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.

Canadian here in Toronto. Thanks for the video Drew. Very accurate. We're similar in so many ways but there are definitely differences. Today was the day I was supposed to fly to China to take a tour in North Korea. Yes you heard that right. YouTubers like you and similar others have inspired me to try different destinations and experiences. However, that will have to be out on hold for the time being... :(

I’m American but my mom is Canadian ????I like Canada more thank you for all the likes and replies

i am so proud to be Canadian. Thank you CBC. :D

F ME KEEHAN THIS IS GREAT REPORTING. YOU SHOULD GET A MEDAL FOR THIS TOUGH REPORTING THAT ALL OTHER FAKE MEDIA OUTLETS WOULDNT TOUCH WITH A 10 FOOT POLE.AGAIN THANKS TO YOU BRAVE SIR AND YOUR GREAT BOSSES AT REBEL AN FELLOW REPORTERS.ISNT IT TIME REAL CANADIANS WENT TO ROXHAM RD TO STOP THIS.JUST ASKING? WHATS WRONG WITH EVERYONE?

My goodness. The enforcers finally have masks on. Thank you for doing this. They are not Canadian, not American and Turdeau is allowing them in. Omg flying in! I can’t believe this is still happening!! Are they women or men. Must have a vote of non confidence.

I live in the United States, and I’ve always thought that Canadians were not as racist as Americans. Thank you for sharing this with your audience. It’s a conversation that we need to have regularly.

Hi Igor, I am new in vlogging about Canadian Immigration.Can you give me some tips. I have already videos about immigrating to Canada like AIPP, RNiP and others. Thank you!

Hi Igor, could u make a vlog about the difference point system for Express Entry and Canadian Experience to get a PR in canada. Thank you ❤️

I feel super proud of my fellow Canadians who jumped up to defend the woman! That is an awesome social experiment to demonstrate to lots of random people out in public. THANK YOU. GOOD people.??????❤️

Thank you canadians! I loved the reaction of the couples who stood up for the aid collector......my love for canadians just got bigger !??????❤️??

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.

Btw, Canadians in general are kind, brave, compassionate, and very civilized people. There may be some racists there, as there are anywhere, but when I visited Toronto all the Canadians were lovely. My family is multiracial and they treated us as normal human beings. Thanks to Canadian Border Patrol, which was so professional positive, and welcoming.

for me very hard to believe; this people living in the USA, get here, and no money?? WHY WE HAVE TO GAVE THEM EVERYTHING,??? what about our own people?? no food no money but this "HUMAN " get it , what they want, PLEASE GO HOMEEEEE!!!!!!!! we was a legal landed immigrant 1986 but we was working in SWITZERLAND then they kicked us out, we was honest, we told them , we have a money, from jan. _ may we had to show the Canadian ambassador how much money we have, and we got here but no help. only the English school and we was so happy, 3 years later we asking the citizenship and we got it, THANK YOU CANADA

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.

another sponge for welfare free housing food education and healthcare....thanks Trudeau see you 2019 NOT AN OUNCE OF SYMPATHY AND HE'S TAKING A JOB FROM A CANADIAN HOW IS BUFFALO A DANGEROUS COUNTRY

And here I am watching this after I arrived home in the Philippines after a 2 years work permit and contract in Edmonton Alberta when my work permit renewal was rejected by immigration Canada and there is this fraud immigration thing. Well atleast I did my luck in an honest way rather than doing it the wrong way. I'd rather live a hard life here in the Philippines than living the Canadian dream illegally. I want to thank the canadians for being good to during my 2 years stay in Canada. I will never forget that exprerience and specially my all time favorite triple triple dark roast from Tim Hotons. lol..?

Canada isn’t great. So thank you. I’m not Canadian

“You are not Canadian” man if that was said to me my response would simply be “Thank God I’m not”

Wow what a beautiful commercial once again trying to project the refugees at the expense of the Canadian tax payer ... how much to make this CBC ? What ever just add it to the crushing debt we will pay for years to come thanks Liberals!!

All this is thanks to Canadian Cuban Fidel Castro son Justin . Canada is finished. We have nothing to do. Our Governments is behind them. We have to know who is in leading positions of our Constitutions ans Canadian cultures and heritage. We are Judaeo Croatians community. Our country constitutions is founded on Bible not on Koran. This is alien culture we do not need it.\nWe have our culture and our Canadian pride.

I don’t want to criticize Justin but I request him to check if all Canadians I mean who already immigrated and settled here have jobs or no ? I immigrated here 4 yrs back from India and worked in all hard sectors to just pay my bills and this year I broke my body in work injury !!! I don’t know why there is such a lack of people in work force that there is work overload leading to injury! Justin plz help Canadians who already present here first . Thank you..

All you have to do is just look how Muslim immigration has been working out in Sweden. It hasn't, and Canada will end up the same thanks to sellout Trudeau. Canadians....GET THEM OUT NOW !!

Most white Canadians I know are nice people and accepting this lady is only a minority canada is a great country with nice people thank you canada

Imagine the bill that taxpayers will be getting......thanks Turdeau. Canadian children go to school hungry , but, I'm glad the illegal immigrants have room service and cable t.v.

Thanks to this Justin T. moron, all the money from hard working Canadiens is going to waste. This inept Trudeau is going to be out, hopefully, some of the Liberals that are intelligent will use their common sense and know that this Trudeau, is a complete Embarrassment to the Canadian people. Trudeau must go. MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN

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.

Those Canadian Liberals who says they won't visit USA, THANK YOU! Please keep that promised will yeah? We don't need mangina voters here as well. By the way Canadians we just dodge a bullet by not voting Hillary. Hope you impeach that globalist mangina feminist traitor. What a POS.

As a Canadian, I have to say that I'm very proud that we are able to take so many immigrants. Our first Prime Minister was an immigrant. Our country was built on immigration. Ask yourself who built this country? Immigrants did. But with every wave of immigration comes prejudice. Irish, Ukrainians, Polish have all seen there share of prejudice. Now its brown people from Syria that escaped with the cloths off their back. Maybe you should be thankful for what you have, that you are able to live in a country where you dont have to worry about your fundamental freedoms.

Where’s the Canadian outrage!? Thank God Tru-blow isn’t head of my country

Being a Canadian, I am so embarrassed that Trudeau is Prime Minister. Americans should be thankful they have Trump in office

I am confused - the other day i read immigrants are crossing the canadian border to come here to the US?? clarity please. Please cut the pipeline off - thank you - love that at canadian liberals are funny friendly and smart -

Way to go Tucker! \nA buffoon......lol..... exactly!!!! The Canadian election is coming up soon and we will, no doubt, be back to a strongly conservative government. Thank you, Trudeau! for showing Canadians why the Liberal Party is, and always will be a disaster for Canada.

GalaxyTraveler, thank you. You Canadian do have your own version of our Trump, you just have to get him into the PM office, Pierre Polievre (I may have butchered his last name).

Thanks to Canadian people for welcoming us with open hands. All white people and other communities are great. I was never racially abused in Canada in the past 5 years. I have made many white friends and all of them are so nice. Thanks folks.

Thanks to the lunatic running Canada, we may need a second wall, this time at the Canadian boarder.

I didn't know that some Caucasians are racists. I also did not know that Canada had slaves. I have to start researching about Black Canadians. Thanks for this informative news.

Can you show the professor to Belgium please. I prefer a Canadian over an American or a German because our racism exceeds all borders. On a daily basis I experience black racism on an unheard scale. People come to me and explain they feel totally excluded from our society even when they contribute to it by (mostly manual) hard labor and social or political engagement. Maybe a Canadian profile could get some acceptance in Belgium. Same thing goes for Hindi, Asian and Muslim people. I cannot contribute more than launching a very urgent and serious appeal because I am not qualified in my society. Thank you very much to clean up our mess. I heard we have a caucasian Russian in the Euro Parliament but I did not check that.

who cares? America needs to stop stealing Canadians work and recognition. To the Americans who respect us i thank you!

Fuck them all they have taken over our country and the government has given it to them what about real Canadians that must live with them where is my country they don't share our Canadian value s I am now a minority in my own country what the fuck thanks for fucking the country up

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.

Enjoyed the video. I sent a message to Hannah but she has not returned a message. I was wondering if you or anyone who is reading this would give me some answers. I live in Canada, retired and am thinking of moving down to the US to live with my husband's sister and husband. They are going to buy a house in Sun City, Hilton Head. I was wondering Derek if you had to get someone to sponsor you or did you just move there? Have you since gotten health care, I was wondering how much you are paying. I read somewhere also that you have to take your drivers test, written and driving test since most states do not acknowledge Canadian license. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. If you or any of your readers want to email me, my address is copp12@hotmail.com. Thanks.

I would like to come and experience and be educated more about Islam I am a new Muslim Canadian women but with my husband not here with me in Canada I find it hard to learn on my own. I would love to come to Ontario to know more about Islam if there is any chance for my Muslim brothers and sisters to help me with this Please . Thank You
