I was born and raised in Canada and still live here (my roots are in Jamaica and Tobago). The last 5-10 years has made me so sad to see what’s happened to what was once such a great country. Rent and housing costs are out of control… car prices… food… utility bills… this government (led by Trudeau) has almost completely eliminated the middle class. Now there’s only the rich and the poor. And let’s not even talk about the issues with forced vaccination and stripping citizens of their charter rights… I never experienced any real racism and have never thought of Canada as a racist country. I still don’t. It’s just this woke agenda that is being pushed recently that is dividing everyone. Also very sad to see. I used to think that I would retire here but now I’m not so sure…

Canada used to be a country of opportunity but now is becoming way to socialist and turning communist. Very sad to see 2 young people feel this way about Canada but I agree with them.

My Guy said maybe in 90 years time ??? it sounds funny doo, but it's some how sad how we have ran Away from Our Countries just because of Bad Governments, Even here in Europe i don't see myself going back to Nigeria to base, i only prefer visiting Families and friends Only

Well said I understand that my Brother whole family migrated to Canada and I observed their lifestyle all debt and I hardly see if they have enough savings sad to say. At any rate would rather stay in village and tend my own vegetable farm with livestock than living a stress life on city. That's my childhood dream to work in US or Canada but when I became professional and started earning travelling most of the time domestic and international routes I realised that I will be on my own rather than slave or employee for the rest of my life. All the best to your channel.

Canada is like that delicious mouth watering burger poster that you see everywhere but when you actually order that burger it looks nothing like the poster and you end up paying double in comparison , it is all about advertisement and how to lure customers, sadly it is actually about human lives here and how it permanently affects them.

newfoundland here. sad to see it at 9.

I hate to say it but it's true... I live in windsor ontario Canada, when we were kids it was like that, im in my 40s in the 80s and 90s we played outside whatever we wanted. it all started with internet becoming big with social media, and I'm guilty of the video games, them as well as soon as we got Nintendo as kids my parents would make us stop and go outside, but as we got older u started seeing it less and less until where it's at now no kids playing outside very rarely I do see it in the summer but it's very true it's very sad

I’m sad to see Manitoba here spoken of so sadly. I love living here. Yes there are mosquitos in the summer, and extreme weather. The home values make the province very very livable. Those working in trades make more and spend less than those in many provinces (and states). Winnipeg has a great art scene, lots of sports, etc. yes, we do have a high homeless & jobless rate. We also have a very high Native American rate, which has its own historical struggles.

Sad to see these people

Each European country has its customs and values, it’s sad to see them fade away and be replaced, in my biased opinion, with more primitive cultures from the Middle East and Africa. Some practices these regions have are quite disgusting and disturbing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all pro immigration, but I believe if you go to a better country, I say better because why else you would leave your country, then respect and incorporate that culture, don’t bring your garbage with you. If you can’t comprehend free speech and democracy, then fkng go back to your sht hole!

It's sad to see that people are is these situations . I think Canada will need to figure out how we deal with displaced people especially those entering from ?? illegally.\n\nUnfortunately the amount of misinformation and lies in media don't help in providing any clarity for displaced people .Canada will figure something out . We have always found a way to have a ❤

A little sad to see Manitoba last, but thank you for mentioning Churchill as the only thing Manitoba is best at! Polar Bears. I’m proud to say it’s my home town. \n\nAlso I highly dispute Quebec being the best province. They get soooooo much of Alberta’s money in equalization payments from federal government. \nThe excuse you had for Alberta’s economy being tied to oil is the same for the entire country.

I can’t say I agree with Quebec as number one, tax rates are huge when you factor in property taxes, car insurance, plus they have the most expensive gas, outside of NFLD. The people are mostly rude when it comes to those that cannot speak French (yes I’m unilingual English not by choice, my hearing is bad). In support of my opinion, I have travelled (camping) in every province and territory except the Yukon. I have met some amazing people kind, friendly helpful, sadly I cannot apply that to Quebec. I wish this would not be the case as there are many parts of the province I would love to go see.

Ashir Azeem bahi Really agreed with your positive Thoughts \nReally so Sad to See Pakistan Justice System Condition of Poor People's\nAlkah Pak Reham karey\nAmeen \nRegards\nAtif Shafique

Kinda sad you’re not coming to Houston. I’d love to see y’all live.

I saw the notice about the tour yesterday, and was sad to see only a few Canada shows, none of which are near me.

Yeah nope thats pretty much Canada.\nHappy to see shows in Canada, sad none in Montreal but can't have it all~

I know you from the channel called: Mango tango and i know you won't see this but you have made my childhood, you have always been there when i was sad, and i just have to say thank you for all of the memories.

Nobody touched the politics in Canada. I guess, it is the #1 reason to leave Canada. Both leading parties Liberal and Conservative equally irresponsible in taking decisions, they care only about staying in power, no solving real, tough problems. \nThe education in schools is too basic. In many cases is incomparable with education in other developed countries, Asian, for example...\nThen after....another disturbing tendency- radical liberal education- \nsexeducation in school - fluid gender identity theory. \nGovernment tries to do ratification of some very controversial laws about changing gender (sex) for kids from 12 years old without parents's permission. I found it is too radical, too dangerous for kids feature. \nThink one more time, would you like to raise your kids in a such political atmosphere? I think is it the most important question! I am so disappointed in Canada. So much worries for parents and confusion for children. We ready see some sad \nresults.

Great video, sadly I have seen cases where people migrate seeing only the rosy picture instead of proper research.

wow amazing so true this made me sad too ? I came to Canada when I was 9 years old with my father and sister so in some ways I was young so it was easy in a way for me, but as I got older it hit me being Spanish dominican ?? the culture different it's quite obvious, you're absolutely right people stick together in their own Community or culture, and is kind of hard to make friends, I know Spanish people here in Canada Toronto but they seem to stick to themselves and you were to think because I'm also Spanish that would have been easy for me to talk to them, but is not so sadly, without offending anyone Canada is not for anyone, you gotta be strong, Brave, quick, and smart. Credit matter alot here in Canada or you're nobody, having reference matters a lot or you cannot get anything done, the level of education matter alot here in Canada, and many more.. I can go on but there pros and cons like every country, but in all honesty I don't see myself living here forever I'm planning to move.

its very sad that there is racism against Indians in America but its very good to see that these things are looked down and called out to be sad and criminal.

Its so sad seeing a lot of OFW's are being looked down because of their job in the country they are in.

Sad to see a Canadian being racist towards an asian.. A Filipino to be exact...

Many Lower Class U.S citizens who do want to move for better job oppertunites for skill working who want to move to Canada. There is an issue for many. That is Canada is backwards on the helping those with disability and getting assistance or help for any disability. Those coming to Canada if husband, wife or child has a disability they will discriminate against them, especially if the person was on SSDI or SSI. If your husband/wife, fiance/fiancee has disability but you have duel citizenship between U.S and U.K they make it hard for prospective significant other that is on SSDI or SSI from coming to Canada with you and see them even if they were Self-Employed in U.S as a financial burden. Many I know have dealt with this stigmatizing by Canada over a disability significant other so they live in Canada but work in U.S to keep from Financial struggle Canada puts on them for daring to fall in love with a disabled significant other reguardless where the disabled significant other is from which is very, very sad.

When people act like this, they see something beautiful in you, and they really don't like themselves. It's sad.

Some people went and was successful.... But that's ratio 1 to 10... It's so sad to see children here.... People need to watch this to learn their lessons and never emberk on such journey

I myself am a genuine student with good academic background and all but denied twice for study permit. Sad to see such people getting what they don't deserve.

See racism just doesn't happen in America, it happens in Canada as well! It's actually worldwide! It just a sad and unfortunate thing that only happens to us people of color.

It is sad to see the results of this test however I believe that discrimination runs much deeper than just colour of skin and or ethnic origin. I would love to see a similar test done that shows how disabled persons get treated not just by the general public but also how they get treated by those of authority such as police forces.

I live inn manority erea every day i deal with what people dont like to talk abought im 61 im white i get called names daily i see racism and violence all the time it makes me sad to see these people that are demanding respect do the same thing they complain abought abought\nI fotunate enoough to have good freands of all races that found the same truth i did \nRespect is earned

Sad to see, really sad to see. We're all people. Just because there is 1 bad apple, not all of the apples are or will be.

Damn this is sad. It's sad to see kids caught up in situations like this. Sometimes makes you think, to just stay in your country and fight like hell to make it better for your future kids. Idk , but I'm sad to see this family like this. Wish I could help them all.

Races have not really surface until then DT got into the office that’s why everybody want to come out with all their races they been holding it for a long time because he gets on Twitter and see whatever he wanna say if people follow right behind him if it’s OK with DT to say on Twitter thin people go ahead and follow right behind him and say it because they think it’s OK but it’s not it is sad that DT think that he’s not doing anything wrong he got to realize that he’s in all disease setting a bad example for everybody I don’t care what race you are DT sets a bad example for everybody and me a big example for everybody and it hurts me to my heart to see that out of my 50 years and never seen so much hate people bring out in this world when Obama was the president you don’t see people out there hate hate hate hate hate hate surface in so DT got into this and that’s the truth that is the honest truth

So sad to see that the majority of the comments are very ignorant towards systematic racism in Canada which indeed exists

Definition of Defund: prevent from continuing to receive funds.\n\nLet's call this what it is. A movement to abolish police. I'm a POC and it's sad that so many are blinded by hate and stupidity, to see what's going on.

The sad thing is that I wanted to move to Canada thinking that things is different. Am I surprised to see that things isn’t......HELL NO!!

As a former best buy employee for 3 years, I can confirm they enforce a 10 foot 10 second rule. If a customer is withing 10 feet of you, you have 10 seconds to greet and share your name with the customer. This is two fold- yes, to help reduce shoplifting, but also to encourage sales. This is something I share and reference with my sales team in a different setting now, however, I can confirm as an experienced sales person, the technique works to achieve both outcomes. It's super sad to see it being used for the wrong purpose in this clip. I think it shows a lot of racial bias. I'm curious what ethnicities the employees were that approached each shopper.

I live in Las Vegas 40s I have been followed plenty of times I own a business so no need for me to steal. I have seen white people in stores stealing but the people following me in the store ARE so IN behind they can’t even see it’s the white person stealing. Sad?

It is so sad to see the rasit people are coming out now .

Canada has sold it's native culture out for the third world. Sad to see Christian and European culutre being dryed out from Canada. This will only get worse in the years to come.

What has happened this is a Christian country NOT a Muslim one if we did something like this toward Muslims we would be the worst type of people imagineble we would be called racists and all sorts and no wonder why some people think that violence is the way because the British police are too incompetent and too scared of being called a racist now the days of Thatcher and Winston are gone British are being walked all over sad to see it's happening under our ?! When are we going to wake up and fight for our British values WakeUp!

Wonderful. \nI’m from Canada. Thanks for posting from Canada. I’ve visited the USA many time and I love. I’ve been to Arizona, sad I didn’t meet you. Stay safe and hope to see many more videos

sad to see this happen. luckily it's not everyone.

I feel for Mark and Leeland. I think it would make me very sad to see that kind of confirmation. ?

I visited Canada as a truck driver, and you can see racism in all levels... it's so sad,.... we all are a human beings.....I LOVE YOU ALL.....❤️

As an African American it was heartbreaking seeing Leeland going through all this especially when he went to the Super-mart bug pharmacy store or whatever it's called. It's grows from you being calm, to paranoid, then full on anxiety knowing that you are being followed or watched. Then there's an underlying feeling of anger and you keep telling yourself to relax because you haven't done any thing wrong. I've experienced this many times b4 especially when I was younger or go into a store with my younger sister who is 17, I am 27. There's solidarity in knowing someone else experiences this as well and understands how you feel, but it's sad as well because no one should experience this.

Their are two kinds of people in this country, the Racists and Da Brudas. No matter what color you are You will always be a Bruda to me. sadly some don't see the same way I do.

Sad to see my country destroying itself by importing the 3rd world. Disgusting biased reporting too. :(

The Canadian people dont want immagrants living here. They are not welcome!!! Pei is full of immigrants. Its so sad. I feel like im living in a foreign country. Why cant the government see whats happening. The people living among them notice how awful immagrants truly are. They are rude and they are taking their religion and beliefs with them. Its scary. They have no respect. The people are tired of immigrants. We are taling a stand. If you are a immagrants. Stay away!!!!!! Not welcome and never will be. Wake up government. You want them living here then come live with them because we dont want to anymore!!! Stay away.
