it's still going on.

Are you surprised? This is a nation that genocided millions of natives. All colonial nations are based on white supremacy; it’s just that it’s more subtle in liberal democratic places like Australia and Canada.

*I'm Canadian, and I attest that if she was in Toronto instead of Edmonton she would not be experiencing this. Toronto is very multi-cultural and diverse. ALBERTA is a different kettle of fish altogether. Not all of Canada is like Edmonton, Alberta*

I always thought Canada was a country that didn't discriminate against Blacks, until a Filipino brother told me the racism he faced as well as Blacks.

WOULD you recommend a country where BLACK people can LIVE without dealing with RACISM. I was born in Trinidad, and I have LIVED in Canada since 1968. With ALL of your WISDOM, please TELL me where I can GO to avoid RACISM. Every country has problems, YOU must MAKE your own CHOICE. YOU are either STRONG or YOU are WEAK. If YOU have GOALS and DREAMS, then YOU must go and fulfill them wherever the road takes YOU.

Yall late on the Canadians. Canada has always been a socialist country. Liberals are socialist. That's not anything new.

You guys are just coming here to Canada to see what you can use to advance your life so you're full of complaints. You have no care, loyalty or roots here. You're not entitled to be accommodated spoiled bratty people. \n\nImmigrants come here use up the resources and at the same time don't care about the community and bettering it which creates worsening conditions. None of you will fight for better public transportation... because you're not really going to live here, its not really your country.\n\nAs far as Quebec is concerned the Federal government stays silent out of fear of Quebec separating not silent racism. How arrogant that you think you know what's really going on girl.

I’m using my daughter’s account and came across this. Not true. Lived all across Canada. Maybe the people she encountered but not even close to my experiences at 54. From Jamaica.

The most racism province in Canada, is Quebec, is the French Quebecer is most racism!

Sounds like Sister Girl should've been left Canada, to be safe.??

Sister's so right these folks being so evil out here in canada i live near a bunch of em I Hate it I just want to be near my folks❤

I thought that Canada has a strong demand for foreign workers, mainly because of its manufacturing sector which is driven by the development of the AI.

Jeez, Inthought Canada would be okay

Thanks Mr. Scott for the reporting, but the sista is bang on with her assessment. I have lived in Canada for over 35years of my life. Check my full take on the issue that i presented in response to Dylan Hill's comment below.

Canada and the USA are White settler states. If you support them, you are supporting White Supremacy. \nEither help us Native Americans overthrow these colonial governments and take our landback; Or pack up and go back to Africa.

JUMPING FROM FRYING PAN INTO FIRE ! CANADA IS BRITISH ! SAME. DOGSHIT??

Canada isn't any difference from any other place in the world. Until there is unity , men & women with melanated skin will continue to be subjugated to their treatment

Duh Edmonton Canada's black population is bare minimum. Look at what Warren Moon had to deal with back in the day.

I've heard for a while Alberta in Canada was real bad. Real conservative

Canada is 3 percent negroes ....always keep that in mind.

Sad that while they're trying to get in I'm trying to get the f*** out of America..I'm going to Canada fuck this

America’s population climate condition established industry all are different then canada it should compare with Nordic nations or small European nation not with USA it’s all different it competes with giant economies CHINA JAPAN EUROPZONE INDIA RUSSIA ETC CANADA and AUSTRALIA always been developed for natural resources of the first world due to the size of land mass it’s hard to maintain such a large territory with less populations overall housing affordability with income growth healthcare sector improvement and 21st century digital economy revolution needed

Hello, can you put me through how to work in Canada.. site to access

Canada is heavily control by US. All Canadian politicians are pro-US and kind of giving up expanding our trades with other countries. Don't think it would change. Canadian left the country and working in US would likely come back after retirement. As medical would be too expensive for them after retirement.

we already know the problem with our economy, we have a spend crazy prime minister that hasn't provided any results, but seems to think canada is going in the right direction, even tho we have a record high unemployment rate, a record high homeless rate, and a record high inflation rate, all in the span of him being pm. you liberals need to wake up. he's destroying canada, then going to sell it off to china.

The best thing for Canada is to be annexed to USA

Republicans don’t want Mexicans and Central Americans. Democrats don’t want Venezuelans. Sad. USA, Canada, and Mexico have so much land that we could all share North America.

Meh. Here in Canada, our winter is much, much more intense. We're stuck during months in feets of snow, especially in the est. The fact that we keep going through the winter is an amazing achievement in itself.

The problem with Canada is that it's governed by idiots.

Most of the skilled worker in Canada are outsider, all of them have to pass canada's exams to work. Even if you are a top doctor in your country you will have to pass a exam to now work in Canada. Other business include scammy higher educaton businesses and petrochemical.

When i was younger i thought Canada was a better version of the US, I have second thoughts about that now,

You nailed it! Literally my experience. I have to say, I am very disappointed with my life in Canada. I am planning to leave.

This is why I think Canada should be annexed, I mean united with the US.\nWe have a lot of oil in Alberta. Why didn't they send their troops to give us some democracy yet.

The problem is Trudeau and Freeland. Wasting our money and ignoring the real people of Canada. Be gone Trudeau you woke A Hole

Historically, Canada's economy has been driven by exporting raw materials. Consequently, the country lacks infrastructure to enable other markets and the populace lacks imagination and skills in other arenas that might drive innovation. We are not an intellectually sophisticated people.

1st job in Canada being customer service at a tough place gets great reviews most employers love the grit and drive that we have

The golden age in Canada is gone. I graduated from a good university with a well paying profession and I’m jumping ship to move to China in September. It just doesnt make any sense to live in Canada anymore. I cant buy a home unless its in a province that is FREEZING. Thats not the life I want to live and there will be many more like me leaving Canada due to unaffordable housing. Canada has a very grim outlook and I wont be a part of it.

This is what happens when you have a long time corrupt and selfish government. We definitely need to get Trudeau out of the political scene of the world. He is destroying Canada and its once brilliant future.

Imagine having an economy based so heavily on housing...it cannot possibly be sustainable. The fact that nobody wants to live outside of Toronto, MTL, Vancouver or other big cities doesn't help. The only reason people buy houses in places like Barrie or Hamilton is because they can no longer afford anything in Toronto or the immediate suburbs. \n\nThe future of Canada is 5 giant mega-metropolises, with undeveloped wilderness everywhere else.

So, Canadians are supposed to listen to financial advice from a non Canadian about Canada. Thanks

So grateful to see all the comments. I'm moving to Canada soon and the comments from locals helped me understand the ground reality.\nI have questions about small business/ start ups, can any of you fine people help me with these? \n1. What are the major challenges of starting a small business/startups? \n2. Is expensive mobile data a major hindrance to the growth of apps which provide services? \n3. Red flags/negatives of starting a small business. Taxes, govt procedures, ease of doing business, etc.\n4. Is funding for a good app based business idea available easily? \n5. If I have an app based idea and the backend/IT operations run out of India what could be the issues I could face legally or taxwise? \n\nWill really appreciate guidance as I'm new to Canada and really looking for real business advice. Thanks much.

I already knew that Canada had a lot of in common with Australia but this an another thing we have in common. We're not as entrepreneurial and innovative as the US but we have a resources economy and people tend to invest in property (because it's a safe investment).\n\nI would still much rather live in Australia or Canada than the US though. Universal health care, for example.
