When people get beyond the boundary of a person's color you will face the reality of what this is all about in the first place. Isn't it funny when we look at things like professional sports. The music industry a host of other platforms you see the black community excelling. Now you do not see a huge rebellion taking place from any other nation that is not represented in those areas. So what is really up with these other areas you continue to bring up. All those other problems are not being escaped from because of a persons color. If you believe you have a problem in those areas. Then continue to find solutions. Stop trying to single out the fact that you are the only race that has life issues. When you know every Canadian daily has challenges it faces. The thing about it all is simply this fact. What are you going to do about it ? Stop putting up walls that tell others you are always a victim. If that were the case your basketball courts, baseball stadiums, football fields would not be filled. We all know that is not happening. And I certainly do not believe that all blacks live in this sort of arena. In fact I have a lot of friends who are black. All I see everyday is a beautiful person behind that face. The other thing is, that there are millions of Canadians every year out getting tans when the sun hits. That alone should speak volumes.

too late .....i knew a guy immigrated to Canada in 2002 his wife and kid lived in Ottawa and he never lived there ,,,,,he has granted Canadian nationality in 2006 , when i asked him how he has done it he told me you can play with the law, many has Canadian nationality and never lived in Canada ....good luck Canada

Most of these Ninja dressed folks are the extremist end of Muslims.\n\n\nThe average Muslim immigrant (Atleast from Indian Subcontinent) works hard, goes through all the loops of legal immigration and even works to put in effort to adjusting to Canadian Culture. From my (Personal Perspective) all legal immigrants should make 100% effort to learning the countries culture they immigrate to its the least we can give in return as immigrants and also work towards contributing towards Canada's economy instead of leeching it. There are certain crazy extremes but the average Muslim works towards his / her bread & butter to live another day.

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)

proud to be a Canadian...long live Canada my home my heart my soul♥️??♥️\nI love USA since most exciting places like New York City on earth with most loving people specially my friends in USA....God bless America\nStay home stay safe ???????????

I think lots of these are stereotypes like especially the food cause I'm a canadian and think that maple syrup is way to sweet ,I also think the street are way less busy in canada and in canada where I live there are way less fast food joint's like I have never seen taco bell or chipotle in canada and where I live in bc It doesn't snow alot

We don't live in igloos Canadian struggles

Canadians over all have higher education than Americans. Due to cheap university/college tuition. Canadians also live longer too.

I was born and raised in the US but I have been going to Canada for my entire life. I live here now because of college and I love the US a little more because that was home. But where I live in Toronto, is pretty diverse. Canadians are nicer but so are Americans but are more racist down south. Canada's government is led by a real leader but the States is led by an idiotic annoying orange.

I totally agree with you Lloyd Douglas and his column black in Canada. I find it to be swept under the carpet as far as racism is concerned, they smile in front of you but behind you they Stab you in the back .well the Americans is right up front I can work with you but I won’t socialize with you, at least you’re truthful.\n\n I find Canadians to be very two face , Hidden they true feeling and pretend a lot . I have experienced the first time in my life racism was within Canada and it brought me to tears. I live in America for so many years no one had ever call me the N word , I never felt so humiliated and lower my self-esteem. So when I was coming to this country they say it was multicultural but that don’t mean black. Even the so-called people they call them selves Brown consider black people as nothing but I am here to say we are something , we are the future , embrace us , celebrate us , and accept us.there are good people and bad people in every race. ?

SO I WOULD LIKE TO SET UP A HOUSE HOLD CAN I HAVE $50.000 I KNOW OF A HOUSE FOR SALE OH CRAP I'M CANADIAN ONLY PRIVILEGE IS TO RENT OR LIVE ON STREET MOST CANADIANS ARE HOMELESS RENTERS SUPPORTING THEIR PURCHASE.

In Justin's world, ILLEGAL immigrants are essential traffic. Justin, it is time to stop your virtue signalling. You are putting Canadian lives at risk by continuing to try to stack the deck for future votes. Shut down Roxham road

Why isn’t Canadian PM welcoming them as in the past and is hiding in his living room??

I wish I had known Keean was going there, I would have been happy to go too (it is maybe an hour and a half drive from where I live). It would have only taken a dozen of cars of supporters to go and drive back with Keean. Then, when the police would have shown up, they would not have been able to stop everyone. Someone would have been able to follow the bus.\nI signed the petition...I hope every Canadian who viewed this video did too!

What a lying government. Trudeau never said a word about these non Canadians being exempt. He’s more than happy to keep risking Canadians lives. What a liar and where the heck is he rest of the media on this story. You are all complicit.

Those are his voters.. he's not going to stop them even if Canadian lives are at risk. Disgusting

must be really proud of serving and protecting canadians. instead, doing the exact opposite. breaking the laws and risking lives. nice job...shame on them

Canadians can't trespass in facilities that they pay for with their own tax dollars, but illegals can trespass in our country and live off the taxpayer. It doesn't look like we have to obey the law. Gather up a bunch of protesters and put up a blockade around the border. We already learned from the pipeline protests and railroad blockades that the law means nothing. You won't get anywhere unless you fight fire with fire.

The REASON Im COMMENTING about this POST is the BLACK CANADIAN COMMUNITIES of MONTREAL and TORONTO iin FRENCH- QUEBEC CANADA is a COMBINED COMMUNITY. Not ONLY are BLACK WHOM came there on the'UNDERGROUND RAILROAD : from the SOUTH of AMERICA , there are BLACKS there WHOM IMMAGRATED there from CARRABBIN NATION if SOUTH AMERICA which GIVES it a VERY DISTITIVE and DEVERSE PLACE to LIVE .For not only is the MONTEAL - TORONTO JAZZ FESTIVAL WORLD RENOWN , it's CARNIVAL which HELD YEARLY is also WORLD RENOWN to those WHOM know .

And why is Canadian government taking so much refugees from Africa and middle east if they know that many Canadian are racists towards blacks and Asians, racists people are just ignorance and they don’t want to accept their denial of the racists. Example I didn’t know that there’s different between humans and we are all humans but not kind of aliens from somewhere, as human being we should have just live together and treat people like we treated ourselves rather than hating others because of their skin color. Am African man and here in Africa we don’t have such things as black or white but we are all humans and we all believe that all humans are equal and it doesn’t matter whether you’re white or black..

I live in the United States, and I’ve always thought that Canadians were not as racist as Americans. Thank you for sharing this with your audience. It’s a conversation that we need to have regularly.

They should be talked to like this these people are trying to take over this country they don’t want to live in peace here because there all bringing there third world bs they are not trying to become Canadian at all they want Canada to become what they left there countries to begin with so how are they refugees an need help then if they want Canada to be the same as the war torn countries they come from

What jobs? There\n isn't any work in Canada right now, the Liberal Gov't is chasing away companies, that want to do business here. I know, I've lived here my whole life. Only illegals get in, this is what our Gov't promotes, because they're trying to buy votes, and divide Canadians. You don't want to come to Canada, if you don't like a dictatorship, because that's what our Defacto\n Gov't is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Good luck.

Maybe I'm naive, but why do they want Canadian citizenship if they are going to live in China?

Canada just doesnt have as many people of colour willing to live in our cold climate.\nThere may be five families where i live and i only knew one family in my hometown of brantford ont. where we have huge native families.\nGrowing up half breed myself i have witnessed many racial prejudices.\nThe canadian propaganda wheel spews the company line 'dirty, lazy indian' , they don't even call us natives! \nThis is the respect we are denied at every turn.\nAfter buying $1,400 worth of items for my sons dorm room from walmart we were held and searched , after they embarassed us and held us for the police i was strip searched and given no apology for the false accusations

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.

Surely there are Canadians who would give anything to live in France; I purpose a trade.

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

I would like to invite Canadian join live Skype broadcast, The Arabian Prophet- Christian Prince.

She is so canadian that can’t live without the American culture.

They don't live in Canada, they don't scam from Canada, they merely need it as insurance for possible problems in China. They would never live of Canada's welfare, which cannot be said about the majority of Canadians. What is the problem other than envy?

Ask any Canadian and they will tell you they live in the best country in the world. Not once will they talk about the racists and racism that has existed in this country...FOR YEARS!

If you want to be muslim, live in a muslim nation. If you want to live in canada, become canadian. Assimilate. Anything else is an invasion. We can see it happening everywhere else. Any nation that allows islamification is a nation of idiots.

Why do people want Canadian citizenship without living there? Still don’t understand that part

The Canadian people dont want immagrants living here. They are not welcome!!! Pei is full of immigrants. Its so sad. I feel like im living in a foreign country. Why cant the government see whats happening. The people living among them notice how awful immagrants truly are. They are rude and they are taking their religion and beliefs with them. Its scary. They have no respect. The people are tired of immigrants. We are taling a stand. If you are a immagrants. Stay away!!!!!! Not welcome and never will be. Wake up government. You want them living here then come live with them because we dont want to anymore!!! Stay away.

what do they gain from not living in Canada while being a Canadian citizen?

But how comes Canadians are giving citizenship to foreign nationals who doesn't even speak the language?? I live in Europe, I speak 4 languages, yet I'm an illegal immigrant ? Canada, please take me! ?

its really scary when we see women covering whole body with burka and roaming in streets of canada if u live in canada follow canadian culture . or else please go back to where u come from. when they form almost 40% then they will start ruling canadians. there are good muslims but they way muslims dressed feel others unsecured. so we request you to get back to your home country.....

Muslims: You Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, atheists are not allowed to go to Kabba Sarif in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, it's only for Muslims.\nMuslims: Canadians are Racist?\nSeriously?? We allow you to live in our country and your Saudis are not even giving us permission to go and see Kabba Sarif. Who is RACIST now?

So much negative comments on Muslims.\nHypocrites the lot of you \nLook at all the evils the Christian west has been doing for the past 500 years even to this day!!! \n Canadian are living on stolen land!!!

Cleverly this videos talks about "how much" and not "how many" refugees get Social Assistance, then uses Vietnamese legal immigrants (the hardest working people in Canada) as an example of how quickly they become self-supporting. The truth about refugees aftermath is that, the large majority of refugees in Canada coming originally from third world countries, live on Social Assistance for several years, some for life, knowing that the Canadian government will provide for them anything they need (Ironically there are very few statistics on this matter and no statistics at all since 2015, when the current government was elected).

Do yourself a favour. Don’t read the comments...a lot of toxicity coming from toxic people...being a Punjabi Indian living in Ottawa, I don’t mind people of any background (white, black, brown, etc.) as long as all respect the bylaws related to driving, house maintenance, garbage...what pisses me off is that people from my community (not all) are actually creating troubles...seen that...seen indians trashing on the streets to talking shit about white and black people in their language be it hindi or punjabi, rash driving, seen some good indians truly respecting the laws...maybe it’s time for the Canadian government to realise that laws should be tightened and people disobeying the laws should face harder penalties...

The canadians are as cold as their weather...poor guy got rejected after such a DUMB MOVE .Generally speaking living in the US is way easier than in Canada ,where you have to be a genius (overqualified) to get almost any decent job.Not to mention the brutal winters (except vancouver) Only 2 good things about canada : it's healthcare and safety . Much easier to have a comfortable life in the US despite being undocumented .You just have to keep a low profile and be a law abiding citizen.The american economy is simply the BIGGEST in the planet .So many businesses : someone will give you a chance ...as simply as that !

I think that even if you are Canadian or American or British or whatever and you convert or you become Muslim you should be deported to a Muslim country and go live there your citizenship should be stripped from you and you should be deported to whatever Middle Eastern country you so choose but it won't be in western civilization if your woman you want to wear hijab you go do it in it Middle Eastern country not here when everybody sick it's Fed Up and everybody stands up against you this will be a very short-lived for all you Muslim will go bye-bye

I'm Canadian Muslim im not going back anywhere stolen land belongs to first nation hello white people you never be peaceful you killed millions first nation you bom 7 countries of muslim islm never does i live comfortable ??i love this country more then you do i will protect anyone try destroy we are all Canadian ??♥️

Well if you want to live in the West denounce Jihad tell thos Canadians who you are individually so they know where you stand.

Trudeau is a MURDERER! VOTE ANDREW SCHEER AND GET TRUDEAU OUT!!!!!!!! MUSLIMS FRIGHTENED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF CANADIANS WHEN TRUDEAU BROUGHT THIS LOT IN! NOW THE TABLES ARE TURNED THEY GAVE THE NERVE TO BE WORRIED!!!!!!! THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN LET IN. CANADA IS NOT THE SAME COUNTRY ANYMORE!!!!! Why not live in a Muslim country where their religion and culture is theirs!!!!!!!! In a muslim country Christian's would not be allowed to practice their religion or wear their own clothing! Bulldust the women have to cover their faces as their MEN INSIST they look unattractive to men outside the home!! It is a chauvinistic religion and men do not accept women as equals and are expected to be subservient!
