I'm Jamaican?? Canadian ?? and I love it here I've lived in the US ?? NY Flatbush and Church, South Central Philly North Felton St, and Atlanta Stone Mountain but I've never been to California, lived in London, UK Catford Perry hill big up!!!! ??

What disgusts me is that USA and Canada always preferred European immigrants over Mexican, Brazilian, Jamaican, & etc. immigrants who oddly enough are actually American.

we need the Jamaican in Africa

When we went to Toronto in 1970 lol the whites lived much better and Blacks Jamaicans lived in Ghetto some nicer than others BUT

mark you not jamaican yuh zimmi

Montrealer here. Caribbean restaurants are notorious for having poor service, irregular hours, poor hygiene, long wait times, inconsistent food etc. I've seen them come and go by the dozens and it's sad bc so many of them have really great, whole food (nothing processed) for a decent cost but the reason they can't stay open has more to do with work ethic and business management than patronage. \n\nWe have a huge caribbean community and the locals love the food too but once u get attached to one of these places, they disappear a few months later. Jamaicans especially, Trinidadians seem to be able to make the business side work better.

Jamaica is beautiful and so are the jamaicans so so beautiful

The treatment meted out to the Jamaican American on a visit to the UK was deplorable.

The segment should be called: being Jamaican in Canada

The real owners of this Country called Canada belongs to the Indigenous aboriginals. Not Chinese, not Indians, not East Europeans, nor West Europeans, not Jamaicans, truth is that everyone is an Immigrant that’s if you are not Natives aboriginal.

@1:25 Mark of Jamaican orgin? Blacks are ONLY indigenous to Africa.

Jamaican is in the building

I love how all the black people turned Jamaican overnight.

You can get sugarcane juice from the Jamaicans in Kensington Market for 2 dollars

What a great show. I wish there was a black celebration centre in every big city in Canada. It's wonderful to share this information with my children although it is not enough. Also, Jamaican restaurants are always empty in BC. I always wonder why the food is so good and the restaurants are empty. The chairs need to be comfortable and I like it when there is already a table or two of people (it's like a testimonial without words...) You could perhaps let a table of people eat for free if they stay there all day - it would help.

That's not true at all . I live in Brampton south lots of Italian, Portuguese and Jamaicans. Majority in Brampton is black people and Portuguese. There are areas there lots of Punjabi that's true. But not all Brampton is Panjabi.

As a person of color who is ethnically Jamaican living in the United States I will say that this gentleman is definitely wrong we are not Progressive we just know how to dress it up better

hay jamaican here

The only Blacks allowed to live in Canada are those that are from the Caribbean Islands as part of North America and the Royals as Knights of Canada who are Black Indians as Métis and they are the famous Singers in Toronto and also famous Hollywood Actors. Nobody else is allowed to be here except Black Americans but they never are here in Canada. The only time we ever had African Americans in Canada were the ones using the Underground Railroad to escape Slavery in southern USA from English Slave traders in the South. They were here in Toronto in 1814 and stayed for 13 months and then left again as it is too cold here for Africans and they got help to avoid Andrew Jackson and his slave traders to escape back to Africa to the Ivory Coast. That is the only real Black African History of Canada. There is no other. The people in this video are all Arab Fakers shaped to look African Canadian. We had ?? Jamaicans living here in Toronto as temporary refugees because of mob takeover in Kingston Jamaica. That was done on Judgement Day as they all as he'd. The mob there were Nigerian Scammers who were part of the script to take over the King's Town against the Royals. On occasion there were Lawyers studying here in Toronto from Trinidadand Tobago who are very nice and I met a couple one at the Crown Attorneys Office where I worked and I befriended her and she is Court Justice in Trinidad when needed. And the other is from Tobago and she worked as the lawyer at the law firm where Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams worked as the real lawyer in the TV series Suits filmed in Toronto. It was too dangerous though for her to work with the walking bomb clones of Megan Markle and Sarah Rafferty coming in to the office so she left and I had to take over her role as the Black Lawyer in Suits so by Season 3 I had to take over almost completely but she did a lot of the lawyering scenes and really deserves the credit as a really good lawyer who us real. She won the Emmy and deserved it as the only Female Black Actress to win any Award ever. So congratulations to her as a great Actress. We tried to keep t manipulation of Megan Markle to a minimum but dud include what she was attempting to do off camera to get into Harvard Law to one up Patrick J Adams who she discredited as a Harvard Law Graduate. She was always a problem for the Crown Attorneys in particular him as her target. I was targeted by her as well when studying at UofT and so I know from her behaviour off camera the real nastiness she has as Arab of Dubai toward us as Royals as Canadians. It really is a hatred and jealousy. Unfortunately the Arabs are War Criminals of being unknown largely as part of WWII so their animosity seems to be modern but it really is a very long standing Jealousy of Jesus. Anyway all of the real Caribbean Islanders all passed Judgement on Judgement Day and God brought them home to the Islands. Queen of Canada ? Royal Chieftain of Indians of America ?? who is Métis

So my bf is half Jamaican and Chinese. And one day some native women told him “go back to your country” ??‍♀️ he was born in Canada.

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.

I have seen lots of racism but it is usually Chinese vs Japanese, Jamaican vs Africans, Punjabi vs white, french, black, arab...Ismaili vs anyone else, Muslim vs anyone else. I have also seen a lot of racism vs philipinos and mexicans even though they are the friendliness.

Half of the black Canadians they interviewed are Jamaican or of Jamaican descent. 876 represent!
