Good for Trudeau. No troublemakers. Why should he shit on Canadians for some ineffective outsiders. Good for Canadians. In less than a decade all Canadians will be gentrified and homeless fooling around with these rude no class assholes. They will refuse to even learn Canadian customs or respect Intersex people and create a total imbalance in the universe that will result in all types of natural disasters. Get a fucking Robot to pick produce! Hire kids to work in fast food! Robots are cleaner anyway.

I'll lay it out for you: Me: typical middle of the road liberal oriented Canadian. Non white, immigrant (I wasnt born here) I worked in a Refugee housing for over 4 years in Ontario. Most were not war areas refugees (Yes I know there are other types of refugees). I only encountered few refugees from war areas. ONLY 1 person from Iraq, about 2 families were from Afghanistan, 1 couple from Pakistan(I doubt they were real refugees they spoke fluent English, maybe political refugee), and a most from African countries. Its too far for real refugees to get here. Its Easier for them to go to other countries nearby or Europe. MOST SEEM TO BE ECONOMIC REFUGEES. Most were coming from Africa. Some are coming from Latin America, which shouldn't be happening. Once they showed up at our doorstep and we processed them into the system, they were immediately in the same class as a Canadian resident homeless person if they were making a refugee claim. We get money to house and feed them (from the government), and they are given a stipend for basics from the government processed through the Social Assistance/ Welfare system (they get less than a resident/citizen I think.). They then have to get their case processed by the refugee board, and most seem to get in. I've only heard of few getting sent back. One person I know at our facility, was given a subsided social housing apartment after a year in our facility. So they went straight from a shelter to a government/city owned subsidized apartment. (Didn't seem like it was a issue for the housing worker...they didn't report it (if they were not the ones that helped the person to get it), they were white, the housed person was Latin. This refugee claimant, and then month or two new Canadian resident person was given an apartment in a prime area of the city, instead of the 1000's of Canadians, those who came before them, and born Canadian citizens on an extremely long waiting list. How this was allowed to happen I don't know. The person was probably sucking on someone's straw. I'm just trying to think the barriers these people have to go through to get a job here. We are far removed from the time of the 80's and 90's., and housing and jobs are so hard to get. Lol the "Canadian government asks them to repay the traveling cost to Canada if they are sent back"....I wonder how much the government recoups?.....more like 0 probably. What a bunch of crap. How do you demand someone to repay their flight cost when they get back to their country?

there are more BLACK AFRICAN AMERICANS in the USA , THAN PPL FROM MUSLIM COUNTRY, , but remember MILLIONS OF BLACKS WERE DRUG HERE AGAINST THEIR WILL AND ENSLAVED, SO WHY WOULD YOU ASK OUR RACE TO HELP DEFEND ANY TYPE OF RACE HATE, ARE YOU KIDDING, I REALLY THOUGHT ALL THESE PPL WENT TO CHURCH AND BELIEVED IN GOD. HOW YOU GONNA ASK BLACKS TO HELP THROW OTHER RACES OUT OF THE USA. ANY PERSON IN AN ELECTED OFFICE THAT SAYS OR PROMOTE SUCH AN IDEAL, IS UILTY OF AN ACT OF TREASON AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, CAUSE LOTS OF DIFFERENT RACES HAVE DIED IN WAR FOR THE LEGAL RIGHT TO BE HERE. PERIOD.

Why is this presented as if people of color just started to complain about this type of treatment? RACISM LIVES!!!

The disguised security guy is trying to do good, but he has a long way to go. He said something along the lines as to the stereo type being what is proven. My response is how would you know if you are targeting people of color and not watching ALL people for loss prevention!?!? You don't know how much money a business is losing and by who if you're racially profiling.

They discriminate against Canadian born Chinese too, so I left after my Engineering Master and MBA.\n\nCannot say that I was proud to be born in Canada. Many of these bad incidences are what I remembered as a child. Canada's racism is a polite type. I did go back to my country of color.

I feel this is not done properly. I m white color and was refused apartments as single middle age not a senior . They wanted no music played loudly without knowing who I am . I was pulled over many times by police , stalked and hounded . I hate typing . I wish I could talk . I was refused on over 400 jobs as too educated . Racial problems with everyone . I left my job as I wouldn’t sleep with my boss . Your profiling only of color this is not so.

What place in the world don't any type of danger??? Illegal immigrants all have one justification or another trying to convince the world that crossing illegally in another country it's not a problem and a nothing burger like the saying goes.

I mean...he’s a pretty hard worker from what I see...I sure hope his papers are approved. He seems to be the type to get further educational training if he could still feed his family at the same time. Best of luck to him!

RE: Canadian healthcare, my wife broke both her hips in 2017 in two separate falls, she was admitted immediately to hospital without delay and operated on the next day (half hip replacement), after physio and occupational therapy she was discharged and provided Homecare, 16 times per week plus weekly Day Hospital. Our cost for both operations was roughly $160.00 for parking spots for me so I could visit her and about $140 in Tim Horton doughnuts for staff. The system does not have enough of certain types of specialists thus wait times for those specialists, and there are wait times for elective surgery. The system has not really been reviewed since its inception in the 1960s but making significant changes is the third rail of Canadian politics and a hard look is justified after 70 years. Re: illegal crossings; The gentleman in the video has a problem in that the US and Canada have signed a “safe country” agreement and neither will accept refugees from the other as both Canada and the US are deemed “safe havens”. He crossed illegally, if he had crossed legally he would have been immediately turned back at the border but he clearly entered the country between border crossings and was likely arrested and released on recognizance but not returned immediately as the agreement is silent on illegal entries (yes, seems a touch strange). As many people are leaving the US for Canada the system is overwhelmed. Tent cities have been set up in Quebec and public housing used in Manitoba to house illegal immigrant pending processing - those with criminal records are held for deportation. Canada has accepted roughly 25,000 Syrian refugees from camps in that part of the world. These refugees were first vetted by the UN then Canada. These refugees are completely different from the people crossing the border illegally from the United States. This pales to the 75,000 boat people accepted after the fall of Saigon. Canadians have been generally accepting of refugees but wants the process guided by the rule of law. Immigrants are a separate from refugees and the rules governing their entries into Canada are different.

I don't know why all of Latin America thinks that the USA and Canada have the responsibility of taking care of the people from Latin American Countries. I say let them fix their own countries. Mexico for example, has every resource that the USA has. Coal, oil, natural gas, mineral mines of every type, timber industries, rich farm land, etc..... You name the resource, Mexico has it. Yet the corruption of the Mexican Government keeps the people poor. Well I say, fix it!!! Don't come here looking for a new life. Fix the problem in your own country by any means necessary.

Lawyers will prey on your vulnerabilities and feed you all types of false hope for 15k. That man should have stayed here and laid low until his wife or son could have petitioned for him. Then he could've applied for a waiver which he may have succeeded in getting depending on whether he had the right case around that time. I could have told him this for 50 bucks. #mercedeslaw

I've seen 3 types of Muslim:\n\n1: Aggressive Muslim: holds strong ideologies against you. Willing to take physical action. Always a cock to society. Common\n\n2: Neutral Muslim: Holds strong ideologies against you. Usually a cock to society. Common\n\n3: Passive Muslim: often tends to be highly rational. Generally minds their own business, occasionally doing a small deed to society. Boring, yet peaceful people to be around. No real problem with them. Rare.\n\nWhere I used to live, the place was full of Ines and twos. It was until I moved I struck lucky and got threes, believe me, although rare they do exist.\nNo real objective to this comment, just ranting about what I've seen throughout my life.

Add these unfortunate facts in...\n\nTake a look at the amount of people that search for rental property online. NEVER enter your email or ANY other personal identifying information about you before you have stepped foot onto the property. Why? Because they will search out quite the number of things about you, and are able to do a type of brief credit report on you.\n\nThey can technically claim that there are no rentals available for you at a particular location based upon information you have supplied. If you are able to obtain a rental contract; they can adjust the amount of items such as security deposit and the amount of rent to be paid, also based upon the very information you have supplied.\n\nWant convenience? Think twice.\n\nA number of landlords offer a type of automatic monthly withdrawal for items such as monthly rent. Do not do it. The fines and penalties are considerably higher if one has done something as simple as making a mistake in ones accounting. Add to that, when one leaves the rental; one can have fees added in if the location is not left as perfect.

Islam is the religion of peace, I am Muslim And i know more abuout Islam ...There is no concept of jehadi like ISIS ETC although jehad is piller of Islam but when your country attacked by enemies making killing then we do jehad and KILLING OF innocents is not allowed in Islam, wearing any type of hijab is good act and if one do not wear then yet she is welcomed, there is politeness relaxation and compromise for everyone in Islam,,,

I do appreciate what was said in the show but there other types of discrimination by employers, landlords, stores. It can be how you dress, how you wear your hair, what colour your hair is, if you have tats. For employers, your medical history: I was refused a job at a bank because my grandfather was epileptic and it was thought that I might have the problem. When looking for an apartment or house it really all depends on the owners frame of mind on that particular day, not your references. So it is invasive in all of our lives. Human nature is not all good.

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.

why are white people acting like sharia law is the worst set of laws they ever heard of lol have they forgotten black codes have they forgotten Jim Crow, apartheid the real reason they are upset is because they want to be the only race to be able to treat other people like shit sharia law don't got shit on nor will ever have a body count as high as some of the laws made by white people period I can't believe all this bitch in is coming from the race that put Jesus Christ on the cross and happily blamed the Jews for it sure the Jews played their part but it was the Romans who killed him so for all these white people acting like Muslims are just the worst type of human look in the fucking mirror ok

I feel we don't let the KKK run around with their head coverings why should you be allowed to. both such axe promotes a certain kind of violence. you promote your type of religion which is disgusting and repulsive and just a reason to abused life. so wearing stuff like that means you're supporting your religion which has issues or you actually really do have issues because there is no reason to have to want to wear something like that unless there's something wrong with you you have something to hide. and yes it may be something you want to do but the rest of the world sees it as repulsive so if you keep doing something that just isn't necessary in life and just for your wants and the world doesn't want you doing it you should stop. for that just means you have mental issues. we don't promote ski mask or any type of head gear in a bank because we don't know who's under their.

well it's really unfortunate that these girls believe that dehumanizing themselves in public rather then portraying themselves as one of the people. When they day that they have all the same practices in private or in their homes and they do the same type of stuff that tells me that they must believe they are above others, and that they have no interest in learning about others culture or North American culture.

she said jihad is the sixth pillar of Islam and there are only 5 pillars. That niqabi woman was right, in Islam a woman is more valuble than the man, woman are protected like a stack of diamonds. Nobody waves diamonds infront people or some people will try to take them away and that is reality everybody knows rape and abuse are more common among woman so covering up won't make those type of people interested in you

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.

I don't feel angry or upset, because I've experience being followed in a store and I've worked in clothing retail and seen the actual types of people that do steal and to be honest, it doesn't matter the color of the skin or the amount of money a person have, thieves come in all different background. I've seen white women steal, I've seen black women steal, I've seen Hispanic women steal. I've seen a group of people steal, I've seen toddlers steal. What they taught me in retail is just like best buy, you have to make your presence known, but there is a difference between harassment and actually helping the customer. The sad thing is this will never go away as long as people continue to steal. and when you have minorities that do steal, it makes it hard for the other hard working minorities to catch a break.

As a young child I remember viewing the Amish women as being in a chronic 'state of funeral' based solely on their signature dark garb. It created in my own (childlike) logistics that this was a type of society which I needed to keep at a distance from myself. I disliked their choices, finding them muted in a world layered thick in rich and vibrant fields of color. The color black in ancient cultures (apparel) indicates the refusal to acknowledge or be unresponsive, to be closed off. I can understand how many real (natural) Canadiens can view Muslim women in their communities in a strange light. An interview with a very rich Saudi woman (living in Saudi Arabia), in how she spoke of her own frustration by not being allowed to own a drivers license, instead being driven in her husbands pricey Mercedes by a hired driver. She forced this issue on her local, home town government when she attempted to embarrass the officials of this primitive law, which in her view, had outlived its purpose and no longer applied to modern women in her culture. This interview went viral being shown on multi media networks and the town became embarrassed by the exposure. We should all applaud these women for their natural right to be free from outdated ritual and constraints continue to impose these indignities upon women. Muslim women living in Canada who wear the typical dark cloth across the features of the face and over the body are putting forth a message that they are 'second class citizens', are 'less than equal', are 'one mans property' - not unlike a common barn yard animal but possibly owning less importance than an animal since an animal can be traded for goods or services for profit. One can understand how real (natural) Canadien women can view this type of apparel as a slap in the face of their gender, a violent slap to go to the 'back of the line', 'take it lying down and like it'. So much is fear based and these Muslim women should shed their fear as layers of dark folds are sent falling to the floor - once and for all...

The problem is that people still think there are different types of muslims. There really isn't. Islam is a religious-ideology of which the entire endgame is to takeover. Read for yourself... Whether through political deception and power like Obama or through force and killing like Isis it is all the same...the end game is the same. \n\nAny Muslim that tells you it is a religion of peace is completely lying to your face. In the Quran they are taught that former doctrines are superseded by later doctrines. Well guess what...Muhammad was peaceful in the beginning and not so much at the end\n\nThe Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.\n\nUnlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence, the verses of violence in the Quran are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text. They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subject to interpretation as anything else in the Quran. \n\nViolence is so ingrained in Islam that it has never really stopped being at war, either with other religions or with itself. Don't be deceived by the few, get ready for a war.

This is a pro Islam video? I'm sorry, but we are going to deport all sharia types soon enough, and Europe will too! This evil misogynst violent fascist, not even religion its a fascist system, that the elite seem to love, is going to get the boot!

So what if someone go To Saudi Arabia and choose not to wear hijab do they get the freedom to do so. I am mentioning Saudi Arabia because this type of Muslims are funded by them not other Muslims countries.

Again, the mountains do not act as pegs and were not placed anywhere by anyone - they are caused by tectonic movements, there was no placing and they do not keep the continents in place, the continents are still moving, it just takes a long time\nThere is no conclusive scientific description in the Quran, although an all knowing God would be able to impart that type of information, all you are doing is trying to find some verse that you think relates to modern science and claiming it as evidence
