It's ice hockey... field hockey is quite different..

Vice news unfortunately is quite Shallow. The war in Mexico does not get reported by the Mainstream media including Vice News. ..What war you might ask.?? Well look it up? It's real..Jesus Christ loves us All. March 20, 2020..

Trudeau is quite literally killing Canada...

Good reporting work. Quite unlike the CBC which is getting billions of taxpayer dollars.

Now when i hear someone speak Chinese I simply join their conversation. It is an opportunity for me to practice speaking Mandarin. Turbans are actually quite useful during snowstorms. I learned how to wear one Tuareg style while I was living in the Atacama Desert. I actually prefer to hang around foreigners than Americans as Americans all sound like robots who simply repeat what they have heard off fox news.

The modern wold accepting the bronze age. Quite a paradox.

so for the curious, the guy was asking someone off camera (his wife I assume) to hold his phone so he could move his car out of the way for the woman. that's what I got from it.\nwhich puts their personalities in quite stark contrast.

You may be able to control discrimination and language through legislation, but you can never hope to control how people think about these same things. I am quite convinced this racism - in whatever form it takes is very much a inherent feature of the human condition - immaterial of ancestral heritage. I'm a white guy and have experienced racism all over Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East.

My mother was German/Irish. My father was french/dutch. I tan quite well, enough time in the sun and I get Puerto Rican dark. I got my dad's curly hair. I spent 10 years on the south coast of of the US so when I moved back to Missouri I was quite dark, not really an issue on the cost as everyone is kinda dark lol Back in Missouri I got followed around stores, had my bags checked coming out of stores, had clears talk to me in slow broken English, and before I could open my mouth was told they didn't speak spanish. I have since lost my tan and all that with it. Stuff like that is a real wake up call.

Quit watching it not even minute and you can already see him race-baiting. The lady told the white man that the price was not set but it would be roughly around 900. The other guy came and and she gave a set price of 930 and tried to insinuate that it was cuz our racism. She said it was around nine hundred for the white guy didn't put a set price. Secondly white people get followed around in stores just as much as blacks. does it matter what color you are hang out in Walmart too long and see how many people start following lol.

I quit watching after 8:24 I seen they weren't using the black guy!!! whats the sense? I guess someone told them they couldn't because it would make Canada look bad

Quite right ! If you go to any of their countries they treat you like crap .\nI wouldn't give anyone of colour my house to rent

Psychology student here. In the interest of accurate information, I would like to point out some flaws I find with some of the studies in this documentary and question the conclusions reached. I understand that CBC Marketplace are not personality psychologists and therefore cannot be expected to produce the same quality of work as a scientist. However, I think it is worthwhile to think critically about the information in the media that we consume. I am also open to anyone who wants to engage in debating the contents of this documentary.\n\n\nThe following are some notes I took while watching the documentary outlining the individual hypotheses of the studies I think are flawed and descriptions of their respective accompanying errors. \n\n\nThere are three possible research questions, and thereby dependent variables, being answered by the apartment hunting studies.\n1. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \n \n2. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man between Toronto, Montreal, Regina, and Victoria, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could total apartments visited be a confounding variable? (4 in Toronto, 3 in Montreal, Regina, and Victoria) \nb. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \nc. They only showed the black man apartment hunting in some of the trials. I am considering him out of the study for consistency purposes. The first-nations man is the only one who got unfair treatment in the footage of apartment hunting. \n \n3. Possible hypothesis: If male landlords/agents are more discriminatory than female landlords/agents, then the white man and the first-nations man will get different treatment at different Canadian apartments in equally diverse cities. \na. Don’t know all the information about the genders of the landlords/agents, not all the footage is shown, but the ones where they get ripped off are male. The others shown are female. The remaining interactions are not shown.\n\n\nThere are also some factors that may have influenced the racial bias survey and, in my estimation, rendered it scientifically unreliable.\n\n\n1. The bias survey and accompanying tests at the CBC attributed the differences between the studies to unconscious racism. What if it was just due to familiarity with certain racial groups over others? \na. The black participants had no bias between European-American and African Americans, supposedly indicating no racism, while the white and first-nations participants did, supposedly indicating racism. Is it possible that another interpretation of this result is that bias is a function of familiarity: that we are comfortable with the majority demographic in the geographical location we live in, as well as our own kind. Therefore, the black guys are less biased against black people due to being both black and living in a white majority demographic? \nb. The participants took the survey knowing the objectives of the researchers was to study racial discrimination. They might have influenced the answers they gave \nc. Whether the participants agreed with identity politics or not was a confounding factor that was not controlled . You can only be racially unbiased biased if you think that racial identity is a means of accurately viewing the world. People who do not believe in the existence of identity politics may answer the questions quite differently, which could be a different reason for the results.\nd. I took the study myself. The words that participants were required to match were a mix of adjectives and nouns. It is known within psychology that nouns have higher levels of imagery. This was not properly controlled and therefore is another confounding variable. \n \nAll the other studies looked fine to me. I welcome any discussion on my observations.

The idea that Canada has always been multicultural is a myth. The idea that white men slaughtered all the natives is also a myth. So quit trying to rewrite history

This is quite normal and disgusting..i have faced this a lot in auckland nz ..so much that i kind of hate going to few stores there..and the truth is that racism didn’t came from the whites only ..

I’ve been accused of racially profiling someone. Because my coworker asked them if then needed assistance & then I did without realizing she already had. She thought we were the same person. I guess because we are both white with brown hair? Felt awful afterward. Not sure why people would even think to spy on people of colour whilst shopping. Usually (in my experience) the people who steal seem sketchy - they won’t make eye contact, are standoffish etc. Those are the people to keep an eye on. You’re just wasting your time otherwise. I get followed quite frequently. It’s pretty funny because I’ve never stolen anything from a store in my life

Im gonna quit my job and beg for money for refugees with a scarf on my head, far more profitable than what I currently am doing

Quite tolerant!! Good to know they'll tolerate me there.

Ok, here we go: i hate 2 things here - racism and aliens from planet Nibira, which is quite far away, to be honest.

this is quite sad. using a people's system against them, probably will make it more difficult for well meaning law, abiding potential migrants.

I think the fact that a brown man, with an obviously Muslim sounding name, was elected or appointed ( not well versed in Canadian political matters) is PHENOMENAL! It demonstrates that despite their racial and ethnic challenges as a nation they're changing for the better, and that's what matters! EXCELLENT VID and quite informative!!!

You should see the other side of coin. Islam has a true meaning which u can observe from the life of prophet Muhammad (PBUH). I too love Jesus(PBUH) and other prophets following their path whereas the so called white liberal people are quite opposite to that.

Canada has given asylum to lots of people fleeing countries in the midst of civil wars, those who face political persecution where it threatens their life or liberty. Coming from a place that's just really violent is not quite the same, I mean some places in the US are really violent e.g. Chicago, you wouldn't expect Canada to give asylum to US citizens on this basis.

When Islam is being nice, it is so they can be accepted into your country. They are tolerant when they are not strong and don't have power. When they have enough and are strong then they change for the worse. \n \nTHIS IS A COPY/PASTE FROM A MUSLIM WEBSITE. Muhammad himself hoisted the standard of killing, looting, massacres and bloodshed. How can we deny the entire history? The behaviour of our Holy Prophet as recorded in authentic Islamic sources is quite questionable from a modern viewpoint. The Prophet was a charismatic man but he had few virtues. Imitating him in all aspects of life (following the Sunnah) is both impossible and dangerous in the 21st century. Why are we so helplessly in denial over this simple issue? \nWhen the Prophet was in Mecca and he was still not powerful enough he called for tolerance. He said “To you be your religion, and to me my religion” (109:6). \nThis famous quote is often misused to prove that the general principle of Qur’an is tolerance. He advised his follower to speak good to their enemies (2: 83), exhorted them to be patient (20:103) and said that “there is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). But that all changed drastically when he came to power. Then killing and slaying unbelievers with harshness and without mercy was justified in innumerable verses. The verses quoted to prove Islam’s tolerance ignore many other verses that bear no trace of tolerance or forgiveness. Where is tolerance in this well-known verse “Alarzu Lillah, Walhukmu Lillah.” (The Earth belongs to Allah and thus only Allah’s rule should prevail all over the earth.)

I am a Chinese, I met this guy in person when they were holding an event in Shanghai, I want to move to Canda so much, but at that time I couldn't reach the level of IELTS English qualification. But after all, I made my decision not to join, I think it is illegal and risky. But finally, after 2 years of continuous studying of English, I could reach the level of 7.5 in IELTS. Now I have submitted all the necessary documents, but my case had been in pending for quite a long time, feeling my application could be quite hopeless.

https://youtu.be/WjmDwWUhEpg?t=1377 He's carrying a huge bag. A difference from the other shoppers. Don't you think they see that big bag and see where someone could stuff merchandise into the bag quite easily?

She collected $200 total?! That's quite a haul yea? I am willing to bet as a middle age white Male, tattoos, usually dressed in shorts, golf polo, sandals, ball cap, facial hair. I'm confident no matter what what I wear, most places in north America I don't walk with anywhere near $200 after 3 hours..

If you come to the United Kingdom you abide by our laws if you do not like the way we run our country then you are quite welcome to leave we would not stop you.

We need to have a little bit of compassion for Muslims who are struggling with this. Imagine that you were born into Islam. You didn't ask for it. You just happened to be unlucky enough to be born into a Muslim country and raised under it. It's not their fault that they believe what they believe. \nWe need to help them to free them from the chains of Islam. The way to help them and free them from Islam is by educating them with the truth. It's difficult for them to accept because they have devoted their entire life to it. It's also quite a shock when they see all of the errors in the Quran which is supposed to be the pure word of an all-powerful and all-knowing God. Then they see things like- the sun revolves around the earth and sets in a pool of muddy water. It's like somebody telling you that your dear friend has been lying to you for the last 50 years of your life. You just can't believe it. You don't want to believe. You defend your friend, you love your friend. \n\nSo instead of insulting these poor Muslim people try helping them by suggesting that they read the Koran cover to cover from beginning to end. Then they will see for themselves that this 7th century book conflicts with modern scientific and historical knowledge. That's when they will realize that Muhammad invented the entire thing so that people would obey him and treat him like a god on Earth. That's when they will realize that he was a 7th century man who knew nothing about the scientific knowledge that we have now in this century. That's when they will realize that the Quran is filled with threats of punishment and violence for not believing and not obeying the supposed word of God given to them by Muhammad. Muhammad put harsh punishments in it so that they would submit out of fear. This is why Islam is so violent. \n\nTo our Muslim friends in humanity. I'm so sorry that you were lied to. So sorry that you wasted much of your life devoting it to Islam. I'm so grateful to those of you who have not followed the violence of Islam commanded in the Quran. But now you are free with the truth. Go and live your life in Peace and freedom. Love your fellow humans and help your fellow humans. Try to spread the truth to other Muslims and help them. Follow the example of apostate prophet who is trying to help Muslims with his you tube videos.\n I urge all Muslims to read the entire Quran. Don't let non-muslims like me know more about the Quran than you do. If you don't think that the scientific facts conflict with the Koran, then read the entire Quran and look up the scientific facts. If you really search for the truth you will find it.

I really don't know why people continue leaving their own countries. I am from México and I live quite well, Ive been in NY, Disneyland, San Diego etc, and many places around México beaches and all. I have job.offers I really dont understand why they go somewhere they are not appriciated :/

This is not a religion ,QUIT SAYING IT IS, it is a political ideology way of life that has sharia laws, barbaric laws from the medi evil day's

I came to Canada to travel but on an immigration visa in 1965, I got a job from Canada employment centre for 1.50 where nobody spoke english , I quit after 1 day. A week later I found a job in the machineshop for 3.00 Dollars. Good thing the foreman found a portugiese employee who translated from spanish to english, I myself spoke german, ever since then I did I was on the upswing. The government gave me nothing, had enough money to go back. Always a dictionary in my pocket. In six weeks i know enough english to make the driverlicence and bought a car.

I never feel uncomfortable at shopper drug mart they see me often and I chatted with them quite often but at some place yes I kind of wonder why they do that and make me don't want to spend any pennies in their store again for sure .

This clip is quite helpful

let me catch u in FB...need to ask few more questions and your video is quite helping...

I just ignore it or confront the person if I sense that someone is being prejudice towards me. Otherwise, MOST people are NOT prejudice! So QUIT focusing the negative aspect of human frailties and focus on the good side! It seems like if one person is one bad apple, media likes to focus on that one bad apple and forgot to focus that the rest of the apples are still good and healthy!

I am white and i get followed by floor walkers quite often by white, Asian and East Indians so should i call racism? the only people i hate are people that think women and children have no rights, fear mongers, people that promote separatism and people that think that they can own another human-being as slaves o and people that judge others but cant look in the mirror at the real issue before pointing the finger.

Why you think they bend over backwards for you that's the problem you people believe you are entitled and your not quit blaming other countries for your problems we are sympathetic but we are getting tired of you thinking we owe each and every one of you we don't owe you shit but we will help you with you helping yourself also

Working in the Canadian North before communication was common, the industry attracted millions of the Culture of Industry. One Monday morning they all assembled at the office to quit because they heard Canada was at war and they, one and all, were going to fight beside their adopted countrymen. Compare immigrants from a Culture of Industry compared to a Culture of Enforced Obedience.

10 million bucks for 2 years in prison. And how much did it cost us to do this 2-year investigation? I should quit my job and make a living via fraud in this country.

Islamic people you all know that there is only one way to God and that is thru Jesus Christ. quit playing game micovies

Paroled after two years, with $10M (apart from laundered money somewhere else) is quite a good deal. Of course everyone wants to come to Canada, the land of opportunity and graceful justice. Oh, he probably snatched some real estate properties (cash delivered in garbage bags) from hard working families. Well done, absolutely efficient immigration system.

So, why don't you guys bring the same issue about the dual citizenship of israelis. Quit your hypocritical bullshit.

This is nothing. You should do some research into the Muslim immigrants that come here, divorce their first wife, set up a fake apartment in the basement of the house and sponsor the 2nd wife to come in, divorce her, set up a fake apartment in the basement, repeat twice over and each divorced wife gets extra benefits from the government for being a single mother. It happens quite a lot.

Just don't quite understand, since when has there been such big Muslim population/influence in the UK? Where did they come from? the UK border did let those Muslims in legally, right? I mean, you welcomed some people to your home, but now seems you are not that OK with that, then why did you let them come in the first place. Confused really.

When Canada’s PM made those remarks he was talking about Syrian refugees that are escaping a civil war. There are literal bombs falling down on Syria. El Salvador does not have that problem, Salvadorians have long been able to work legally in US, they send a lot of money to their home countries and visit quite often because it’s not at war. Why would this man go to Canada? And why was he hiding in a church? Did he break the law??

LMBO and once again our stupid government pretend this is not happening - nothing quite like sticking your head in the sand, reminds me of our history WW1 and WW2 we learn fuck all until its almost too late, and then and only then we act

Why just Mexico. Why not millions of Chinese. millions or more Russians.millions of Africans open those borders for everyone. hey we are good democrats and want to help. We're not like those mean Republicans. It's the worlds country come on in. Give your pay check to the government and they can give out the money. Hey I'm quitting my job if the money will be given to me. Oh Jesus now no one works? Where is the money? What do we do now. Look back on the old tapes. Borders were great when Obama and Clinton spoke about it but not Trump. He is a meany.

Islam is a hateful intolerant death cult. Prove me otherwise. Ban the burka, niqab and bikini. Kick religion to the back of the bus for sanity of all Canadians. Tell them to quit taking their backward values down Canadians throats. Don't hear Mennonites taming their religion down our throats. Only Islam does this and Canadians are sick of it.

yeah man, USA gets a bad rap because of our free media policies.\nbut Canada is wayyyyy more strict than the USA.\nIts actually quite freeeing to see the Canadian gov have to deal with this bullshit after criticizing the USA for so long.
