Come visit Province of Quebec! Montréal, Quebec City but you should also go visit the giant dams far north, which most of us haven't done.

Moving from ?? east coast to Alberta ??, it has rarely occurred to me that Canadians are really nicer.... Actually Edmonton is the first city where I heard both the N word and homophobic tirade. It also has a large share of rude drivers

As a Canadian-American I can only say the majority of Canadians are not nicer as the big cities such as Toronto are terrible but people in more suburban and rural areas are generally kinder than in the states

Every time I do up my shoes and get the loops just right in comes the City News squad...

It seems that people conflate individual acts and experiences of racism with systemic racism. If the police stop and question me because I match a description - that's not racism, that's just inconvenient. Now if the officer said - hey according to city by-law blah blah blah, you're under arrest for having blue eyes *that* is systemic. There is a written on the books law treats me different from others. Systemic racism and flawed personal bias are not the same thing. The former does not exist in its literal form and (i'm very sorry kids) the latter will never go away completely.

I live in Toronto Canada, biggest city in Canada that have the most mix nationalities, All my neighbors are welcome in my home.

Based on Past experiences ? I worked for a Management Company in a City as a Painter. Alot of the apartments were destroyed by Renters.

Its funny when they bring up pot and say that it benefits whites when in reality its not. Come to the rez were I live near and you will see so many pot shops but when a white person wants to open one up in the city its a big deal. And the government won't allow them to open up a shop. Its unbelievable how people are so blind to see that the true racism in Canada is not between white or black but between French and English. You get paid more if you know French, its mandatory to learn French in a city that maybe has ten french canadians, look at how much more Quebec gets represented, if Quebec does not like something then it never happens, Quebec can ban people from wearing religious icons that are not catholic yet the government allows this. You may not like it but its true its all about the big cities and Quebec here in Canada.

Should have done Quebec City. disgraceful here

Okay, so really no one is going to address the city named after the female anatomy?

The more liberal a city, the more racism exists! got it?

This is nice to know but I still want to move to one of my favorite cities in Canada. I've had enough of visiting and hating to leave and the US, well, I'm pretty much over it.

That guy said you would earn Maximum 10 thousand in India??,nice joke.There are many nice cities in India as well,even small towns in India are good to live.Starting a business is much easier in India because of easy availability of labour and a big market.

City really has a lot to with it. I’m a Hispanic in Houston, Texas, one of the most Hispanic places in Texas, and I’ve never really felt uncomfortable or felt like people have any prejudice towards me, but I didn’t know racism was still a thing until I was 19, so I may be super oblivious to these things still

okay so the city named Regina? I wanna pay my respects to whoever decided that name lmao.

the most racist part of Canada is Media and education. you don't see 1 minute a week a program for immigrants or even native Indians on any radio or TV of 99% of Canadian cities.\nonly recently in Toronto there is this kind of program.

The more west you go the more rasicm there. Go to Toronto or Montreal. Really if you find a diverse city in Canada it’s not that racist. IF YOUR ANYTHING EXEPT ASIAN IN VANCOUVER DO ME A FAVOR DONT GO!! And if your a native in Canada honestly move out to like Australia. It’s sad but you have to deal with racism everywhere.

Market place always keeps it gangster I love it Regina the city that rhymes with fun

I swear as someone with brown skin, the Best Buy thing happened to me literally every time I have walked into one. And I have been in several best buys in several cities.

Victoria overall seems to be a pretty good city..

Okay who in their right mind name a city after a female genitalia. Wtf

I am now drawn to the city of Regina for some reason after hearing how it's actually pronounced.

This city looks more like Africa and the middle east.

Friendly? Polite, perhaps. You have to love the reserve of Canadians, but they're not as engaging as folks in the States. Furthermore, while Canada is perceived as friendly, when it comes to cities, those in the Southern US consistently rank among the world's friendliest and most polite. Many, of course, can be violent. Also, are you serious about the shared tipping culture? And the bit on service? Your vid was solid and magnanimous, but on those points you missed the mark. Badly.

In Canada there will be low key racism and I have been called the world n- word many times in Toronto but only by Latino Americans, twice by a Mexican in my school, once by Peru guy then by a russian and a vietnamese. But never by a Canadian. In Toronto you will likely face more racism because it's multi cultural than any other city. But you will face racism by people who are non Canadian but more from other countries that have not accepted different races.

So... I have two daughters that were in the same high school in a town called Port McNeil. One, older and european descended and the younger, indigenous. My older daughter would frequent the local grocery store for her lunch regularly. When her younger sister began attending the same high school, she decided to join here sister at that store for lunch. Understand that my older euro daughter had been doing this every other day for the last year without incident or being approached once. The day she showed up with her sister, they were accosted by a woman who’d been “stocking the shelves” in every isle they entered and told, “you have to leave, I have better things to do than follow you around for an hour!”\nMy indigenous wife wanted to prove to me just how prevalent this was by asking me to stand an isle away from her in walmart in a near by city and sure enough, there was a person arranging the shelves a few meters away from her. This happened over and over. Shopping while indigenous is a thing.

Um That's a too good . I will come canada city for college study . Is that good ?

.....what about when blks discriminate against other blks? Based upon where they grew up...the suburbs vs the inner (city)/ghetto?

Very well done movie. I live in Toronto,multicultural city. I was very suprised that in contemorary life of Canada the racism would be possible to be present in such tolerant country as Canada is in comparison with nationalism in USA. Especially the story of lady who owns the restaurant shocked me. . . Very sad.

What city is that?\n0:55

At least two more differences between the US and Canada (I'm a Montrealer myself with American-born parents):\n\n1) When going to the different parts of Canada, they feel that much more different from each other (in the buildings, highway signs, etc.) than the different parts of the US. For example, British Columbia feels like a foreign country compared to not just Quebec (the most obviously different province in Canada) but also compared to Nova Scotia or Manitoba, whereas Washington state or Minnesota is less different than Pennsylvania or Massachusetts.\n\n2) Native Americans (or First Nations, as they're called in Canada) make up a way higher proportion of the Canadian than American population, though less so percentage-wise in Montreal or Toronto or even Quebec City, and they are thus much more in the consciousness of the average Canadian than the average American.

Look at the towns and cities of both Canada and the USA. Can y’all tell the difference?

Canada has always seemed to me to be a lot of the same of what's here in America. And from the pictures I've seeing it looks a lot like any town in the US. Make their big cities look similar to the big cities we have here in America.

There’s really only 3 big cities in Canada, Toronto Montreal and Vancouver. Which are completely different than all of Canada. Toronto is very similar to London England. Whereas Montreal is really similar to Paris. Not so much in architecture, but in terms of people, life, style, slang. Lots of people in Toronto listen to toronto artist and UK artist as well whereas Montreal residents listen to their Montreal artist and French artist from France. Most of the similarities here are actually not like any American cities. America to us seems really “white” there’s not lot of diversity there either. Toronto is so diverse, People from literally everywhere its so nice to see. Our Prime Minister also a lot better looool

Ngl but my city Windsor, ON has won several awards for its pizza. So I guess Canada beats US here too!

Hello from San Francisco. The thing I love about Canada is how peaceful it is, even the big cities are peaceful. I have been to Ottawa a couple times and it was awesome

2:34 Sarajevo EYOF my city

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 ???????????

My personal take is that Canada is safer, friendlier, colder, and the system is less corrupt, whilst the U.S. is bigger, more influential, and more fun if you live in a major city.

Poutine, man, I LOVE poutine - want to go back to Canada where I went last year along with New York City and poutine is one reason I’d go back to ??

1:38 what city is that?

Why no mention of these so called refugees flying over all the other possible places of refugee status.are they not supposed to stop at the closest santuary places and wouldn't that in fact be new york seeing new York is in fact a santuary city?

i am muslim islam.. if you dont like the anti muslim then why you insist? go back home and banned that city too.. its simply as that

TRUE STORY : first time i went to Costco, i was ignored and rude to. Finally, i asked why am i being ignored? He apologized and offer to assist me. I told him I'm interested in on a membership and the city credit card. He bluntly told me, he doesn't think I'll get approve for the credit card. I asked why? He said because nobody ever does. I replied, i am not a NOBODY! He said please be quiet and complete my application profile. He did just so. He was genuinely shocked, when i got an instant $4k approval. He apologized again and asked politely what my credit score was. I told him 797 with an 7% debt to racial. He started kissing my butt to the point i felt even more uncomfortable because the love was growing beside me. I HATE BEING PROFILE. I'm going to make a couple youtube video to go to a few of my experiences

Every country has racism. Every city in Canada and USA and Mexico and every other place.

Please, keep not telling that statistically, minorities are being followed more in stores because they DO steal MORE. I had an acquaintance who was a monitors security agent. Reports are just staggering. Let's not specify too that Toronto got now more gun shootings than New York and many other U.S. cities, all commited by ethnic minorities, thanks to immigration, but don't let the facts get in the way of your rhetorical lying propaganda.

Me being an international student in Montreal some times feel the opposite way people don’t follow me they actually pretend to ignore and talk less bcuz I don’t know French and and I m a brown beard guy lollllll.....but I never mind ...........though 90 percent of Canadians are really polite people at least that I could say after 10 months in this city

Racism exists with other races as well that hire their own. White is not the dominant culture or ethnicity in some large cities in Canada and those people are hiring their own and not blacks. Every race discriminates against blacks as sad as it may sound. It’s not just blacks. Some bank branches , offices and stores have all south Asian people working there

Canada hypocrisy is the Cities and the government of Canada, which come from England, because this country is won by England!!!! Very deganruse!!!!

We all know under this trudua's liberal government whole immigration system run on fake documents and scams:(.it was happening before 2014 secretly and now it is happening openly by Chinese and Indian immigrants and it is quiet visible in cities like Vancouver and Toronto. All of the businesses provide fake job letters to get them work permits and get a permanent residents.hopefully government become a bit strict on immigration and stop all of this mess.
