A compelling documentary, thank you. Why is it that black people continue to be so demonised and de-humanised? It is such a shame that follow Asians and even American Natives play such a role in perpetuating racism against African descent people, but I guess they have their issues of identity. Real shame nonetheless, but one thing at the time, we still have a bigger hurdle to overcome.\n \nOf course, it is still not easy to be a black woman, man or child today. Sadly our mothers are still crying for their children being killed or overly punished by the police institution, our kids are still targeted if not simply despised for being beautiful, bright, talented, lively and brilliant beings with deeper skin tonalities, and hair that speaks for us otherwise. It is still dangerous because there is so much hatred across the world against us as we are coming to understand. And hatred is unpredictable. It comes in different ugly shapes. \n\nAfrican descent people are institutionally exposed to a lack of opportunities based on race, leading to the disproportionate poverty levels in our communities, and poverty brings your far closer to crime. That should not be so difficult to calculate. We're faced with higher mortality and disease rates, covid 19 has rubbed that to our eyes, care systems medical world is in less favour and neglect black communities. On a day-to-day, I am so insulted about the security guard that follows me in the shop, it is so disrespectful and embarrassing, that makes me move suspiciously indeed, yet so low and ignorant I don't even want to have to confront the issue. \n\nI agree with the writer who writes about his experience (and shame?) of being a black man in Canada- the same is institutionally reflected in Europe and across the world let's not be naive, we're not welcome but they should know they have no choice. I believe what he really is trying to express is based on the fear of being a black man in a hostile environment, but we should certainly have nothing to be ashamed of. \n\nOn contrary, we should be very proud because we are still here, like any other citizens paying our taxes and playing positive roles in society by major. We have positive role models are everywhere, from the single mother raising her children with force and determination to the black father who teaches at a local school, from the black girl who's achieved top grades to university to the black young man who's been headhunted from the medical school. And all of us who are just trying. \n\nLook closely. While the media will continue to do its good job demonising and stereotyping us negatively, let's not forget that we are real people with real accomplishments who have always made impactful contributions to society. \n\nHere's the thing, we are admired, loved and celebrated because of the brilliance, talent, charisma, swag and wealth we bring to contemporary culture. Everyone consumes black culture, from the filler lip service to the quick fix tan, from rock and roll to hip hop and RnB music, to sports athletes to the amazing creators out there, no need to mention names. But, we also are doctors, politicians, judges nurses, waiters, carers, scientists, builders, bankers, entrepreneurs, employees or unemployed. \n\nSadly on a day-to-day, we are not viewed as equal people, with equal rights and needs, who, by large, just want the good for our children, our families, neighbours and indeed countries. STOP INSTITUTIONAL RACISM. We are real mothers, real fathers, real children who have a birthright to equal treatment, respect and human dignity, whether or not you choose to disagree.

INTERESTING, BUT I FEEL NO SYMPATHY FOR ORIENTALS. I HAVE HAD TONS OF RACIAL SLURS THROWN AT ME, AS A WOMAN BY THE RACIST, EVIL ORIENTALS INCLUDING THE RACIST FILIPINO. THEY LIKE WHITE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE WHTE, BUT TRUTH IS THEYDO NOT RESEMBLE WHITE, ALL ORIENTALS ARE DESCENDANTS OF AND RESEMBLE ESKIMOS NOT WHITE PEOPLE, THAT THEY WORSHIP. I STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THE RACIST ORIENTAL, TO AVOID IT THROWING RACIAL SLURS AT ME, DELIBERATELY SPITTING AT ME OR PHYSICALLY TARGETING ME AS IT HAS DONE IN THE PAST, LIKE TRYING TO PUSH ME DOWN THE STAIRS. KARMA IS FINALLY COMING BACK AROUND ON ALL THE COUNTLESS RACIST ORIENTALS AROUND THE WORLD, AMEN. GOD THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYERS.. THE QUIET, RACIST ORIENTAL IN SHEEPS CLOTHING CAN'T FOOL OR LIE TO GOD. I WATCH THIS VIDEO AND CELEBRATE IN YOUR MISERY, BECAUSE IT IS NICE TO SEE ANOTHER RACIST ORIENTAL ON THE RECEIVING END OF RACIAL SLURS THAT IT REPEATEDLY HURLS AT ME, A BLACK WOMAN.. YES, GOD IS GOOD, FINALLY JUSTICE.

This video will help immigrants around the world to know easily about Canada immigration process. Thank you, brother. God bless you!

I hate our immigration laws under the liberal Gov. They sabotage us regularly. The want 440 thousand more immigrants 2021 during unprecedented times here. We will be paying big when this happens, Plus all the e legal border crosser's. Trudeau has done all this for third world status. Thanks Trudeau, get a spine.

There is bias in the experiments having the presumption of being treated differently. I did a test going into different stores of the same name and I was treated differently. I also was treated differently by women compared to men. Younger individuals compared to older and depending on the section of store. I never look around to see if someone is around me and when I did start looking, people were there. Could it be we are looking for flaws in people? Society today is being taught skin color, gender and ethnicity are THE reasons you get attention from someone else. There are extremely rude and immorally questionable people in this world, yes. Thank goodness they are the few.\n\nWe cannot give them recognition by building societal rules around their behaviors. Ignore them and they will fade away.

Welcome to our NEW WORLD ORDER folks get out your wallets this is going to take so much of ALL of our money to stabilize the planet again thanks to ALL corrupt Governments for this.

There are Chinese citizens in Canada who is responsible for this . This is how they thank countries giving citizenship to them around the world .

Nice Video! You sound Canadian on this video... on some other video you seem too American, you got more cheese than a cheese pizza. But thanks for informing the world.

Thank you very much mr. Keean for your service to the world. Thanks to you, we have the possibility of seeing what the main stream media won't show us. Truly enlightening, thank you very much!

It’s just sad how this world still hasn’t got over the fact people can be from any race and be a good person or a not so good person. I’m thankful I was raised to treat everyone the same and to know everyone is the same! It doesn’t matter the color of your skin, your sexuality, nothing at all!!

Hello, I just watched your video. Three years after you made it. I hope you are still with us and a very belated Welcome. Many people throughout the world seem to have so many stereotypes about Americans. Whether it is good or bad there typically is some truth in a stereotype. Overall it seems like you are enjoying yourself and no matter what there is no place like home. I would think no matter what your current situation is you still miss Canada as I would miss the United States if I were to move to Canada. \nA couple things you mentioned in the video were not correct and as with anything there may be a little truth in the matter but yet still incorrect.\nThose who do not have health insurance are not charged or taxed $150 monthly. There is a provision in the affordable care act (ACA) that penalizes certain individuals who make above a certain dollar amount. The amount is either $150 or $300 for the entire year. I concur any monetary penalty against anyone for not having health insurance is outrageous. I could be wrong but I believe this aspect of the ACA was never implemented under President Obama and it was indefinitely suspended or revoked by President Trump. I also feel like I need to address your thoughts about the United States all about war. I believe the American people are like most other people and want peace and civility. The government and major defense contractors have differing opinions at times. Of course there is plenty of people who are war hawks but they are in the minority. Most of us are absolutely sick of war. We currently have been at war for almost 19 years. That's six complete world war 2's in their entirety. \nI think you were being awfully generous when you said obesity is on par with the rest of the world!! Unfortunately there is far to many fat people here and the problem is only getting worse because the media says be happy and proud you are fat. Celebrating obesity is absolutely insane and it sends the wrong message to young people. If a close one is fat of course I love them but I also tell them privately that they are a walking heart attack. It's more than OK to accept someone the way they are but as a friend or family member you doing them a disservice by not mentioning their obesity. \nI'm sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh or critical. I think it is a wonderful thing to share the world's longest border with such a great nation as Canada. I have always thought Canada was like the United States fraternal brother or sister. We are very much alike with a few beautiful differences that distinguishes from one another. It doesn't appear that you upload videos hear anymore but I hope you get the opportunity to read this. Thank you for coming to the United States and I love all my canadian brothers and sisters. Take care.

30 years ago was so easy... Thank God came then and give birth to my daughter in this beautiful world country Canada ? ?? I have my passport yaaaaa. Blessed by the Lord.

Guess what i am a muslim and i wear what i want and i do what i want and i go wherever i want and i beleive in what i want because this is my right and if you don't like that woow sorry to tell you that i don't care and this is only your problem not mine i am happy if you are not then you need to find something that makes you happy and please stay away from me i want to be safe physically and psychologically which are my rights too. So have a nice day and take care of your own business and thank you for wasting your time reading this and trying to reply and thinking to attack a muslim human (that's what people always do attack the muslims) I won't discuss my religion with anyone and i won't reply people have told bad things that hurted me soo bad so i don't get hurt anymore and i know what bad peoples will say so so keep your energy you will need it later for this day and rather then spreading hate and trying to be smart try to be a human first that will help you moore and have a good life people. loove you all ??

Dear video maker , it's nothing new in your life in Canada. Even people around the world including local people and local students are doing same . And it's nothing new to travel 2 or 3 hours in bus . People who stays in USA from ages are travelling same in car . Every students are expecting same life with them who are living in foreign from ages . Those people might had struggled more . Student has to understand before going on Student visa that with situations rather than keeping intrest in how to make money. 99 % students are interested in only money from day one .But foreign governments think that you have shown your financial documents, are enough for you to survive there even if you have no Job . And it's depends on the country, in which country you have gone and what is your qualification. If students go to UK or USA , thay might make little more money comparing to Canada, Australia or New Zealand. All students should understand before going to any country that only in USA AND UK country are the best to earn money and getting out money from there to india. Otherwise except these two countries none country is there in the world that you can make money there and send maximum money to india. Except these two countries other countries have made situation that whatever you earn there , you will have to spend in that country only. You can't save money to india for living good life in India. And it is good and thankful those countries where person after 18 years has go for job rather than being dependent on parents. And working in bakery with standing whole hours during job is not a new in those English country. They don't force to do that by law . This job is kind of that. Person has to understand job profile before joining the job . By English country law before you start job they will call you for induction and will explain what job you have to do . Life person is happy for that job , he / she can join the job . I think specially students has to look into positive things which in India students are not doing and thay have to do there in foreign countries. I am not trolling you but look into students life where local students in foreign are living and same. If you think this is struggling life then I can say this is not struggling life , students has to think first if they have gone for study or making money from first day. If you are complaining than my suggestion is that look into positive things and if you are just informing that it's good. Good luck

A Canadian Immigration judge will notice immediately two main things about this guy: 1- No English having lived 15 years in the US & 2 - No specialized skilled labor or higher education. If he ever gets asylum granted, it will be thanks to his kids who will eventually assimilate unlike he ever did and because Canada needs to grow its population that is among the lowest in the world at #43 with 11 per 1000. The countries on that list with lower birthrates than Canada are mostly small islands or tiny countries like Liechtenstein. Why? Because of the high cost of living and raising a child, #1 country is Japan.

Very informative, Thanks man. Do you know what's going on in the engineerinng consulting world in Canada?

We have to finish the southern border wall and thanks to the new world order we need a northern border wall. God bless America.

everybody in the world can go to Canada and have a free paid vacation thank you Canada

I hate the PM we have. Thanks to him we are a joke of the world. We Canadians do not stand with him. He is alone.

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...

It sucks than Latin American people can be accepted, we have to accept Americans instead and yeah they come and spend money but they come to spread their bad habits, deseases and more and just because we live in third world Countries, thanks for the labels USA.

Thanks for the upload because international information is valid. America is not the world but a combination of every world you can connect to and learn from. I am in Midwest, America.

Oh yeah, mainstream media: Let's cry some more over those poor poor victims. No no, not the dead people lying in their own pools of blood - victims of Islam. Yeah, let's cry over the poor muslims, let's cry over the religion of the perpetrators. Those poor people who are up to conquer the world with war and terror. They are of course the true victims here, because some bad bad westerners dare to ask questions. Thanks to Allah however we have to mainstream media. Working towards islamisation of the western world since 9/11.

Funny how so many liberals choose to lump Christianity and Judaism with Islam. Nice try. In fact there are NO Islamic leaders EVER who have spoken out against the extremes of their own.\nAnd the other two? How about Moses and Christ? Charlemagne ? Bishop Odo? Luther? Chesterton? C.S. Lewis? Adam Smith? Lincoln? Tutu? King? Uh-huh.\nOh and it was Mormons, Quakers, and the Amish who spoke out against injustice towards natives. And the old liberal axiom that religion 'causes' wars? Gee no shit huh? You mean compared to the secular record of warfare and that of pagan empires and atheist dictators? Gawd. Where would we start? Rome? Babylon? Attila? Khan? Two World Wars?\nAnd finally, thank you all on the Left for your constant search for 'harmony' and perfection. Total peace of course meaning lock-step and dissent branded as 'hurtful' or 'intolerant'. Indeed.\nAnd so an ideology that has given us Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez, the National Socialist German Workers Party, and countless others. Why, I'm sure the world greatly appreciates a form of mind that worships on the alters of the self and the state.

This is a religion of take over. Islam has had the plan to take over the world for over 2000 years, and is picking up steam lately thanks to the overly sensitive people allowing sharia to creep into Canada and all western countries.

peace be upon you christian brother thank you for your respect \ngoodnight and have a nice life in this world
