When American men in his age group are unhappy with where the country is going, we fight for our country. We don't flee. This is our home and while it will never be perfect, we stay here in good times and bad. He needs to be in El Salvador fighting for his country, not bringing his burdens to America or Canada.

I put good people to work. When they hover I ask them to help me shop. I get a personal shopper every time. They even help me pick out clothes and accessories. Hey, I turn a bad thing into a win-win for the store and myself. I mean they are there to help me, so why not.

I was born in Seattle and left to Canada (married) when I was in early 20's!  This then was a good change for me as Vancouver was a great city compared to Seattle, moved right downtown and had a blast so for a young person (then) was great.  Met some great people from all over the world and had health care, medical/Dental etc.... I worked in the greater Vancouver area for 8 years and it was tough, very strict, and did not help that I was from the states, white bread Canadian seemed a bit jealous that I was there, sometimes not very friendly.  The Europeans I met were actually better to deal with and I got along quite well with them.  The cost of living was about the same as in Seattle.  After about 8 years being in Canada and working hard I saw America booming and the Canadian dollar was as low as $.62 cents (in late 90's) so I took my craft from Vancouver and brought it to the US just across the border, I became much happier working in the States, I took a little bit of bs but not bad from some that I had a Canadian accent (go figure when I moved up there I had a twang) I really never left the united states I will always be American and I have been still working in the US for over 20 years and deal with mainly Americans on a daily basis from all over the State of Washington.  Depending on where you grow up or end up you should never see a border Seattle and Vancouver have more in common than Vancouver / Calgary in fact most Canadians don't care much for the other provinces.  After 30 years of being part of both countries, I can say that people are people both have great offerings and if you took the best of Canada and America to combine then we would all prosper, there is so much both can learn from each other.  Bottom line:I take the best of both worlds and what they have to offer, yes, I have found less expensive goods in Canada than what they cost in the states.  I have seen it from both eyes, and if you cant be open culturally then stay away.

there is racism and prejudice everywhere. on every level no matter gender, race, religion, culture. etc. no matter where you go. but if these guys take a trip to any of those corrupted third world backwards countries they would see how good they really have it. us foolish americans canadians dont know how good we have it. we are living in the freest country nation and society ever seen in the history of the world. at least our country creates new laws every year to make our people feel safe. but other islamic countries continue following laws made in the 15th century. do you see and appreciate the difference.\n\nsure people will label you based off your skin tone and your demeanor. BUT WHY? because they have had bad history with those that look just like you. i have had REALLY REALLY bad experiences with asians in everything. so i naturally stay away from all asians and i do not trust them. HOWEVER, i feel when foreigners come to this country they ruin it for the rest of the citizens that are of similar foriegn race eventhough they were born there. WE NEED TO PUT OUR NATIONS CULTURES first. and thats what we have to teach everyone. we put our canada america pride priority and whatever culture we came from LAST. THATS WHY its best we learn to fix our people in a whole in our country before bringing in anymore foreigners who do not respect our nation. lets stop third world immigration and work on making our country great again. so we can stop all this crime in our neighborhoods. because it hinders our progress. once every race color ethnicity of people are acting right then we will have no prejudice based off color or even gender because everyone is giving everyone respect. but because CRIME IS HIGH in all foreign races, and we continue to disrespect eachother. nobody feels safe anymore. whether your light skinned white or black.

There are good and bad people everywhere...However Canada is better in general...♥️?? O Canada...God bless Canada ?????

Helloo racism doesn't exist it's good people bad people \nA world of white good NG to cater to white a African tribe b prefers African tribe b but not African tribe. C..we all look out for our own kind

I mean it Islam is based on terrorism but shouldn't we be punishing the ones who are in the other country killing soldiers and the ones who are living in America trying to cause trouble I think we should leave the ones who just want to live a normal life alone the ones they receive you just want to live here have family and her business they're not a threat the ones will try to make bombs and do it secret C or threats do you want to get rid of the threat go after the bad ones and leave the good ones alone

It's sad to ever see a woman that drunk, but freedom of speech means just what it says the absolute God given freedom of speech! What she did was drunk and stupid but I can be honest and tell you I said some bad things back when I drank with my mates, if she didn't have that alcohol then this wouldn't have happened! I guarantee it! AND SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE LOST HER JOB OVER THIS! SHE WAS NOT GIVEN A CITATION BY THE POLICE, AND NO CHARGES WILL BE FILED. HERE IN COLORADO IF I WOULD LOOSE MY JOB FOR EXACLY WHAT SHE DID, LAWYERS DREAM DREAMS OF EASY MONEY SETTLEMENT FOR WRONGFUL TERMINATION WITH THE VIOLATION OF MY 1st AMENDMENT PRIVILEGE. AND I BET ANY GOOD LAWYER WOULD ADD TEN ORE MORE CHARGES TO THE LAWSUIT. I DON'T CLAIM TO KNOW CANADA LAWS BUT THEY HAVE SIMILARITIES.

I looked up the test. It biases everything 'good' and 'white' with right hand motion and everything 'bad' and 'African desent' is done with the left hand. Yes those are the actual test terms. Since the majority of people are right handed ...

Canada has diversity which is good because we all can show our differences and interact socially but if you are diverse in a bad way to harm people you should not be let in a free country who has fought hard to gain freedom for decades!

if he doesn't like what is offered to him after sneeeking into the country, believe me he is more then welcome to haul himself and his family back south of the border, we might be a understanding country, but him refusing to go to that meeting makes him a illegal and as such needs to be deported, we already take in more people then the country can afford to support the number of refuges that we take in should be connected to what Canada is worth ass a whole if we have a good year maybe add a few to the list, bad year oh well to bad.

Well, I am not going to generalize all people in the same category. There are good and bad people everywhere in the world but being first generation immigrant in Canada is really hard in every part of life. First, even you are fluent in English you will have an accent that makes big difference in your job hunting, making friends and get along with different people. Many times, I have been treated on the basis of how I look and on the basis of my accent.

I tal you so; remember when you arrive , you spit USA know you go to face the truth . I remember when you where in the church and thinking in Canada you can get the residence? Face it and run back to the states , make money illegally wile you can cause you will be deported ; and your wife I'm sure she is back in America. So stop blaming Mr Trump for your bad decision and good luck amigo.

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.

Such generalizations. After listening for just one minute I conclude that you found out that lumping everybody into the same basket was stupid but it took you 25 years to find that out. Wow! More people are killed or injured traveling in car than in a mountain bike. There are 50 states in the USA so most statements you make may refer to just one or two states. Canada has 10 provinces and the health care is slightly different in each province. Wait until you have lived in any country for a few years before you can talk authoritatively about it. Canada is a good country to live in so is Australia but even better are some or the northern or western countries in Europe where health care is affordable and good and food is affordable and good. The USA has more millionaires and billionaires and a lot of them are in government. Think about that. Lots of guns and judging by the news quite a few racist cops who never get punished. Think about that too. Bad water in many places; also worth thinking about. There are more lobbyists than there are legislators and they all make money; think about that and ask yourself why.

This is getting silly. The main issue still stands....WE CAN'T TELL THE GOOD FROM THE BAD. It is such a huge growing trend that there are Islamic attacks on the west.

Statistics and demographics lead the charge, there are good and bad in all races.

Call me whatever, but India has been dealing with this for a very long time, probably since 1980s. I dont hate islam but I dont love it either. Let's just say that I wouldnt buy a house in Muslim neighborhood. It has been a nuisance to India since a long time, every time we screamed in UN for help. We got shut down until the problem reached world wide. People say it started happening since Iraq and syrian war which is slightly incorrect. This problem has been there since ages prior to war, It just manifested on a high level recently. There are so many examples...This religion feeling which later turns into violence starts with your own house, your upbringing and your own values. If a kid is used to seeing his mom being suppressed then when he grows up, dont expect much from him. Now every community has this issue but in Muslim community it is engraved in you the moment you open your eyes on planet earth. You cannot defend the argument when someone says Women are suppressed in mulsim culture. The most hurtful thing happening is in UK. A country which gave you food, shelter, respect, a better life. You are trying to impose your values on it? As a matter of fact, good muslims should come out openly and boycott these terrorist who are trying to create chaos if they really want to show good intentions but you wont see any (for obvious reasons). They often cry about they being a victim but what about other people?? If all good muslim come out and boycott bad muslims then that would be a thing to appreciate and notice. In last you cant clap with one hand! Remember that.

Canada sounds identical to Australia except the weather is warm here not cold I think I'd say Canadian people I prefer but than America has everything available which can be a good thing or a bad thing thoughts from melbourne

Always. The blame pointed at us TRUE Canadians. The fear comes from not knowing which of you are good or bad. Don't blame Harper. I watched a group of you downtown demanding blasphemy against Mohammad be made illegal. HERE, in Canada. You people are sick. Go home

There is no difference between good or bad Muslims let me tell you why ..because at the end of the day they all desire the same objective and that is to achieve Islamic law which ever part of the world they choose to settle. We should ban Islam and demolish all mosques also it should be made illegal to distribute Islamic literature if they want to pray let them pray in privacy of their own homes. or migrate to an Islamic country that matches their lifestyle.

All races have 'baggage' they carry around them (good or bad) like it or not. It's based on past behaviors of their very members, that's just common sense. There are however, always exceptions to the rule and therefor one must always be fair minded, IMHO.

Probably the only thing i liked about harper. \nHe actually protected Canada from the bad type immigrants (there are good too). \nHe made a law making companies hire Canadians FIRST and if they really cant find someone they can hire immigrants. \nHe also lowered the quota of immigrants coming in every year to a reasonable amount that we can actually handle...\n... I am actually not a harper supported believe it or not and voted for Trudeau but tbh Harper does have some things right. Very few things but yea.

there is nothing wrong with d religion. there's only good people n bad people. and there r those who look like a lamb, but is actually a wolf in disguise with bad intention n personal gain.

the real bad thing about the veil is the fact we cant get a direct shot at the mouth and as all good little muslims know, Muhammad likes to have clear access to the places he wants to bury his cock...these girls learn that at the age of 9

so if any other faiths women wear a ski mask people suspect them of being up to no good a Muslim women wears it she expects everyone to be fine with it.\nsorry western society members like to see who they are dealing with and before someone jumps up and try to say western society was bad to women back then.\nyes we don't have the best track record but we grew up and became more civil

this is propaganda to create hatred to divide human race to make Christian against Muslim, most Islamic extremist backed by US intelligence, they show bad things like Muslim as extremist backed by them self, they never show good things like Qatar Muslim county is the richest country in the world, Extremist is only 1 percent of population, can you make conclusion by seeing the 1 percent without see the 99 percent? use your brain to analyse this don't be stupid and believe everything you hear, don't be victim of manipulation, look the comment see how many people believe it how easy to manipulate people

I don't hate muslims, but I don't understand moving to the west and having a Hijab and beard and praying 20,000 times a day, this is not what the west is about. The middle East is reserved for that kind of lifestyle, may be its good maybe its bad, but there is a time and place for everything, the West in not for that. If Westerners in the same numbers as Muslims; moved to the middle East and started to set up shop there Western style it would be inappropriate for us to do so and not the right thing, and Muslims would definitely not have any of that.

GOOD, Muslims should live in fear, We have to live in fear because of Muslims. \n\nThey wear the mask for our own good, To cover those smashed mugs. \n\nAny Muslim who lives in the West yet sympathizes with ISIS need to be exposed and stoned to death. These are people who have no reason to waste our resources on their pathetic useless lives. If they hate us so bad why do they come here? (west) Is it because being Christian nations blessed us with the ability to create all that we have? While they worship a pedophile who lived by the sword? My only question is why do you live here when you know your not welcomed?

why can't muslim people hold back when other people comments on islam or their prophet whether it is bad or good, if you all have any common sense as a person you should know god will judge these people at the end... if i was a muslim living in a western society with freedom of speech i wouldn't give a damn about name calling cause that is not my problem and let god judge him or her when they stand in front of god.

alcohol = bad....  Short skirts = bad.... Raping small children = OK, if you are a Prophet.... Stoning young girls to death if they want freedom = good....  Lying to your own children = very good if it brain washes them into believing your silly God. 

I feel bad for some of the good muslims but they have to get those knob heads out of OUR country and I am not one of them dick heads edl either,they have to understand its the UK if you dont like our ways and laws then move to a muslim country that does.

Islam is the best religion .. there is good and bad in all religions because we as humans are not perfect ... The Quran doesnt teach anything bad .. plz do some research ... what religion are you ?

You're all cowards. Instead of making heated remarks on youtube,go and make a persons life better tomorrow instead of all this paranoia. Do summat good not bad.

that was nice of you. sry for what happend in London but you are saying that one christian kills many all are bad? there is no mordern islam its just ppl who is trying to change it.\n\njust like the bibel its about good thing and ppl killed so many muslims in the crusade and in gods name? when did god tell ppl to kill? do ppl understand the religon? ppl are stupied and brain washed. We need to folow the real religon and read and judge the religon by what it says and not what ppl do.

First, come and say that 2 my face about my kids BITCH! im NOT a Muslim! im white European Catholic! I ALSO HAVE SOME BAD NEWS 4 U BITCH, I HAVE FULL CUSTODY OF MY CHILDREN COS IM A GOOD DAD! NOT LIKE U SMELLY/Drug Addict TRAMP! Shariah Law is the Answer 4 the alcoholics and drug addicts in UK and EU! anti Social BEHAVIOR WILL BE VERY LOW UNDER SHARIAH!
