Let this loser go to philippines and let see what he got. You guys not even the first people here in canada, First Nation is! So dont act you own this country coz\nWe all just migrating here

Go to El Salvador illegally and see what happens to you. You go straight to jail. These people go to countries illegally and want to be welcomed with open arms.

I came to Canada as a student. Applied through to get my permanent residency. Improved my English, also learnt French. Worked multiple jobs... learned the Canadian way of life. Amalgamated myself into this wonderful country and it's even more awesome people... most importantly always paid my taxes and never been on EI... now your telling me I should have just walked across the border and within 12 hours I would have received refugee status... phewww that's a blow out

Why those people do nothing? In the future it will be impossible. This law is bullshit. It must have a end. Send those people back to their countries then.

Everyone must be respectful of other cultures, or stay home. I have been all over the world, and would never down or insult anyone in or out of their country. RESPECT is the name of the game.\n\n I am happy for anyone to live where they are happy. I have visited all over the world, but my culture is USA. My DNA is African, Native American, and Scottish. I always search the rich and the poor of all countries, and that says everything.\n God bless everyone and keep you safe. Please pay forward to non beggars. Let go and let God, and treat everyone, the way you want to be treated.\n\nI remember how ALL people have behave visiting my USA, or when I visit their country. There are good and evil in all groups/ Please stay alert always.\n\nLet go and let GOD always.

Why do people think that other country would welcome them with open arm..think of the problem real canadian have in their daily life..too much dream not enough reality

This Religion is too dangerous. \nAlert:- To those people who call themselves Secular. \nIf you don't take Action Now in U.K.. U.K. will convert into Islamic Country. And you People will become Muslim. And You people Are gonna follow sharia Law. \nI support China That It Knows It's future Problems.

todays only racists make up about 99% of the left side because they fear trump will keep america the greatest country and democrats are traitors and teaming up with china to take over america wake up people!

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I STILL CHOSE TO LIVE IN THE PHILIPPINES. PEOPLE IN FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES FELT SO ENTITLED AND THINKING THEY ARE THE ONLY RACE IN THIS WORLD.

Excuse me sir, what is the website to apply? My family has been in the U.S. since my great grandpa built the railroads and my grandpa fought in the U.S. Army against the Nazis on the shores of Normandy but now tRump has made my home unsafe for my Chinese, German and Mexican family. People are rioting on the streets, Covid 19 infested cops are disappearing peaceful protestors. He had caused my country to become a failed State. So sad.

Canada abides by the 'first country of landing' international law. That means, you can’t shop for a country to take you in. You have to apply for sanctuary in the first safe country of landing. In international relations, Canada doesn’t consider the US a dangerous country. Canada's law REQUIRES that you apply in Canada first or not at all. I’m sorry that Trudeau's self stroking ego trip deceived people into believing they could just walk in and get a job. Getting a job is a whole other difficulty

To me, it looks like Vice is really trying to pull the emotional card to get people to sympathize with this man because he really is in a rough situation. But, he is in a situation of his own making. It sounds like he had not done any prior research about Canada before deciding to claim refugess status. Yes, Trudeau was not giving the full truth when he made those public announcements to the media. Yes, people (educated or not) can be swayed by words of leaders they respect. But, to think you can just enter another country and claim refugee status without understanding what that actually entails is very naive. Canada has very transparent laws that are easily accessable in a multitude of different languages. The provinces also have legal assistance for those who can not afford lawyers. So, the fact that this man was able to spent $15,000 when he is being portrayed as a low income earner makes me question his income, or if he was even aware that he could apply for legal assistance. And since he has a lawyer who has been working his case, I would like to assume that the lawyer would have said something about assistance.\n\nI really want to be sympathetic for this man and his family, because security uncertainty makes life extra hard. But, as I have had to live in more than one country due to the Canadian immigration system refusing my husband due to a very old DUI (which has set our life on a completely different plan than anticipated), I have a very hard time being sympathetic when I feel as though they did not reach out to educated themselves on the laws of another country. I am a Canadian who currently can't live in Canada with my husband of 3 years and I still don't hate my country. I respect the hell out of it (this is not to get into our historic treatment of BIPOC, which deserves it's own seperate time and is a bloody stain on our land's history.)

Okay. A lot of people here have no clue how the immigration system works both in the US and in Canada. “He should just have come here legally”. Well, most of the time a legal path to emigrating to the US/Canada just does not exist, and its getting more and more impossible to be granted asylum. In the US you can’t just apply for a work visa, you can’t just apply for a green card. You got to be eligible to apply for it. For a work visa you need a job offer first, you need proof of income and most of the time the employer will have to prove they couldn’t find an American to take the position. To get a green card you either have to get married to an American, invest at least $500,000 or try applying for asylum (which is almost impossible to get nowadays). ALSO to apply for asylum you need to be either inside the US or at a US port of entry. Try to be less “patriotic” and more empathetic. People flee their countries because of war, violence, cartels, gangs, terrorism, etc. They are desperate and want to protect their families and have a better life. If you were in their shoes and staying in your home country put your family in great harm you would have done the same thing. People need to stop judging, stop being selfish and start leading with empathy.

If they our and the govt is still letting planes in from china , in from virus hot spots, other countries it's not being prejudice worrying about catching co vid , getting sick may be dying , the govt , the tv media it's there fault they have put so much fear into the population , plus on CBC , global a infectious disease expert said 15 percent of the cases were from international essential travelers in two months 270 came to Canada, example say 20 confirm 3 our from international essential tavelers , about mask, how come cases our going up as soon as they make people ware mask, grocery stores, all workers and people keep touching them , letting them down for a second to catch there breath,, scratching there face , now it's contaminated , it's the same with the whole country , carry alcohol and a running water, carrying a sink around all the time to be 100 percent safe from wearing mask.\n, in hospital medical professional , even touch there mask , face too , get contaminated ,so how do you think 2 years and above can have that kind of control. The insanity .\nJesus Christ is the way truth and life ?❤️ peace.

I had immigrated to Canada last year in March. So far I have not experienced any racism whatsoever. God has been kind to me since I moved here. I found a job and a place to live. People greet each other irrespective of race and color. This is the best place to raise a family in my eyes. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS COUNTRY. God bless Canada!!!

Systemic racism in Canada is a lie\n\nThe GOVERNVMENTS ACTIONS are not the actions of the people.\n\nThis is sad. You morons dont realize what this will open into ALL OF OUR LIVES.\n\nTOTALITARIAN RULE .. which will remove this wonderful country we call CANADA.

Wow Canada. I guess you're just as bad as the states. Only difference is that you portrayed a picture of kindness. Now I know the people censored are representing your country but its saying quite a lot.

where do you start with people like this. She really believes that Canada belongs to her. Did you go to an all white Canadian White School. When you was a kid growing up. ? At what point did you start to notice that you was a different colour to other people. When you can answer that question honestly..... then you will probably realise your the one with the problem. \nIf we are to follow history it was the white man that started to travel and from there on it was nothing but destruction. \nI wonder what will be written on your urn when you pass away and you are no longer apart of this world..... \nIn this urn lies a true Canadian . Oh s#¥t you've gone back to the earth. \nWhat you don't seem to realise is all this crap is politics \nWhen someone says to me go back to where you come from. (I'm already there. ) and my reply is take your small mind and what you claim to be your country. And shove it where the sun doesn't shine because the world belongs to me. \nI don't think you'll understand what that means and here endeth the lesson. Drops the ? Oops

I think people don't actually hate Muslim they are afraid that whether they also have to leave from their homes as Syrian refugees. Also i think the laws in Islam is no way close to existing world and they must take initiative to change the laws inorder to gain the trust Muslims. And since they are the ones who are struggling they themselves had to take the initiative. All the countries around the world are doing their part in trying to trust Muslims, they cannot ask for more they must change their laws.\n\nAnd education in Islam should not be allowed in schools

It's not just Chinese that do this, people from other countries do it too. It's crazy, how they can do this and use Canada and the Canadians as cash cows.

Canada is full of racism and that’s a fact. There is not much of the difference with the States either. Only difference is that Canada’s racism comes in the form institutional and systemic racism. The states have a way bigger platform than Canada so their situations regarding racism will be covered more than Canada’s and also Canada hides behind the “it’s such a diverse country” statement to diverge from the issue of racism. Ask yourself this- Which country do you see a wider diverse representation of, concerning the people in power? In Toronto we just had our first black police chief(which was a big thing here) a few years back while in the States they’ve been having people of colour and many minorities in power. Representation of different ethnic backgrounds is an issue here but nevertheless the states still have a long way to go with racism. I love Canada so much but there is absolutely racism that this country will not bother to even acknowledge

these are extremist govt should stop them people in muslim countries vote have dogs and do all other kind there are fashionable womens too these are just some extremist which have created problem in muslim majority but i think there population is less as you can see the boy from masjid they have cause harm to muslim the tention is also growing between hard islamist and moderate muslims in muslim majority countries too

she is Islamic every time Islam is present this is what you see Americans put them in office and now they are crying what are we gonna do, Obama set this up he said he was a Christian to hide this takeover we all seen this coming and did nothing and now it is happing you want taxpayers who has non Islamic state reps and non Islamic Governors to help pay to fix your states I hope President Trump says no to all the dem states they have harassed republicans since Hillary lost ran their mouths with hate speech causing division , using terms like white privilege , not realizing how many live below the poverty level ask us how privileged we feel , ask us how we like watching people from Islamic countries sitting the white house as senators state reps or governors , we have seen what happened in other countries that took in all the Islamic refugees from Pakistan , Syria Somalia Ghana , we have 4 million people in this country who hate Jewish , Christian , Catholic , and all non Muslims, who have pretended to integrate , and say they will build a Muslim infrastructure in 2020 and plan to get rid of Trump and open the country for open immigration to , Syria , Pakistan , Somalia any and Islamic countries will be welcome

This is for everyone who says why don't you speak English when there in English speaking country well to you Canadian and other people why dont you learn other people's languages when you go on vacation hmm....? Stop expecting the world to conform to your will. I was in Madrid Spain and this Canadian couple didn't even bother learning Spanish when they spoke to us and ask for help. They expect us to conform to them when they are on vacation in a non english speaking country you can't have it both ways that double standard right there.

im a white guy.i like people of all color i hate racism and i think that happends in whole world on diffrent ways!!!but for sake of truth i would like these people to do same test in Africa,China or evry other country where some other races not cocasian are dominant.i think it would be the same thing!!!

you guys should also try going to the Philippines or any other Asian country and being white.. try and get a cab.. they will all ask you if you need a ride.. but you pay tons more than the locals would.. it works both ways and it's just normal... get over it... I rode in Planes staffed by people from China and they could tell I was from Texas.. Got treated very different.... some good and some bad depending on the flight attendant's views on The USA

It happens in every country of the world. It's the indoctrination born from the public and social media, of the stereo typing people according to skin color, culture, dress and monetary value. You never going to shake it until they stop portraying it in movies. That includes every action that people react to on social media. How people react to it will often be classed under the same influence peers have on our young teenagers.

I’m tired of people Defending refugees and immigrants they only come to this country for the free welfare cheque’s and the free family alowance cheque’s That’s why you see them with 15 different kids behind them more kids the more money there actually laughing at our government Makes me sick with this country is becoming we’re putting the immigrants and refugees before Canadians

I been here 12 years this august. Got my degree here, worked here, lived my entire adult life in this country. \nStill no citizenship!\nImmigration get what they deserve. You want people with money, Not people with potential.\nThey make me so angry. All the money you pay them for them to control your life until they decide you are worthy

Everyone is allowed to prefer living in a majority white country - except white people.

I live in Victoria, and take this. I worked in a place, where the manager was from Asia, and she treated me like hell forcing me to move to another department, claiming she doesn't need an assistant. NEXT day she hired an Asian girl. She obviously needs an assistant, but because she wanted an Asian with her, she did that. And now you go to that department and you find all employees are from her country. Talk about racism, it's everywhere. And yes when an Asian or a black treat others in a wrong way, it's still called racism. People only shout racism when it comes from the White while we do see racism from others, but we don't hear anyone condemning it

Middle east people love Canada peaceful country ??

why people is so ignorant, What I understand is the only people that can get asylum are socialist countries. People have been passing the wrong information. this is why is denied.

Remember this is First Nations Country, not European Country. Canada is a stolen Country. Do not tell other people to go back where they come from, because you should go back with him/her . This is the truth and truth hurts.

8:17 BEST BUY Hello people Just before the COVID 19 pandemic struck our Country, in the United States of America. My son and I were shopping at Best Buy. We had more than five or six different people ask if we needed assistance. My Son would say no thanks, and I would ask each one that did ask if I needed help, to help me. That associate would show me where to look, then try real hard to get away from me. This happened at least five to six times. All six times, I said yes. Finally, they stopped asking me and continued to ask my son. The reason my son would say no thanks is because he was just looking. I, on the other hand, had questions about what I wanted to buy. They did a great job answering all of my questions, however, when it came to buying what I wanted to buy most of all of the associates had either left the area or went home, because I could not find anyone when it came down to purchasing the items I wanted, only to find out what I wanted was made in China, They no longer carry the product, in their stores, or online. However, they still had the items on display; however, you just could not buy them. P.S. We are white.

It always disappoints me to see that because of the fact Québec isn't its own country people still ignore its culture and proceed to just show Canadian aspects (not Québec aspects). Therefore, Vive le Québec libre!\nAlso Poutine, Maple Syrup (sirop d'érable) come from Québec.

The rich elites who are running this country want Mexicans here because they are willing to work for cheaper wages than American citizens. It's all part of their plan to BROWN America and turn it into an empire of slave labor. Dont blame Mexican people blame the Rich greedy bastards running the show.. take the rich out of power and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!

Despite being smaller in size the US has a much bigger population the 3rd highest in the world with 329 million residents but Canada is the 39th most Populous Country with 37 million people

This is unacceptable in islam. This people need to be in jail. Islam teaches to follow rules of the country you are in as long as it doesn't lose a threat to you religion(forcing you to do unacceptable things in Islam) I don't know why this people think they have the power to change laws. If they are not happy in the country they can leave. This are the same people spreading false info about islam. And killing of animals that pose you no threat is haram and it's a murder.

Love for both countries peoples ??

Oh my god I live in England which is nearly one of the smallest country. its smaller than california but it has 20 million more residents then Canada\n\n\nOk i get it. Canada has a lot of its space using up natural habitats and islands so less people \nBut England surprisingly has 55 million people

bruh i live in a europe country and my country has alomost has smae p many people has cnda i have 21 million poeple oin my country

In my experience, what I've seen: anglophone Canada and Canadians are pretty much the same as the rest of the US. Francophone Canada: that's something different. People speak another language, they have a very different culture and they're more conscious about other countries and cultures.

Hello drew thank you for aspiring young people like me ,I also live in Arizona my dreams is to visit each country in the world

Hi Drew the United States of America is not the third largest country in the world but the fourth largest third country in the world is the People's Republic

I know a lot of history about Canada,they are very much racist just like any other countries where the pink European people captured. It is nothing new more of the black people in Canada who is complaining about the the

This is the price u pay by letting people in u country.

I’m a tell your people they don’t get paid back for all the things that they do God sees everything and one is coming to them is going to be dealt in a harsh way so just wait patiently they did Things for all over the countries around us people can’t stand them all over the world I take no parts of the United States I set apart from them this is not my home i’m just passing through.

Too much liberal idology of left wing people are responsible for this catastrophe. Instead of settling them in your country, help them with money and material and settle them in their own country in which they belong to.

Stop saying that Muslims need to go back to their Muslim countries, GREAT IDEA but first leave their countries alone first, stop causing wars, financial crisis and other issues in their countries and all of them will happily go back to their so called sharia law countries and guess what????? we will have a major problems in running many different systems in our amazing democratic countries such as the medical industry, just a fun fact..... most of our physicians and pharmacists are actually Muslims also they are the core to so many sectors in N-America and Europe...... I really want them to make that big decision and go back to their home countries and serve their homes just so you all would UNDERSTAND how important these people are to us and why our governments are actually accepting them and even attracting them to come and live, work here but they will never admire these great humans just becouse they are Muslims (history shows that we were the haters and terrorists against them, they were always trying to protect themselves and their land from us) but again we never really learn from history.........
