Born and raised in BC. BC means bring cash. Everything cost more in BC. GOVERNMENTS are more greedy in BC as well. More tax here more expensive to buy houses in BC as well. . fuel costs the most in world in BC I'm sure. Many of us leave to eastern province because BC is too expensive. Canada lets in too many Immigrants. Soon everywhere will look like vancouver. Asian or east Indian and very few other races

I live in Quebec's Outaouais region and through I love my home and would likely never move there needs to be mention that many of my fellow Québecois are very intolerant of race and language differences and the more you go north the worse it gets. I don't know how it stacks up to the rest of the country, maybe you could do a video on that.

Too much dwelling on race just live and love everyone

Illegal immigrants pay on average $15,000 to drug cartels to get smuggled into the US. It costs only a few hundred dollars to legally immigrate here, but it does take time, and a background check. The requirements for asylum are persecution for race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group. The Chinese students at Tiananmen Square would have qualified. Those who are persecuted for criticizing the Taliban, Kim Jong Un, or Miguel Diaz-Canel would qualify. Living in a high crime neighborhood or wanting a better life does not qualify for asylum. If it did, all of Compton could claim asylum in Sweden.\n\nHe can delay his asylum hearing all he wants. If he doesn't qualify, then no amount of time will change that. Fair means the rules apply. \n\nEvery country has the sovereignty to determine their own immigration rules. How many. Minimum requirements like no criminal history and no committing crimes when here on a visa. The number let in needs to coincide logistically with the availability of benefits, housing, and what the jobs markets need.\n\nPoliticians are negligent when they raise false expectations just to make themselves look good. Be honest and clear about the requirements to get a work visa, claim asylum, or become a citizen.

Please pull the race card in court if someone were to be arrested for assaulting this racist b**ch to avoid standing trial. Law should not apply in situations like this . Our ancestors were oppressed.

The sad part was that he was telling her daughter to hold the phone so that he should make her a way to go and was going to clear his vehicle.so sad brother. I think it's her anger issue and does not know how to handle this so she choose his race to abuse him.im not sad that he was racially abused but he was trying to help her but she get him completely wrong and starts mocking his accent?

Is American a race?

To all you ungrateful foreigners. You had the good fortune of being admitted to the greatest nation on earth. Don't be slagging this and that about Canada, because I'm sure it beats your country of origin. And, don't be fooled by all the 'rah rah USA' garbage. They have a much higher crime rate, rampant inner city violence, poorly maintained infrastructure, a horrible school system, race riots, shitty health care. I could go on. Point is, you're lucky to be in Canada. So, show a little appreciation. ?? ?

Reason #1 racism- maybe you don't experience it but lots of other people experience it. Marginalized etc.\nI was a journeyman electrician back home I move to Canada I applied for jobs and philisity the lady at the desk said to me you are black, you will never get job here exact words.\nStruggle throughout the years went back to school got a mechanical license and first week on the job I was fired for no reason with no explanation so all I'm saying is for some races things is easier.

I’m tired of talking about race. The more we talk a out the more racist we become.

What I came to realize in life is that people don’t really like you, they like your talent/skills. take your time to be skilled in something and people will hunt down your skills. this applies mostly to all people based on statistics. if you are white and you ain’t skilled, you will be fired. as simple as that. businesses want to make money. so if you are black and you have what it takes, businesses will hunt you down since they will realize that they need your skills. I have learned that from Thomas Sowell and it has freed my mind as a young black man. I am a scientist ( I aspire to be the best one ) and I have started to reap what I sow. stop trying to make people feel sorry for you. work hard, get skills that are needed in the society and the rest will take care of itself. Also, you gotta hold yourself on high standards as a human being and you will be a blessing to the community. have a wonderful day y’all. love one another. we are the same race ( human race ) with simply different skin colors. just like FLOWERS of different colors. we need to change our mindset and things will be better for sure.

Now allow me to express a different perspective as a black man living in the states. I took some time to educate myself on the issue of racism and slavery. I would advise all people to sit down and learn facts about the issue. don’t be driven by emotions but by facts rather. Please read the following book and you will thank me later. \n“ Race and culture” by Thomas Sowell.

.its not easy to stay calm, but take everyone as an individual, not as a group. stick to the person, and their action you have a problem with,. The physical differences don't cause these issues, the person does,...just leave color, hair, and ethnicity out of the fight, that way nobody gets labeled incorrectly. You will also make your point far better. Control,...self control,. I have been there, i think we all have,..to all my hot headed friends out there, I understand, but preserve your character, and call a spade a spade, without race, church, sexuality etc....people can leave PLEANTY on the table with out you taking the race bait!!

Every race on earth is racist. That is a fact.People should try to get along.

i don’t get it, even if he was at fault why was targeting and making fun of his race the only insult she could think of? \nthese thoughts were always there, she just needed aggression to let them slip

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.

Is a Newfie a race, religion or culture?

I don’t understand why White ppl think they are more superior than other race.

240 rupees ka ganne ka juus in bramptom. or india me 20 rupees \nOr vo bhaiya bol rhe hai ki india me 10k kmate the or Brampton me 100k . \nIf some one in earning 10x in Canada then their expenditure is also 10k .\nBut people Do not notice it . They also starts involving in rat race .\n\nNOT HATE TO ANYONE .\nI will never leave my country , INDIA .

Unfortunately are black race is judge by our culture and not are individual character. Case and point , no one disrespect michael Jordan because of who he is.

This makes me so mad ? it's not hard at all to treat all races the damn same this disgust me to my core!!!! I work at a very busy convenient store and I treat every human being the same

Bahahahahaha! I am half black and Canada is the most non racist country on earth! Try travelling some time! So much race baiting to make money and get attention. Quit whining. Be responsible and stop blaming others! I made myself who I am with crying victim...

When we as black people can heal and learn to coexist and value each other the way other races value their own this won't matter as much. As a black man I am targeted by EVERYBODY black, white all other races even black women and I'm sure black women feel the same. I encourage anyone reading this to read the Willie Lynch letter and pray that we can begin to heal as a people. Violence in black communities seem to be at All time highs. We have truly been divided and conquered systematically. Lets pledge to treat each other better so that we are stronger together

Most of these attackers have mental problems?? not all people who are race haters are normal. You can just tell.

I never expected in Canada such a disgraceful society is in rise. Just two days ago something similar happen to me at TTC. Let's not forget all lives matter not only one race.

He needs to be rational and think where he got the virus from, from her? Or from his friend and think about their race

go back to school .. you dont have manners.. we respect every race here in the PHILIPPINES.. I HOPE YOU LEARN YOUR LESSON IN JAIL

is the media trying to start a race war?

ASIANS STOP TRAVELING STAY IN UR COUNTRY U DONT SEE ANY OTHER RACE BUYIN UR COUNTRY ITS BS THEY ARE BUYIN ALL THE BUSINESSES

this guy is decently a trump supporter blaming on everyone except for their own race \n\nI can't belive how racist is the world like when is this gonna end he probably didn't wanted to.say this to a men cause he dosent have the guts or the balls to.fight

That guy must be locked up for racial crimes. The law must be in place to protect the right of all races.

I have seen racism rise like crazy with people in the neighborhood I've known for years. It's like they are possessed. I feel liberals pushed this and opened this door and now there's no peace. People are mad and angry. The dishonest media is making it so much worse. Let's stop talking about race.

Bruises smh....no matter the race, In Texas prisons, they treat people whom hit women very very well.

Crazy how all of these US citizens no matter their race. Have the abilities to work get good education etc. and throw it all away. They refuse to work or progress with their lives. \nThen you have these IMMIGRANTS/ILLEGAS so called that want that same opportunity, but they get rejected. \nThat's how fucked up this world is.\nYou maybe just rejected a scientist or a doctor or a surgeon. Maybe even the future president.

Racism and sexism has been long working since Before Christ, it can even be dated through the times of King Solomon.\n\nWhite, Black, Yellow, Brown... \n\nPlease be reminded that we are one! \nWe are all called HUMAN RACE!\n\nI rest my case...

Asian esp Chinese are not a aggresive race, never invaded any country, wars are fought in act of defense. But i think that's the entire problem, world we live in is a jungle, respect only belongs to the predators.

They are the one who's spreading corona. They only know to blame other race but in fact, they have the most numbers of Covid.

This is scary and I’m sure she’s so disgusted and scared why is it that people believe it’s ok to target and attack people because of their race and because they have no interest in them sexually people continue to disrespect and attack Asian Americans because of their race and because of a disease that doesn’t even come from a certain race.

i hate the fact that my race and my exact ethnicity is being attacked.

Dude viruses and pandemics happen it happen in the past and we will later deal with it again. Like dude grow up this has nothing to do with someones race get it right. This won't be the only pandemic the whole world will face.

This is a clear case of how the white race regarded the minorities group in this native land.

When a white person is angry about non white person, why they attack the persons race, ethnicity, and religion. I think it is time to teach these people another way of saying angry words other than race lol

Proud to be Asians. There are bad people in every race just as well good people in every race.. Hates comes from the devil and he's busy spreading hates while God is love so we must love one another just as Christ loves you.

Why would you live in a country if they’re so races should move to Ireland and you won’t have that problem

No such thing as race

Ugh what a load of BS. Now everyone is pulling the race card for everything. He yelled those things because he was angry. \n If he was racist he wouldnt have made a pass at her in the first place.\nThe dude just wants a girlfriend and cant get one.

The only racism in Canada is none the only race is bigots are the mainstream media against black and white people shame on you CBC

Everybody generalises and categorises. Not just race but many groups. Whether it's political ideologies, musical preferences whatever

The easier solution is for all racists people to go live together in one secluded area this way they don’t have to deal with any other race that would be the easiest solution ever

This guy doesn't even know that his race is from Europe not Canada and he is being a racist???
