Yes,Canada is a systemic racism country, worse than the US

I hope all countries eventually eradicate racism. US, Canada, where ever it may be.

I think now you won't be accepted at all as a refugee from the US into Canada and vice versa. You have to apply in whichever of the countries you entered. I don't know if that was the law when this video was made.

There is such a misconception that western Europe and Canada is more excepting of immigrants then th US. Those countries may use softer word but make no mistake the US has always taken some of the most immigrants per capita of any 1st world nation.

4:23 “with targeted info graphics warning them about misinformation” they should have added from our PM and other politicians. I hate how the US is appeared to be the bad guy in all this but fact are facts. If you allow everyone to flee their countries because of hardships, your country will fail. People need to understand that people from their home country have to come first. In America Americans have to come first, the same for Canada, ect, ect. The US takes in a good amount of people seeking permanent residency.

Canada is a boring country to live in and their immigration is more strict than the US’s especially from the Obama years

Drew,, you forgot to mention the gun policy between the two countries, we know the huge difference between US and Canada

No they are NOT similar. The US is a terrible, racist, egocentric and aggressive country. Canada is a peaceful, loving, tolerant and with good friendly and normal people. RIP GEORGE FLOYD

Despite being smaller in size the US has a much bigger population the 3rd highest in the world with 329 million residents but Canada is the 39th most Populous Country with 37 million people

These two countries are very similar every side like currency name, area language culture political system education ..... etc except the population although they are almost same equal area why US is so populated and canada is less densely populated That is not fair I don’t understand here ??

At least two more differences between the US and Canada (I'm a Montrealer myself with American-born parents):\n\n1) When going to the different parts of Canada, they feel that much more different from each other (in the buildings, highway signs, etc.) than the different parts of the US. For example, British Columbia feels like a foreign country compared to not just Quebec (the most obviously different province in Canada) but also compared to Nova Scotia or Manitoba, whereas Washington state or Minnesota is less different than Pennsylvania or Massachusetts.\n\n2) Native Americans (or First Nations, as they're called in Canada) make up a way higher proportion of the Canadian than American population, though less so percentage-wise in Montreal or Toronto or even Quebec City, and they are thus much more in the consciousness of the average Canadian than the average American.

I love Canada, I have a lot of family in Toronto and have been there many times as well as Montreal and Vancouver. Tbh, there’s no place like the US. We have all types of climates and geography. From deserts, tundra, rain forests, etc. We have some of the best mountains, beaches, and cities on Earth. If you like cold weather, stay up north like Chicago or Boston. If you like normal every season weather, we have many places for that. Mediterranean weather in California, and tropical weather in Florida. We have it all. We have the best sports fans in the world and every sport is accepted here. You can even see so many people play Rugby and Cricket in many parks. Many great universities throughout the country. Best attractions in the world for all age groups. High pay and decent cost of living in most part of the country. Supercar culture is the best in the world especially in SoCal (my personal favorite), TV and entertainment, and the list keeps going on and on. I know that the government in this country is pretty messed up, but hopefully that will be resolved in the future. I also respect the safety that Canada has, but have to admit that Toronto is getting pretty dangerous in some areas. Plus the History of America is amazing. I really do love Canada and would live there if I had to move out of the country, but there’s no place like the USA. ??❤️??

Canada? We speak like Americans but look, we say ''EH'' at the end of our phrases. That makes us sound Canadian. If you think that adding a stupid word at the end of a phrase is creating an accent, its an insult for all the countries that have spend centuries to develop an actual accent that makes them sound different from the others. You guys are in denial.

In my experience, what I've seen: anglophone Canada and Canadians are pretty much the same as the rest of the US. Francophone Canada: that's something different. People speak another language, they have a very different culture and they're more conscious about other countries and cultures.

Error china is bigger than us becaus of sea or ocean terretory so china wins becaus its land and us is lower but many count the ocean terretory so us is 4th biggest country also dont say then why canada is 2th when its 2m km of sea bc its different read

I love both US and Canada, they are extremely beautiful and nice. My country is the most perfect in the world.

I totally agree with you Lloyd Douglas and his column black in Canada. I find it to be swept under the carpet as far as racism is concerned, they smile in front of you but behind you they Stab you in the back .well the Americans is right up front I can work with you but I won’t socialize with you, at least you’re truthful.\n\n I find Canadians to be very two face , Hidden they true feeling and pretend a lot . I have experienced the first time in my life racism was within Canada and it brought me to tears. I live in America for so many years no one had ever call me the N word , I never felt so humiliated and lower my self-esteem. So when I was coming to this country they say it was multicultural but that don’t mean black. Even the so-called people they call them selves Brown consider black people as nothing but I am here to say we are something , we are the future , embrace us , celebrate us , and accept us.there are good people and bad people in every race. ?

Trudeau how can you get live on tv and telling lies saying that theres no more illegals comming in at roxham road shame on you Trudeau patriots let's get together and stop this and Trudeau as to step down enought is enought canada first not the illegals go back to your country and fix your country I'm signing and you got my vote Trudeau got to step down ty for the news let's stop this its or c country not islam we have enought of Trudeau let's take him out nowwww Trudeau pretending that this is not happening usa got to stop this to from crossing to canada if we dont do anything it's going to look like greece god bless us all amen shame on you Trudeau and the illegals

I’m so sorry for all of you precious people of Canada! You’re our neighbors (the state of Tennessee USA here) and we see you’re having to put up with everything the Democrats want to do to us if they come into power this November. (The only way they could do that is voter fraud, which is exactly what happened in what we call the mid-term elections in November 2018, when some House of Representatives and Senate seats come open in the two-year cycle halfway thru the Presidential elections - that’s how they won the House back) \n\nThat poor displaced family, though. Bless them; officials need to get to the bottom of where they’ve been, where they actually have citizenship, and attend to them properly and GET CANADIANS HOME! President Trump needs to go up there and jerk a knot in Mr. Trudeau’s rear end. (That’s an old country Southern saying; don’t overthink it please!?? We finally have a President who may be a little bristly, but he loves America and Americans and he is working hard for us!)\n\nBut seriously, wish you much success and although I can’t monetarily, our greatest weapon is prayer and my armor is on (Ephesians 6)!!! Keean, you’ve stepped up to the plate because you love Canada and want to do what’s right by her! You’re doing a wonderful job - “absolutely fantastic” as my YouTube friend Mentour pilot would say. So we hope the situation gets resolved quickly, because this virus is taking its toll on everyone in more ways than one, and in ways we’ve not even seen yet and have no way to predict. Keep looking up though! And make sure you belong to Jesus Christ . Amen!

Should allow her to stay in Canada. So big country, we need young educated people here, making us stronger.

This message is to Leland Native American I am able making myself and how dare you say that you are jealous of that white man know this is our country it's not there's just because you're in Canada and their Canada know you make sure that you never see that again because no wipers and it's boil is going to be better than us take that to the bank

Canada has been fine for my 50 years until a dictator was voted in who imposes cash grab taxes no.body wants and is working to steal legally owned firearms from innocent, law abiding citizens.\nFurthermore, ruining the country’s economic future and present due to being a total failure at everything except conning the gullible.....man...I could just keep going! Sad sigh. I’d like to join you in the US.

I am Living in Ottawa I am white, I lived here my whole life and now I am a minority I deal with different races all the time and I do feel that I am being pushed out of my country different ethnicities treat me with disrespect I was growing up with Canadian culture of respecting everyone around you but I fine with all these different cultures coming in I’m losing my Canadian identity and it is a lot for me to hold strong onto the values as of what the Canadian is and I’m a fourth generation Canadian I see what’s happening to our veterans I visit my grandfather every other week and I see all the different nationalities that are PSW‘s and nurses And I really mean no offence but we have a different level of respect we have a different way of talking and these different nationalities coming in they all click together and some of them they treat the men who built this country with such disrespect please listen to meand I’m really not Trying racially profile this is been happening for the last 15 years and I’m not being silent about it Canada is freedom of speech Canada is being strong enough to speak up I mean this from the bottom of my heart if you’re coming into my country that my grand parents built for me and my children can you please give my children the opportunity that you were now taking from them and I see how they treat our veterans I see how difficult it is for seniors that didn’t have a placement in our homeless I see that all of our government funding is now going to people that are now immigrating into Canada and they’re being able to start up small businesses have four bedroom townhomes in their children to schools and drive them and fancy SUVs can you look around us and see somebody sold Canada

I think subtle racism is actually a very practical type of stereotyping and it didn't just got created out of air, there is a big chunk of that specific race (be it any race according to the stereotype) who actually prove the stereotype to be right. I am from india, living in Canada and if some house owner would prefer a white guy over me to rent their house, I would not blame him since a lot of people don't like the smell of spices that we cook all the time.\n\nAs far as stereotyping is sublet and not rude or hurting, I don't think it's actually so much of racism rather then preference.\n\nI just want to make it clear though that I do support racism, whatever is happening in US and a lot of other countries which is violent is a very horrible thing. Specially black people being racially profiled everywhere including malls and by the police themselves.

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.

With 70 years communism rule chinese have became faithless people, people are money worship, people do everything possible to earn money and do everything they can do with money.Most of these wealthy chinese get their fortune by illicit way in China,so they need a country they can hide their money safe, Canada, US and Australia are always the prior choice, As a chinese I feel really sorry to see this.

For gods sake , in Rome do as Romans do. And most Islamic countries we have do as they want us to do so why don’t they do as Canada’s public wants.

Leftist Politicians of Canada, US & Europe plz Question yourselves and answer Honestly, Why so many Muslim Refugees are flooding Christian European & North America, Which are infested by supposed unclean Pork Eaters. If they are really in peril they should migrate to pure Islamic Oil rich countries of Saudi Arabia & Iran or Self styled protector, Nuclear Power like Pakistan. Politicians who support & welcome tides of Muslim immigrants are doing great act of treason against their own country, culture & people.

??\nIslam gives higher status to women \nDen go to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, afghanistan, Syria.. \nY to live in christian country\nIf Islam z so fantastic\nY all refugees run to Europe UK US Canada

*THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO ENSURE IMMIGRANTS HERE ARE COMING TO PRACTICE CANADIAN VALUES! YOU SIMPLY CANNOT HAVE A COUNTRY THAT HAS THEM ALL WITHIN POCKETS OF THE COUNTRY, ALL IT DOES IS DIVIDE PEOPLE!! IN CANADA WE PRACTICE CANADIAN CULTURE, HISTORY, THE RELIGION WE WERE FOUNDED ON, MORALS, LAWS... WHEN YOU BRING IN PEOPLE EN-MASS WHO HAVE TOTALLY DIFFERENT VALUES YOU GET POCKETS OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WHO WANT/PRACTICE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. MULTICULTURALISM LIKE THAT CANNOT WORK!! NOW AS THE NUMBERS GROW - AND WE SEE THOSE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WHO TRIED BEFORE US, LIKE THE UK, WE CAN SEE OUR FUTURE AND ITS NOT GOOD!!*

Canada is a virgin territory for everyone.\nwhites have no privileges for the stolen territory.\nthen any kind of white racism in north america is considered a reinforcement of what they have been doing for along time there and must be condemned as one of the highest crimes in those countries (Canada,US) like the crime of french negationnisme

? This Canadian guy made me laugh when he said 'wht abt sharia!?' i mean wht about it? Go study about it dumbshit no country is even following sharia law the version of sharia u see in Saudi Arabia is called wahabism and has nothing to do with sharia law if countries followed sharia law the world would be a better place for example western countries for example Canada is following sharia to some extent because they implement laws based on human rights and equality etc forbids today's banking system eg interests and loans based on interests even today's money is bogus and haraam if we were to follow Sharia Law and those are some of the things that sharia teach us

To answer him about sharia\nNo muslim immigrant said muslims want sharia law in canada, as muslims we are told to follow the rules of whatever country we are in excpet when the law tells us to not obey god, for exampl, forcing us to drink alcohol.\nSharia law is in islamic countrys, which myself i completely agree with, but in countrys that took us in as refugees we can not and will not and have not the authority to call for sharia law, and I doubt anyone is doing it, so this guy is clearely an idiot who thinks he knows something but he doesn t.

We have people that are US citizens that want to seek asylum in Canada. Everyone gets a fair trial. Trudeau meant straight from the country

lol..People like us have to first study in our home countries till a graduation then have to study in canada by spending 30-40thousand CAD,then clear language exams,get some year of Canadian work experience then Immigration officer can decide if we are eligible for canadian PR.

We are not an empty country canada rn is having a huge overpopulation crisis we dont want this Trudeau wants this and I hope next election we vote conservative cause hes ruining us

I went to canada with my family when i was 6 years old i thought it was so beautiful the native americans treated us with kindness my dad bought me some moccisens there. A chinese immagrant restaurant owner was nice to us the white people many of them wrent very nice this was in 1969 in the summer but i loved the wilderness and wanted to go back and see the indians. I was a dreamer. Unfortenately and through my own fault after i got out of the military honerably discharged . I got a dui again it was my stupidity but i payed my fine did my jail time and got educated about not drinking and driving. It is not a felony i the US but it is in Canada so canada gets ahold of my driving records maybe they hacked in. And said i could not go into canada. I noticed they let george w. Busch in though oh well i dont think canada even pretends fainess under the law . Any way they are now letting elligals into canada and giving them a hotel room . The duplicity is absurd personally i no longer want to go to canada for anything i think the wall should be put on the northern border. When it came to our driving records there is no border does my information belong to a foriegn country? As US citizens do you think your information belongs to a other country?

HOLA I WENT TO CANADA ... IT IS A GREAT COUNTRY AND EASY TO GET A JOB AND LIVE WITHOUT THE DANGER OF BEING DEPORTED ... PLENTY OF JOBS AND FREE HEALTHCARE ... THEY DO NOT HAVE THE SAME KIND OF LAW ENFORCEMENT THAN THE US ... O' CANADA

*He gave $15,000 to Lawyers in Canada. So he supports friends of and future Politicians that will send him back to ...?*\n*Corruption in most of the Countries in the Americas! Mexico maybe the most corrupt, by all the drug money coming from majority of Democrats in the US. Same Lawyers and Politicians making money from all sides, legal and illegal. Sad.*

The thing is, Mexico is not in conflict for its people to seek asylum somewhere else. It is not good to just jump ship to any country and fight whoever so that you stay there. You struggled. You spent so much money on lawyers, when immigration laws don't approve of anyone going into US illegally and then file asylum. Sorry but the immigration lawyers just took your money and pretend to help you and that there are solutions. If a US citizen jumps ship to your country, would you declare that his presence there is illegal? US, Canada or any country wouldn't want that. It's like jumping on one's lawn, make house and wouldn't want to leave. That's how it is.

I thought it was bad that a year later in Canada, he still isn't speaking English whatsoever, but interviewed in his native tongue. Then I see that he was in the US for 15 freaking years, and didn't bother there either. I see he and his family has no intention of assimilating. How long before we have a little El Salvador, w/ all the crime they supposedly left. People that won't assimilate to us inevitably bring all their country's crap and woes w/ them. Also, this man who can't be bothered to speak our language is getting work in Alberta. Where native Albertans who do speak English are hard pressed for work. So how chaotic is that job site he's working on not speaking the language? Or do we already have little El Salvador there and he's right in w/ his homies?

Your dam straight they better be concerned. We didn't ask for them to come here and disrupt our country. Go back home and do your thing there. We love Canada and your destroying us. So sit tight, we are rising up. Time to rethink your strategy of taking control....we won't allow you too!

So he felt rejected? Let me explain why he is rejected. He lived in the US for years and now he is in Canada. Both countries are English speaking countries and he doesn’t seem to speak English. So yes is was rejected, but he rejected us first.

Jzt awesome bro... Plz do post more... Thanks a lot for helping us... May I get ur watz up no... Bro ... Could plz tel me how do I find a job in Canada.. have been looking for a job so long time intensely.... Did you give iltes exam or any sort of language exam for entering to That country ? Plz let me know ....

People think that living in foreign countries us good and relaxing and you enjoy a lot. Well this is not true. I have one of my friends who told me the way he lives and works and studies in Canada. Believe me, you won't like to hear what he told me. He does two part time jobs starting from morning to afternoon at 3 and does another one from 4 to 8 and he barely gets 4 to 5 hours to study. At times when there are exams or tests in the college, he has to skip the work and go to the College but when he skips, he feels from deep inside that for today I don't have even this amount of money and believe me, staying in Canada or any other county is not as easy as eating a plate of rice and on the first time when you go to look for a job, you will get it at McDonald's or any type of restaurants. And the work my friend does is to cut meat at McDonald's in Canada.

Canada wants and needs people like that family who are here only to make a decent living and do not want to make trouble for us canadians...we are not racists but we don't like the muslims because they keep asking for special favors that are denied for us canadians and that is getting on the nerves of the population and Trudeau is the one responsible for this because he's the one who invited them over and now we are stuck with them because they are making trouble for us like they do all over the other countries who greeted them!!!But we intend to correct the situation by voting Trudeau and his liberals OUT and start cleaning up our country so it's livable again!

You know, we in the US used to resent Canada because they seemed kinder and more generous. We were jealous of that. Americans seemed harsher and greedy. Now I feel very sorry for Canadians. It is already a seriously divided country . And it looks like if they continue with generosity to these immigrant hordes they are going to be overwhelmed . What a shame!! Such nice caring people. They are being fleeced and are beginning to look foolish

Go home!!! Didn't bother to become a US citizen for 15 years, didn't bother to learn English, then came to Canada hoping we'll welcome him with open arms and a nice free house to live in. Piss off, maybe in your next life you'll try harder to be a legitimate citizen in the country you choose to live.

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.

If I were from a 3rd world country I'd seek the US or Canada because of the generous benefits.
