If these Muslim women do harm to you, you can not identify them because not only is their hair covered, even their faces are covered. I personally feel uneasy when I am with individuals whose faces and heads are covered up whatever their religion is. They can see my face and hair fully but I can not identify them because they hide their faces, hair and whole body behind the nikab and hijab and burka. It seems as if they are always undercover or involved in something covert because they hide their faces and cover their whole body ,What you see are only their eyes. It is very disconcerting. If these Muslims want to practice their religion freely without anybody telling them off, they should live in MUslim countries and not in Canada, Europe and USA where society is mostly secular with Judeo-Christian heritage.

Implicit bias is ridiculosly commonplaceAlot of people have it and if you dont check it you could be discriminatig without being aware of it.Like the doctor deciding who to treat first and with what medicines, or the HR manager picking out resumes to shortlist or award the job to or the judge passing senteces .The search has shown that there is strong bias at play in these scenarios.

Years of political correctness where faceless bastards with no purpose in life have empowered this radical shite... And now because they're in such high numbers the political ponces will prostitute the British way of life & values for their vote... The sharia shite has NO place on this island and those who are in support if it's values etc have NO place in a British society... There are clear examples elsewhere in the world against this ideology.. A lesson to be learnt.. I'd waste NO time in shipping their radicalized arse off this rock... NO human rights... a clear message.. either fit in or Fuck off.. The hatred within this group is evident.. A hypocrisy without parallel.. \nAnd thanks too all those bleeding hearts we now have a fucked up nation where rights are abused and the rightful are marginalised...

İ am muslim and İ agree with you in Some points. \nAll the problem are made People,who was born as muslim but dont know even what is it. What is islam. They are cultural muslims. Not as Koran says. KORAN says THAT SOMEONE WHO FİGHTS AGAİNST YOU, YOU FİGHT WİTH THEM ONLY ON THE WAY ALLAH..its like protection. Not attack. \nİf you want to give your own thought. Search about all the provisions of Koran. Learn after argue about it. PROPHET MOHAMMED SAİD THAT CHRİSTİANİTY BEFORE CHANGİNG WAS TRUE RELİGİON AND THE WAY OF LİGHT. But Allah send Koran because of CHANGİNG in Bible. Please Read Koran and Bible. And compare. İt is for you life. İt is way of life both worlds. Religion is not just aktivity or Something. İt is the life. Without knowing how to live. There is of course possible all this difficulties. \nİ dont hate true Christians and other People. But if someone see me enemy because of my religion, İt is interacted. İ Should protect my Holy Book, my Religion, way of Allah. And ONLY because of that reason İ can fight not for another. \nPlease Read the life of Prophet Mohammed and Ali , Hussain \nSee their lifestyle. After write me what you want. \nSee you in Judgement day! \nİt is my number +994552560469

She doesn't feel safe?????? Really???? You're in the safest country in the world which is being ruined by the mass immigration. You're safer than you'll ever be compared to the countries where you come from. Dress how you wish, but remember you're in Canada - and we have a culture too so when you separate yourself , isolate yourself, and don't integrate into a Canadian culture of course you're not going to feel the same. Why do we even give these issues so much energy and power. Its not Harper that is telling women what to wear - its your Islam society and culture that tells you what to wear. Hence, why outsider women can't visit and wear bare skin in Islam countries without shame or even punishment.

RE: Canadian healthcare, my wife broke both her hips in 2017 in two separate falls, she was admitted immediately to hospital without delay and operated on the next day (half hip replacement), after physio and occupational therapy she was discharged and provided Homecare, 16 times per week plus weekly Day Hospital. Our cost for both operations was roughly $160.00 for parking spots for me so I could visit her and about $140 in Tim Horton doughnuts for staff. The system does not have enough of certain types of specialists thus wait times for those specialists, and there are wait times for elective surgery. The system has not really been reviewed since its inception in the 1960s but making significant changes is the third rail of Canadian politics and a hard look is justified after 70 years. Re: illegal crossings; The gentleman in the video has a problem in that the US and Canada have signed a “safe country” agreement and neither will accept refugees from the other as both Canada and the US are deemed “safe havens”. He crossed illegally, if he had crossed legally he would have been immediately turned back at the border but he clearly entered the country between border crossings and was likely arrested and released on recognizance but not returned immediately as the agreement is silent on illegal entries (yes, seems a touch strange). As many people are leaving the US for Canada the system is overwhelmed. Tent cities have been set up in Quebec and public housing used in Manitoba to house illegal immigrant pending processing - those with criminal records are held for deportation. Canada has accepted roughly 25,000 Syrian refugees from camps in that part of the world. These refugees were first vetted by the UN then Canada. These refugees are completely different from the people crossing the border illegally from the United States. This pales to the 75,000 boat people accepted after the fall of Saigon. Canadians have been generally accepting of refugees but wants the process guided by the rule of law. Immigrants are a separate from refugees and the rules governing their entries into Canada are different.

I'm an immigrant and I wish I didn't leave my homeland and immigrated to North America! I'm not saying that in a bad way, but we immigrants suffer a lot when we leave our original countries to live and work abroad! I spent the last 25 years of my life unhappy, alone, lonely and without family! When I talk to my family back home, most of them are living happily while I'm suffering here! You might say, why don't you go back!!! My answer, after living here for 25 years, I don't feel I belong back home and sadly I don't believe I belong here either! \nPeace and love!

I'm 55 yrs old Puerto Rican who's lived in NYC USA my entire life, I don't nor I have ever dressed like a gangsta, never acted like one and always dressed casually decent, but every freakin time I wallk into any store I am immediately tagged as a potential shoppe lifter and its always by my own kind or african american, what I do to get even is I pull out a bunch of cash money and pause for a few seconds in front of the cash registers and count the money and walk out the door without purchasing anything

What, did he think he would be given a free ride? Does he actually think immigrating to a new country wasn't going to cost him anything? How many years did he live in the US? And now, in Canada for the last 10+ months, yet he can't speak a fucking word of English? \n\nNow he complains that the process is taking too long, yet, had he immigrated legally (as he should have), it would have taken FAR longer and would have to spend that time inside his home country...\n\nI really don't get his attitude, he feels as though he's entitled to immigrate to the US, even though he made absolutely no effort in doing so legally, made absolutely no effort into learning the most widely spoken language on Earth, so he became a criminal by illegally crossing the border and living in the US for years... Then, when he's about to get busted and deported back to his home country, he pulls the exact same thing, illegally crosses the border into Canada, taking the money he's stolen from the US with him, while STILL unable to speak either official languages in Canada where speaking Spanish is about as useful as a condom in a lesbian orgy, nor making any effort into actually learning said languages, and tries to claim refugee status? Refugee status for what? He's not fleeing any war or conflict, the only thing he's fleeing is deportation to his home country from the US because he crossed the border into the US and lived there ILLEGALLY, he's a fucking criminal... And yet, he STILL feels he's entitled to cross the border into Canada and thinks they'll welcome him with open arms...\n\nWhere do these people get the idea that they have the RIGHT to just enter whatever country they wish without having to go through the immigration process? These processes are there for a reason, we don't allow just anyone to immigrate here...\n\nImmigrating to the US is a PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT... Immigrating to Canada is a PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT... \n\nThe fact that this guy and his family have entered 2 countries ILLEGALLY and stayed within its borders ILLEGALLY for all this time, and in both cases, REFUSED to learn the language, and when he was about to be deported back, he fled and kept hiding from immigration officers... That makes him and his family CRIMINALS, and rightfully so... They should be found immediately, arrested and subsequently deported back to the US to face whatever charges, and then deported back to his home country... Period...

Share the story without a smile it’s weird ?she was explaining the slave tools way to normal ?

Trudeau was a panderer, he has lost all respect with everyone in Canada. And now it seems with people he petitioned to defend. Peoplekind would be better off without him. I voted for him because I believe in what he said, now I realize that his fathers name was his biggest asset and he is a pretty terrible PM. I'm not going to leave my morals behind and vote PC, but I won't vote for him again.

Lol they claim they wear it because of their choice. Try going out without wearing it and see how your men treat you for not wearing it. Big difference. Try it so we can watch the results

And just how exactly does he not yet speak english? It's not that hard. i learned Portuguese without a single class.

THIS IS A GREAT SHOW. I AM GLAD TO VIEW IT. BUT THEN...I AM SAD ABOUT THIS SHOW''S USE OF LANGUAGE WHEN DESCRIBING SKIN COMPLEXION AND ''''''''''''''ENSLAVEMENT'''''''''''''. Any, and all, and every human can be caught in that bind.\n\n[[[ me-too ]]]: I CAME FROM A LINEAGE AND ANCESTRY OF PEOPLE WHO WERE STOLEN FROM AFRICA AND BROUGHT TO THE LANDMASS THAT WOULD BE CALLED AMERICA AND THEY WERE DEHUMANIZED TO AN INTH DEGREE, NO-HOLDS-BARRED WHATSOEVER... WHATEVER '''''EVIL'''' IS CAPABLE OF DOING TO ATROCITIZE A HUMAN BODY WAS DONE TO MY ANCESTRY AND LINEAGE...BUT I DID LEARN THAT IT WAS NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR SKIN COMPLEXION....THAT CAME LATER AND IT HAD A SERENDIPITOUS KIND OF ENTRY INTO THE LARGEST TRANS-CONTINENTAL '''''SLAVE TRADE''''''------NO!------''''''ENSLAVEMENT TRADE''''' IN THE LAST 500 YEARS OF MODERN HISTORY. BUT YOU SEE....THAT IS THE POINT. THIS HELL ON EARTH WAS JUST ONE PERIOD OF ATROCITY LIKE.\n\nSO. THE POINT IS; right now.....right now....it has been said there are as many as: 200,000 to 4 million people held in bondage in America and forced to behave and act like something called a ''''slave''''. The people are beaten and starved and raped and cut, and all such evils to force them to give up their ''''personal will''' and admit wholeheartedly that they are a '''''slave'''''. And this is true for millions of years or hundreds of thousands of years in ''''the humane experience'''' all around the planet Earth. Everywhere. And, by all people. Enslavement is something our ''specie''' will do to each other but usually on a small scale....not in the millions for centuries. And the people have all kinds of complexion. \nTHERE IS A LUCRATIVE INTERNATIONAL '''ENSLAVEMENT TRADE GOING ON RIGHT NOW'''' BUT WE CALL IT ''''TRAFFICKING''''' BECAUSE EUROPEANS ARE ENSLAVED IN THE TRADING AS WELL AS ANYONE ELSE..\n\nWHAT IS MY POINT? My point is:: my lineage and ancestry were not slaves....they were not slaves....they were ENSLAVED.....ENSLAVED.... ENSLAVED....ENSLAVED...ENSLAVED.\nWe can begin there to understand this atrocious behavior in the dys-human (evil) beings among us. We cannot fight what we do not know and understand. They were NEVER slaves; they aren't slaves today: they are enslaved. And when we join together and free them from enslavement they can start their lives without that banner still injuring their lives.\nTHEY WERE NEVER SLAVES; THEY ARE NEVER SLAVES: THEY ARE PEOPLE CAUGHT IN A BIND *in bondage* AND DEHUMANIZED TO AN INTH DEGREE BUT STILL THEY ARE A PERSON INSIDE WHO NEEDS TO BE SET FREE. (DON'T MARK PEOPLE FOREVER BECAUSE EVIL CAME UPON THEM.)\n --margaret opine, cultural anthropologist

The black guy couldn't even shop without someone asking if he needed help.

I don't know why it is canada's fault ? don't get me wrong, I understand the struggle that they have to go through but thinking that crossing over and having a balloon saying welcome home when its not yours is being a little ignorant. and trust me if I could kick out the 25 000 sirian that our prim minister let in I would without a tears.

You fled the richest nation in the world, for Canada\n What did you expect? \nCanada takes refugees from war zones not from NYY.. Canada doesn't just hand out money. Especially to people who think they can jump our border and our immigration process. There are plenty of people who spent a lot of time and work to earn their citizenship legally. How is it fair to anyone but you lol. Break the law pay the time. Don't come here without even spending a few hours looking into at least our laws ! Duh!

Living in Latin America is not that bad, well there are parts where you should avoid at all cost but there are places where you can have a safe decent life, most of you just say what comes out of your small little brains without ever even leaving your city your whole life. Its just that this people have lived and been so dependent from your system and in stretching their hands( beg) all this time that they not know what to do now. \n\nHe said that he wasted 15 thousand dollars in lawyer, if it would have been me I could have perfectly moved to lets say Costa Rica or Peru and still have money to buy land. But they really are addicted to this kind of life. I agree that the people in El salvador have made violence to sky rocket because they have not done nothing about it, they left gangs and violence to proliferate and now its just too late for them. But there is still hope in other places in Latin America.

he should keep goin north to alaska.. and than go back to mongolia.. where natives come from anyways.. or they should all go south.. to chile.. i doubt livin in chile is that hard without papers.. they are all indian natives anyway.. and its safer than centroamerica and mexico..

There are tons of successful blacks in Canada, not all of them are like Drake's dad wo goes to prison or runs out on his family. There are plenty of successful Jamaicans in Canada that are highly successful. Jamaicans and other of African Descent are doctors, lawyers, schoolteachers, engineers, IT REPS, mechanics, accountants, biochemists, cops, and so much more. That's because they have chosen to do the right things in life. Life is all about choices. People who are successful in life, are successful because they made good choices and good decisions early on. People who are a failure in life are a failure because they made bad choices early on and life and wouldn't listen to nobody and did what they did without any regard for the consequences. Choices. That's what everything in life boils down to.

After watching this I came to the conclusion that - sadly - our First Nations - are facing the worst discrimination of all. With regards to the testing of the woman wearing the hijab and the niqab I was pleasantly surprised that she got as much support as she did when wearing the niqab. I wouldn't approach anyone - man or woman - where I can only see their eyes. A man on a street wearing a ski mask scares me just as much as a woman wearing a niqab. Think of the Klu Klux Klan - their disguises were terrifying - worn to commit the worst kinds of crimes without detection - just as ISIS terrorists wear their masks. It's not discrimination - I just feel physically threatened by humans wearing disguises. I include clowns in that group.

If they've got nothing were does the money cum from to pay traffickers and were do they think they're all going to go Europe cannot take in every single one of these people and shudnt have or be expected too it just can't be done no room for them not enough money to support them which is wot most of them want we have our own problems to sort and our own people in need of help before we even consider helping others and besides we give enough in foreign aid every year were does that go if it was going to help these places they wudnt cum here why are we going without to pay billions to help other people in other countries it shud be coming here cos it's not helping them as far as I can see

I am sorry to make such a frivolous comment on such an important topic but the woman at 19:30 (Bev Ann?) is SO beautiful, like wow. \n\nBut on a more serious note, I think most of us have inherent biases to some degree (those who took these tests and indicated they don't have them - kudos to you). I openly admit I do too, and I think that's difficult to prevent if you've grown up without being exposed to a particular race or ethnicity, so I don't beat myself up about it. I think what we CAN do is make ourselves aware of our inherent biases and try to examine ourselves when we are forming impressions or making decisions about people and make a conscious effort to educate ourselves about and increase our interactions with people with whom we are unfamiliar. Ultimately, it's a fear of the unknown, so the more we know, the less we fear. I have my work cut out for me and I try to make small improvements every day.

If wearing a nikab or hijab or burka was a sign of respect and honor, we would all be walking around wearing bed sheets over our heads. That fact that only women are required to cover up is exactly why it is discriminating and a sign of male chauvinism by the muslim community and islam. Having grown up in the midwest of the USA, I find it offensive and oppressive to women to see them hiding under or behind a cloth garment. Talk to anyone who specializes in communication and you will quickly understand that there are many non-verbal communications from facial expressions that contribute to the way we humans communicate with each other. To suppress these facial expressions is like seeing without color and in black and white only. This is a fact of life and not open to debate.

mid stream politics has allowed the muslim crisis, the only answer is to outlaw the Islamic religion, Muslim's who do not like it can leave. its the only way to solve it without violence. Muslim people are welcome but they must realise that they cannot be allowed to change the western way of life. Islam is the only religion that dictates domination therefore on those grounds a ban is justified.

Oh great. This was posted on my birthday. Listen: i've lived here for nearly 15 years. \nFirst thing I noticed when I came here was the diner. Menu was pages and pages and pages. A plate could feed a family of four. \nGet a job with healthcare. It's not so difficult. Come on now. Obamacare has to go! \nCoworkers of mine can't afford it. \nYou are still far too liberal/socialist.\nOh, and right... i couldn't dare live without my Amazon Prime. \nHealthcare SUCKS in Canada. In the US it is GREAT.

I'd like to see'  all ' muslim women walk around in public without their veils , and see how their men will react to them without a veil in public ,and see for yourself who is really in control of islam religion,,, not the women ,,,

If the Muslims are fearful about living in Canada then they can move to somewhere else like Saudi which is the birth place of Islam without any excuse. Mohammed migrated from mecca to Medina for multiple different reasons , one of the major reason for moving is the Mecca was hostile for him for some period of time.

Bullshit, you can do all the nikab without islam , your nikab is nothing to do with islam, obviously you dont know islam is, read hadist and quran where women stand? even your prophet (pbuh) said women are stupid and 1 man equal to two women. You dont follow islam correctly.

on the same basis, you consider wearing g-strings and getting naked on the beach and jumping from one bed to another without preservation is freedom and good

This is how you can tell a good Muslim from the one's not to be trusted, those that play the victim and defend Islam, without separation of the radical Muslims want Islamic conquest. The Muslim woman that says she worries about what can happen to her by other Muslims are the ones that don't hide the truth and don't defend Islam.

I'm not from Canada, but I don't like this people to come to western countries to make a living without to get rid of their costumes that are not compatible with ours. If these people are coming by flocks and behaving bad. Then iate not them are the poletisian that are allowing these people to come over here and doing bad staff

Thanks CBC for allowing Asha Tomlinson to work on this video. This is for all Canadians, but most for Black Canadians in Eastern Canada. Cities like Edmonton in particular should be highlighted in this type of videos for their stand on racism. Most cities in Canada are becoming more progressive on racial issues, but Edmonton remains a frightening place for Black people. My message to Blacks in Western Canada is that nothing will change without a challenge. We must stop gossiping about how we are treated and let expose this disease.

they have created this back lash you can not blame the rest of society for there concern. they have not been a large muslim population denouncing terrorist groups you can not act like a victim without address why society has there concerns

Immigration without integration is invasion.

I am sure the Canadian govt. knows what is BEST for Canada or they would of NOT let them in , in the first place.  Maybe the Canadians love muslims.  I mean why would you let people in you don't like,  it don't make sense.  I think the Canadians love muslims.  I think Europe loves muslims. IF you don't like them, why do they all come pouring into your country. I think they all love muslims. Why would the queen and gov let these people into the country if the people didn't like muslims.  I don't think the queen or govts would do this without the peoples conscent.  I am sure the queen and gov will continue to do what is BEST for the peoples.  The queen is to be trusted. She is royalty.

is this actually more left propaganda making the Muslims the victims. funny how the stats show that there is increasing numbers of Muslims sympathizing with honor killings and suicide bombing. should we be openly allowing these people without question. please make real victims known

My advice to all Muslims convert to Christianity... You need to accept the Lord Jesus Christ because without Jesus Christ you will NOT enter heaven.....

My advice to all Muslims convert to Christianity... You need to accept the Lord Jesus Christ because without Jesus Christ you will NOT enter heaven.....

I am a muslim but do not follow Sharia or support extremists views in any religion really, Islam just happens to be in spotlight now but no religion, race or nation is without its faults and this video sums up the current situation to some extent.

Islam gives women higher status? Bull FUCKING shit! Women aren't even allowed to be alone without a male.

It's not the Muslims yourself, it's the religion itself that is extremely dangerous.\nI strongly urge people to read the Quran and Hadith, so you can understand for yourself as to why I say without reservation that Islam is a backwards, violent, misogynistic ideology.\nIf you read these texts, you will understand why the claim Islam is a religion of peace is a blatant lie

If a group or some iditoter do stupid as blaming you at Islam..Skyll not Islam 9/11 .. Without blame all the people from these countries = Countries Islam Irac,Iran,Sudan,Somalia.Senegal.Saudiarabia.Egypt,Turky,Pakistan.Djabouti,Bahrain,Oman.Bangaladesh.Afganistan.Aljeria.Marocco.Kuwit,Murutania.Kasakistan,Indonisen,Qatar.Mali.Singapor.Gambia.Syria,Asarbijan.Chechnian.Kasakistan,USbakistan.Malaysia.Bosnian.indian.Tanzanian.Turkministan.Albanian.Tunisian. Plame 9 // 11 of them .. But realaty you know the thruth . Your games and movies in the media = anti- Islam .. Islam is harder than the hardest in this world . Western media are trying to destroy Islam but you will only make it stronger Do not you get it .. Islam , Islam.Islam.Islam.Islam.Islam.Islam.Islam every day .. many who did not knew what Islam was became Muslims because of Allah and Median , Förtsätt..Media

I thought Canada was cooler than that. I guess I was wrong but I have visited here six times. It is better than America where police here kill you (Mostly black men) without penalty. U.S.

Contrary to popular opinion, racial profiling, whatever that means, is not illegal, and never was. There is no law against using race in law enforcement.Racial profiling is merely the use of race in the creation of a profile of a criminal. Given racial disparities in crime, an officer stopping random black males instead of white males is more likely to stop a criminal but police don’t do that. They use racial profiles to stop people in specific circumstances and there is always something more than just race involved. Of course, Comey said this in the context of a speech bemoaning law enforcement’s treatment of “disfavored groups.” But the unmentionable reality behind the sob stories about the likes of Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown is that the color of crime in the U.S. is disproportionately black. Thus local law enforcement, or anyone else who deals with street crime, will always rely on de facto profiling of young black males. And precisely because effective local law enforcement will inevitably lead to racial profiling.\nAccording to Attorney General Ashcroft, racial profiling was bad and illegal, except for when it was useful and legal. The explanation for all this: Attorney General Ashcroft wanted to be seen as doing something about “racism” without actually handicapping law enforcement officers.

while its unfortunate, i do in fact believe that without the hijab they would be attacked less

Bitches,do you let us to move without Neqab in Muslim countries?

The problem is that most people who like immigrants dont understand the concept of assimilation. I have no problem with immigrants who assimilate, but when we have so many illegals who enjoy the benefits of the American constitution, without learning English, who dont learn American History or economics, dont pay taxes and then send whatever money they make out of country. Of Course we should kick these people out. they should never be here in the first place. People not willing to assimilate should never be let into any country.

It was'nt the Muslims who found and built Canada nor created her economy. Their limited capabilities and views do not allow this.They are not capable of building a free society. They sought refuge and a livelihood in Canada free from threats of death, fear of imprisonment, torture, hunger and poverty. The aspect of Islam (easy oil money which is now beginning to run out) which made a lazy bunch of people even lazier and accustomed to an ignorant and arrogant way of life is what is causing a problem now.\nWomen who choose to wear a covering are the ones who believe that their own forms are either evil, evoke evil or just plain ugly and unsightly. Personally, I have seen scantily clad western women sunning themselves on beaches without inviting a second glance. It's the Muslims who are dirty minded enough to call this dirty. Ugliness breeds ugliness and the niqab. Muslim women who defend the covering - you are now exposed, so shut up.

Maybe some are but the rest are fed up with Canada just letting in anyone at any time without consulting the people.
