As a Jamaican Canadian I experience some anti-black racism all my life. The worst was at a few workplaces and a couple of visits to Montreal. I live in Toronto and it's here to, but not that bad. the western provinces besides BC are the worst. Quebec and the Atlantic provinces are also bad. My advice to all my brothas and sistahs that want to live in Canada is that you live in the GTA in Ontario. One other thing Do not live in Brampton, or you will be discriminated by another immigrant group which I won't say but some know.

All I can say to this sista is Thank you because folks she is speaking the truth. Canada the country as a whole has high levels of anti-blackness not just in Edmonton and not just by white folks. The worst thing is the others minorities or so called POC groups ally up with white against black people and it is a nationwide issue that we definitely need more people speaking up about their experiences. In addition to the fact that even Canadian Descendants of Slavery get discriminated against from our own black brothers and sisters who have come from other countries.

Her attitude…. Plus Toronto and Montreal is where bIack folks should be in Canada ??

Oh so Canada is like amerikkka. Got it.

This video is for the foreign Mzungus who keep on talking about America..also the diaspora who keep talking about how BA just complain about raycism in Babylon, the era of wakeup calls has arrived and most who going to Canada is from the continent and Caribbean

I wish Canada did more R&D. We have the talent and brains to be innovative, yet so many of us go work in the oil & natural gas sector because it pays handsomely.\nAlso to live in the most scenic provinces like BC and Ontario is crazy expensive. We moved from AB to BC in 2009 which my parents bought their house for $550,000 that's situated 40km East of Vancouver, and today their house is valued at 1.4 million... almost 3 times the original purchase price in just over a decade. Now an adult, my wife and I were forced to move back to Alberta and leave our families because we simply cannot afford to rent there nor ever have an honest shot at saving enough money to buy our own place. It is what it is and I'm sure it's a common theme that's not only exclusive to Canada, but man, it does sucks. I'm happy for any immigrants to move here and call Canada their home too, but many are loaded with money and purchase numerous properties just to then rent it out at an absurd rate because they can. It's fueling the problem worst and making it unfair for the born & raised Canadians.

Canada ?? is the best country in the world for new and young immigrants. For older people go elsewhere.

Canada is literally sucking immigrants at this speed.. I mean Canada needs immigration but now it looks like Canada is stealing people from other countries like Mexico, India, Iran ?? my friend is moving to Canada this November and I looked up some details about that in my phone.. the next thing that happened was literally tonnes of advertisements regarding Canadian immigration from various consultancies spammed my phone.. Its like they are literally selling Canadian immigration to us???\nCanada needs immigration but at the same time Canada should grow at that level to accommodate that immigration

You completely forgot how Canadian government has funding for flee from abused relationship subsidy... not even that there are special shelters for women fleeing relationship with children... infact there is second stage housing thay support womens for 5 years to support them become aelf depended... there are so many grants for studies for such women... some program i know is called DECSA. Besides US there is common shelter for domestic violence and homeless... we move from California to Edmonton... Canada has so many good things but my heart miss California a lot ?

Sir nice and useful information. I have question i am in Canada on study visa and now applied and waiting for work permit Can I opt for express entry program

I want to go Canada,how is possible kamya ma'am

omg I am absolutely shocked about this I never knew Canada was like this because i was planning to come study in Canada but I think I'm changing my min what do u suggest

4me, Suliyat, I am sticking with mine British thing. I don't care with immigration principles. Patience is vitus. I like Canada as well, I kan sometimes go for a visit and return to de U.K. having lived & ❤ U.K b4 & always ❤❤❤.

Canada's corruption is quite serious but the outsiders don't know. One of the reasons for Canada's lack of innovation and research is because real startups and business ventures cannot get the loans they need unless they give kick backs to those who work in the banks.

Remember in the 1970s and 1980 when Canada was respectful of all people. Women were respected int he workplace and treated as they should be in public. We opened doors for women, always said please and thank you. I always wondered why our prime minister said we were a racist nation. Why in the last 12 years has our standard living been decreasing along with all the services we once had, that our country could once afford. I think we are witnessing the fall of Canada. No longer having the freedoms we once knew, the respect we once had and the education on finances we were once taught in schools. Step by step, Canada is no longer the same country it once was even 40 years ago.

NIMBYs & Cronyism.\n\nThat's the problem with Canada's economy. That's it.

Canada spends lots of public money for research to do something or don't. \n\nAfter millions of dollars research discovered it's best don't do anything.

Canada has a way better economy than the USA by a long shot.

Canada- high cost of living

You could've made this video 4 seconds long...\nThe problem with Canada's economy: It's socialist. Done.

My sister and brother in law told me when moving to N.S. that they came across numerous homeless families. Apparently COVID caused a migration to the east and those families living in rentals were quickly kicked out by the landlord to sell at a high price, sometimes the buyer is not even Canadian but some foreign property investor. There is not enough housing there and no infrastructure to start building said housing. A small part of a larger problem in Canada.

Most of us in Canada work below our abilities because the government publishes hard work and innovation that creates more money with more taxes whereas in the USA there are tax incentives

The problem with Canada economy is the crime minister and his sheep

Thank you so much for this video. I feel Canada is the as compared to UK. It has so many advantages. I will make use of this opportunity. Mant thanks dear.

We have the natural resources to create energy. Yet Trudeau put a stop to anything that could earn Canada money. With the regulations in place we could produce energy a lot more greener than other countries. Wouldn’t it be better if we have our own oil that is produce cleanly than to rely on other country that don’t care about environmental issues? It’s so simple yet the people have been brainwashed by this government. I live in Quebec and we have so much potential energy wise and we do nothing. Frustrating.

I was born & raised in Canada. I love my Country and the people but I have no regrets moving abroad. I was making $200K/Year in Canada and I could not get ahead … wtf? Taxes and cost of living cost me my pay cheques. I moved abroad so that I could guarantee my retirement which I accomplished. Had I stayed in Canada I would never be able to afford retirement. Thanks Trudeau you meathead, you sold us all out!

Immigration is degrading Canada.

As an immigrant in Canada I would never reinvest the money I get here. I rather put it into US stocks or buy property outside the country. It’s impossible buy here and don’t be fooled it’s not because of immigration but lack of new housing and building permits.

Canada is not the best country at all. Actually is the least best country I've ever been to

Did this guy just say that Canada is the least corrupt country in the world? My god this guy is out of touch.

From what I saw in my office. Head office IS here in Canada but the actual manufacturing infrastructure is in the US.

The problem with Canada is the government and the people who support them.

Shey I no go kuku sit down for house like dis? See Canada wey person just put for mind since.

Canada is a real estate banana republic. Real estate is an unproductive asset to the general economy. It's dependent on low borrowing rates which encourages asset price inflation and the exploitation of those who are unwilling to participate or those unable to afford barriers to entry. This perpetual cycle of borrowing, buying and exploiting, has its upper limitations. Eventually everyone loses as debts are insurmountable and rent becomes unaffordable. When a recession occurs due to lack of spending, job losses will occur and a deleveraging will be soon to follow.

Very poor quality of life in Canada especially in the Quebec Province

Yeah, I moved from Calgary to the Philippines, so I get those reasons. I'm way happier here and the way things seem to keep going, Canada is becoming the most corrupt place. If you can, and it's something you are willing to do, I'd recommend finding the place that truly makes you happy to live in and enjoy life.

Don’t go to Canada ☠️ go to the UK

I waited in Mexico for my residence for 3 years when I married my husband, he is Canadian, I never lived illegally in Canada... before, I used to come to work with a work permit and these people cry because their papers did not arrive for a year.., I I was separated from my family for 3 years and I never tried to cross illegally... what happens with these people, they want everything easy and they only abuse the Canadian system

It's unconscionable that we've invited people to come to Canada without actually following through on the promise we made to them in the first place. Was it all just sloganeering designed to appeal to liberal progressive NIMBYers? Was there ever any intent on actually doing something for these poor people beyond a sound bite or photo op? \n\nThe solution to migration because of war, terror, famine and so on is not by opening up the borders and allowing everyone in, the solution to mass migrations (over 100 million worldwide) is to tackle the conditions that make such migrations necessary. Almost without exception, each one of these migrant/refugee situations are the result of political problems that have to be tackled in those countries where the conditions exist. There are over 100 million people fleeing conditions that make life unbearable, even if we wanted to, how are we to take them all into North America? How does anyone propose we do that, and even if we could manage it somehow, another 100 million would show up on our doorstep next year...or next week...it's simply not possible or reasonable to expect us to be overwhelmed by wave after wave of the poor unfortunate. The solutions to war and famine abroad can't be found here and we need to make it plain that people who live in such conditions must first rise up to help themselves. We can and should help, politically, through foreign aid and individual donations (North Americans are among the most generous donators after all), and even militarily where feasible or possible. The UN and other coalitions of nations, must each take up the burdens before people smugglers take it up for them. We have our own problems to deal with here and I'm not willing to vote for promises made that were never meant to be kept.

Assalam o Alaikum bhai yahan per canada ka kaam ho raha ha .124000 ma .

Ya but have them show how white p can walk freely from Canada to American they do that all day but when some thing happens they blame the south but they never blame Canada.. but look what happens on top

What's wrong canada? we've been dealing with this for decades.

As it should have been done years ago.What the hell is the matter with Canada???!!! I'm so sick of my tax dollars going towards these criminals! Because what they did WAS illegal!!!!

How are they all militant without any weapons in hand trying to cross the boarder ?Funny enough the people who stormed the capital in January weren’t Militant and they were ready to lynch people and carried all types of weapons. These people are desperately looking for better lives . The shouldn’t need to go in illegally but if there was transparent policy where they can go through proper process without being criminalized legally applying for asylum and locked in concentration camps waiting for verdict without right if speech or to get a lawyer a lot of people wouldn’t need to cross illegally. Not even speaking of the necropoltics in immigration laws and how the system plays on peoples emotions with these moral panics and media narratives. It’s really sad . They are better off going to Canada or Europe honestly . They might not be militants over there

Good place for them. Plenty of room in Canada.

Canada keep boom that one day will explode their people.

Nobody like East Indians as many lie,fraud,play ganes,dirty,destroy rental unit,try to use all govern agencies to sue you for nothing,noisy,no empathy,no respect of others ect\n\nIf you live in British Colombia Canada then you know what im talking about,\nBut its not a reason to be loud about it publicly and make them feel inferior,they already feel that way thats why they dont mix.\n\nThey bring back viruses in Canada from constant traveling back to India,\nWhere most poo on the streets and swim between dead bodies and how many without bathrooms?\n\nJust days ago a indian killed a Canadian in Vancouver over a vaping issue,,\nindian could not understand that vaping an inch away from a 5 years old kid was wrong so?\nHe stabbed the father who asked him to vape away,\nI mean,what the fuck!?!

This is ridiculous. I consider myself an independant cuz I agree with certain things on both sides but on immigration I lean republican\n\nThis country is the only country ppl do this in. Y do everyone wanna come to the USA. We gotta do something and I actually agreed with putting up a wall or some sort of stable barrier. Either come here legally or stay where you're at. I'm from the Caribbean and had to wait 7years for my greencard after filing and came here legally and these ppl just wanna rush our borders illegally. And I get your country is inhumane and sucks but we can't take in everyone who lives in a country that sucks\n\nWe have a huge homeless problem in this country and this will only add to it, not to mention these ppl can't work here and will probably go on welfare which puts more strain on the system and the taxpayers. We need to take care of our own b4 taking care of others. Why dont these ppl go rush canadas borders or go to mexico or somewhere else. This angers me

awesome video! I really enjoyed it. can we know about marriage in UK vs marriage in Canada?

No more loads on the American people, We can barely make it with high prices and these locusts come to feed off of us.\nRunning into other countries to throw the burden on them is NOT how you resolve these problems. \nThe problems begin with your tyrannical government who's oppressing its people.\nStay in your country, unite, weaponize start a revolution and overthrow your corrupt government. Other countries like Brazil, France and Canada are doing it.\nAmerica needs to wake up and do the same before We end up like these Venezuelan and Central Americans.
