I’m 47 years old, black (Caribbean descent) and have lived in Canada my whole life. I’ve lived in Montreal, Toronto and Calgary and visited all over the country. Have never experienced any racism of any kind. Toronto and Montreal in particular are incredibly diverse. Not sure how you would see any overt racism in those places. I don’t trust this lady’s story at all. Sounds like she’s making it up as she goes along tbh. If her brother’s boss fired him and called him the N-word that’s an easy lawsuit to win… and it’s difficult to believe that ANY boss would be THAT stupid. \n\nThere are ignorant people everywhere without a doubt… but please don’t believe this B.S. about white people hating anyone who isn’t white. We saw the farce that was BLM and what they did with the tens of millions that they took in after inciting riots and burning cities. Don’t believe their lies. Don’t allow yourself to be a victim. We are ALL one people. Black, white, brown and everything in between. ☮️

I have gotten admission at both USA and CANADA process of my visa just going to study and am off to my country. Just go back to your country that all if we have such programs in my country I will study in my country. Home is home

ALL PEOPLE HAVE RACIAL BIAS HATRED CANADA AND AMERICA WILL BECOME ENSLAVED TO GERMANY SOON.

Your fortunate to have a good support system. A support group for blacks in Canada and a good lawyer would help.

FBA here, raised in Canada for 27 years, since the age of 11. Educated in Canada, I am Canadian but when it came to socialization and employment that was where the line was drawn. I returned to the USA 7 years ago. It’s bad in the states but Canada is much worse.

Canada has been sold out, rat race now

They are not punishing the students. Canada needs to do what it needs to do. It's Indian problem not theirs.

I tell you Canada is bad to poc coz they keep bringing us here to support their retired population and the pay is low and everything expensive. It's a modern day slavery here. I wish I did not come here.

Let them in so they can breath what we are breathing right now send them all to Canada so they can help put out the fires!?

Really I used to live in Edmonton and I never experienced racism in Canada period..,to each is own.

My brother was murdered in a small town called Kenora in Ontario Canada by a bunch of Caucasian guys. The police told us they were good guys from good families and they closed the case saying my brother pushed himself out of the window. His case and many others never made the news. Unlike in the U.S., we don’t have the media and institutional power to enforce civil rights. A couple of years ago they unearthed about 7,000 native kids from residential school properties. They didn’t offer any investigations into it. They brushed that back under the rug saying it was sad, the end.

Good job inko india me jitni bhi freedom do. US canada me ye apna asli rang dikhate h. Gand todo salo ki

I want to express, respectfully, if you are disappointed in the UK and Canadian government expectations, go back to Africa..how dare you speak poorly of Uk and Canada.

As a mixed race Individual, East coast Canada is more open-minded , respectful and kind, I've only experienced prejudice and racism from police (not often, and miserable people at work) love y'all!

Hi, ma’am which country better to live it is Canada, US, or Europe?

As someone from Canada, I will say Alberta is 'Trump' republican county of Canada, with lots of redneck white supremacists. They behave exactly like Trump supporters there, with lots of Trump supporters. Edmonton is a city in Alberta, so there you go!

I was hoping that Canada would be a safe haven for Black people. I thought that Canada was genuinely liberal in a way that nowhere in the United States is. There is the image of Canadians as low key, down to Earth, inoffensive, unimposing, friendly, helpful. I guess that was just a myth. Canadians don't like Americans coming up there for work and, Black Americans are also Americans.

We want u come back to canada

Shahveer bhai plz again shift to canada and make vlogs with same old team... ❤❤❤❤

Welcome to Canada ??

Didn't you put out a video 2 months ago stating the absolute reverse of your argument in this video? So, which is it, positive or negative? And why pick Perth? The East coast is where you need to be. If Australia has desert, Canada has frozen tundra, both big countries with large expanses of wilderness. Anyway, good luck in Canada, from an Aussie now retired in Europe.

Very happy to see you back in Canada❤❤❤

No doubt there is racism in most countries in the west including an amazing country like Canada or even Australia, but they aren't as horrible as in Asia or the middle east ?\nIf it's equally worse, those African immigrants doing well for themselves here won't be coming in large numbers. Black americans are just so dramatic and love to play the victims all their lives while blaming the whites for their problems and failures. You should head places like china, japan, malaysia, indonesia and live there for a little while and see what racism is like.

That's fine and everything but the government's needs to help people that are already living in canada before he starts helping people from other countries this is Canada so Canadians have to be first

I'm white, both my parents are white and they, we didn't receive much better treatment here either. I think cronyism is a more accurate description than racism. \nCanadians seem to only accept those within their small, insular groups. You will notice that Canada supports multiculturalism but that means that there are thousands of cliques operating inside a whole. As for WS or microaggressions, don't worry as they will be overtaken by other groups which will won't even bother with being subtle.\nPeople have come here through legitimate channels or across at Roxham Road with the polite RCMP bellhops but failed to research thoroughly the reality of this land. I have talked to or read from newcomers who complain that it's cold and there's no culture. No kidding. (Try living in a logging camp with 300 inches of rain a year.) Suffice to say these newbies are less than thrilled.\nNot sure what to say other than this is the reality and it's quite unlikely to change no matter what Trudeau or others do. ?‍♀️?‍♀️

I am a black south african and live In Edmonton Alberta since 2010 I worked hard and built a life for my self and my family I have never gone through any racism in Edmonton Alberta Canada I have white black and native American friends if anyone should be complaining about racism in Canada it's the native American people let's not talk about how us as black people treat eachother that comes from different African countries we have no love for one another

Canada is bad..but Toronto isn’t as bad I’d say….majority minority city and everyone is too worried about the cost of living

Canada us and mexico should build a big wall in the south mexican border and problems solved

Its a pity in this 21st century still experiencing racism? Why is it the most civilised people lives like uncivilised? I am so disappointed I thought America and Canada should have lived a free - racism society than any other countries across the globe because black people has made America to be where it is today, it is very ironic we black people in Africa we live in harmony with every race you can mentioned it whether Indians, Chinese, white people, etc and nobody complains that they are being discriminated here simply because of the colour of their skin. we simply dont care as long as you are a human being.

Well if the embarrassment to my race iggers weren't living up to every stereotype and making all of us POC looking like a natural born criminal race of people MAYBE other races wouldn't see all of us in such a negative light. I'm pretty sure this jiffy pop bag wearing embarrassment to my race is exaggerating and making some of this up because there are some among us who neeeeed to be a victim of everything....they was taught that by their WHITE Liberal / Democrat Party OWNERS. Wonder if she got a 100% chance of being deleted from society by someone who look like her in Canada like she does here in America.....yeah LOL! probably so. POC got NO ONE to blame for other races seeing us all as bad people but they selves. If this fool got serious problems and it is all making her ill....the Canadian health system can help put an end to all her problems. LOL!

As a black person I wouldn't want to live someone that gets that cold anyway. F*ck Canada

I wouldn’t go as far as Ontario. It’s not as bad there. However I only go to Canada to visit. I thought they were nicer to me when I go in regular clothes but when I’m in my Islamic attire I get harassed every time at the boarder.

This is funny because I get a lot of stupidness from Indian people in Canada

Canada Canada O my one day I will share my story ✌?

I believe. I work with a nurse from Canada here in AZ in a prison. She became under suspicion because she would always take forever with the white supremist inmates when she was alone with them drawing their blood or seeing them for anything in a room

Canada is WS system as much as the united state. Black people struggles are universal.. unity is key, Black unity ✊?

Thanks for the warning but girl please Canada is ultra lite America.

the only difference between canada and the us is canada decided not to fight when the US did. That's it lol.

Oh no!\nKaren lives in Canada too?\nThe free world is no longer safe

EVEN JESSE WATTERS FROM FOX NEWS SAID HE DONT LIKE CANADA AND HE WHITE !

Baking n Pastry course kesa rahenga Canada me.

Salaam gul sister. Hum Austria main rehtye Hain . Kya hum Canada aa saktye Hain.

As a Canadian the only thing that I would say jumped out as not Canadian was your pronunciation of Newfound Land (though I have heard more Canadians say aboat instead of aboot, but aboot will remain king ),. Being Atlantic Canadian (but living across Canada) myself it's always pronounced NewFIN Land, everything else that sounded wrong to me is just a mater of location, like being from Nova Scotian means I have a strong R (like a pirate) when saying words like are, car, or star (Edit. We Nova Scotians also like out silent T's, Martin is Mar'in, and can't is can'}.

This is heartbreaking… Canada should do something ???

I live in Canada and everything is so true . On point.

Canada is hell

Americans think they want to live in the US. They are moving to Canada lol

The problem is Canada needs more big cities. This will help the GDP.

Agree with everything but only half agree on covid #6. I agree canada was extreme but so was all of europe, especially the south. Only sweden used common sense.

Trudeau has permanently ruined Canada.
