I'm moving to Canada in 2021

Canada has a very high cost of living. In Toronto or Vancouver,$1800/month rent for an average apartment, houses are at least $750,000 in a decent area. Cellphone and internet rates are among highest in world. Groceries and alcohol are expensive compared to US and UK. Extreme cold weather 5 months a year even in southern cities like Toronto. Spotty transit service compared to European and Asian cities. Much of the country is undeveloped because of extreme weather. Most Canadians live within 60 miles of the USA border.\n\nAdvantages of Canada : it is reasonably rich and technologically advanced. Free and democratic although not like the USA. Lots of open space outside large cities. And very quiet , peaceful but uneventful country.

I think we need to come close to each as one humanity. We should at least talk and explore those all different skin colors men and women. Not all of them are bad. Not all white are good even so this implies to all other colors too.\n\nThere is love hidden inside everyone and it’s a matter of shaking hand, accepting the way you are. We all are humans and have same feelings, families, kids etc nothing changes if skin color change trust me. Our problems, illness and happiness are same then why do we hate each other. Canada is an amazing country and I love it

We Muslims respect Canada govt we don't attack anyone without any reason they hurt us in the name of Islam

You forgot to mention a major difference. \nWhile USA bans Kinder surprise eggs, Canada bans Guns.

Canada needs to close it's border ASAP

Thanks brother,iwant a job in Canada,pl. Help me,

I can totally relate to people who aren't white. As a transgender woman I am almost always seen as suspicious. I've been homeless because very few people will rent to me. The irony: I'm a licensed, clinical psychologist. ;-) \n\nRacism, transphobia, homophobia, Islamophobia, Xenophobia, they all exist here in Canada.

USA and Canada are not as similar as India and Pakistan

The USA loves Canada so much that they tried and failed to invade us twice.

You say that both countries are very patriotic but I must say, as a Canadian, I really don’t see the same level of “patriotism” here in Canada than in the States. It’s definitely not expressed the same way. Maybe being from Quebec is influencing my view on this a bit haha, but no I don’t think I would have used the adjective “patriotic” to describe Canadians in general. I don’t mean we hate our country, but it’s not like at the centre of our thoughts constantly.

I love USA and Canada both.❤️❤️❤️❤️

I thought Canada was supposed to be nice

You went to the most racist, unwelcoming part of canada. it's like texas in alberta. That's why you regret it.

USA + Canada you need to have a One-Time Amnesty for people/families who have not gotten into trouble, go to work and a proud to join our nations/culture. They want to contribute.

Ur all accusing Asian people when COVID-19 was made in Canada and it was a man made bioweapon that accidentally broke in a Wuhan Lab behind the wet markets in Wuhan China you can't blame Asian people or animals from the virus when it's clearly an airboat Bio weapon man made materials first read the the facts behind all this COVID-19 then look at ur own people who made it in ur country and took it to China and stop with the hate and racism. Regards \n from a non Asian person but loves Asian people God bless everyone and stay safe

Shoppers Drug Mart employees are the absolute worst in my experience for racial profiling. They opened a new store so had hardly any customers, I was shopping for painkillers where there are numerous drug types, brands, strengths (mg), styles (capsules, gel cap, tablets), amounts and prices - all in small writing which takes quite a bit of time to disseminate and decide upon especially when your eyesight is poor as mine is. After a while I looked up and noticed a security guard standing in the aisle watching me. I was shocked and confronted him, asking if he was watching me, to which he quickly denied and left. Was so disturbed I quickly left the store without buying anything and refused to return to that location. Another time I was shopping for an eyebrow pencil where the colour name was printed again in small letters so was spending time to find the one I wanted amongst all the different browns. After I had chosen and started to walk past their counter, their staff member stood with her arms folded shaking her head. This was very alarming as I had shopped in that store since it had opened! So after effectively being accused of shoplifting a $3 eyebrow pencil for no reason other than being black, at the cash line, a white guy sprints out the door carrying a $50 box of diapers! Whatever they are selling at Shoppers or anywhere else is not worth my freedom. They have no right to profile me when it is never going to be me stealing. There are many, many black people who just do not do those kinds of things. We are not all criminals. I have worked in lots of stores and the majority of people stealing are the majority of people in Canada - the white people. Stop living on stereotypes, Shoppers Drug Mart and don't pooh-pooh people's experiences when they call and complain!

Noooo....USA is the 4th biggest country in the world and canada is 2nd

Bloc Quebecois is Canada's Republican Party. Trumpty Dumpty would be proud.

Canada is the safest country in the world ??

Racism was far more prevalent in Canada decades ago. I remember hearing stories from my aunts and uncles about the types of things that would happen when they first arrived in the country. People would heckle and threaten visible minorities. \n\nBut I can say I have personally never experienced systemic racism in Canada. This country gave my family and I opportunity, safety and a just system. I was born and raised in Canada, and this is my home. There is no other country I would want to live in.\n\nLong live Canada and what it stands for. God bless this land.\n\n\nEdit: I forgot to add that the post secondary program I graduated from had a disproportionately high percentage of students belonging to visible minorities. This is the case with similar programs across Canada. One could argue Caucasian students are grossly underrepresented in this program. Does this not fit the definition of systemic racism stated in this video?

This video only need to be two seconds here’s how I’m going to conclude it Canada has better health care the us have a really bad health care system USA has more crime more expensive if Education and overall Canada is a better place to live and the us sucks even if I wasn’t Canadian I would probably say that Canada Is better

I watched this video with the genuine intent to learn about systemic racism in Canada. Other than the example of people of colour not having marijuana sentences reduced, I do not feel we are offered any concrete examples. We are only given examples of (terrible) historical injustices, as well as talking heads claiming systemic racism exists without offering any examples we can actually learn about to move forward.

I Love Canada ?? Canada ?? Canada ??!!!

Racism in Canada is here but not as open and in your face. I was a victim of racism while working at seaspan shipyards and mind you my tax paying dollars is funding that project. It has left me feeling lost and depressed . when I mentioned my treatment to human resource office...they justified whay happened to me by making excuses ..\nWe need a system where an advocate could step in and help

This video did a decent job of presenting some evidence regarding systemic racism in Canada. While we are better than the US in this aspect, we still have large room for improvement. However, I disagreed with the comments at the end regarding prime Minister Trudeau's knee. At the very least, that is a symbolic move showcasing his solidarity and empathy with oppressed individuals and his commitment for a better future. A mistake 20 years ago shouldn't devalue his 20 years of evolution and growth. Hopefully, the knee is accompanied by efforts aimed at police reforms and improved mental health support.

I think Canada’s proximity to the USA desensitized us to its problems. Canadians have a long history of defining themselves by the fact that they are NOT American but that doesn’t shield us from the fact that we have some growing to do. We have generally more socially favorable welfare programs than the US but that doesn’t mean there isn’t systematic racism, it just means it’s shown and expressed in different ways

Focus on the historical racism of Canada while they can't produce one tangible example of current systemic racism but just moan and groan about it. One of the weakest arguments for systemic racism yet. Great job Clown Broadcasting Corp.

Please bro please help me so I can come to canada easily

Powerful! Truth is power. Now we need to activate this power into societal change throughout Canada. Thank you for this voice.

Tim hortons is all over in the U.S. and for some reason my sons new girl friend from Canada had to come here to become an eye doctor Weird. Student visa I guess. And we took her for breakfast the other day at a Cracker Barrel restaurant and she never had a biscuit before. She loved them She said it was similar to some indigenous food but the biscuit was much better oh she tried the grits. It was fun she’s a good sport

It’s usually the Eastern European immigrants that are very obvious with racism in Canada. The Anglo Canadians are more subtle especially with high paying jobs.

Watching this. Will be tuning in Race in Canada tonight
