White people need to understand that they're not more or better then others, the white race of people is the most hateful people on earth, it is true they do have some good people in there race, but it's the bad people in that race that makes other race's hate them,whites seem to FORGET that other race's do play a part in the success of the United States of America

I don't understand what's the point you're trying to make with this video. It seems like you're trying to blame Canada and Trudeau for the situation that he is in; You (VICE) place emphasis on his situation and his family, trying to drum up sympathy for him, but the way I see it is, he's to blame for it. He came here of his own volition and with a family by trying to get around the system. That's doesn't make him sympathetic, it makes him stupid and naive and impulsive. Frankly, it insulting and infuriating because there are people who wait YEARS and pay thousands of dollars who are actually in need of coming to Canada. And now, because of people like him is the reason why the system is backed up to point of instead of waiting for 60 days, you have to wait as much as 20 months before you hear back (which unfortunately, encourages more border-hopping and situations exactly like this)

Can't speak a word of English or French then wonder why he is getting rejected everywhere he goes. Perhaps what's needed is for these illegals to return home to make there own country great again. What I don't get is places so many of these people come from is a paradise. They ought to be ashamed and God is punishing them for their treachery .

Go back and make your country great again. The world needs you.

so this guy it photographed building houses? he took some carpenters job and probably got paid half of what a carpenter makes. who says they don't take our jobs is full of shit. if you introduce millions of asylum seekers into a country think about the impact it has on the community and the citizens who live there. you people need to go back to your country.

Trudeau is a weak leader. He showed he is unable to put his emotions aside long enough to make a rational decision based on what's best for his country and immigrants/refugees. Then he had to back-track, but not until he had caused additional and unnecessary hardship. This shows his lack of maturity which to me, makes him an unfit leader. Leaders need to have the intestinal fortitude to make tough decisions based on projected consequences, even it means his numbers take a temporary dive in the polls. \n\nTrudeau obviously views compassion as a positive trait and it is, but only when balanced by wisdom. Otherwise, it leaves a person open to being reactionary, rather than proactive. Compassion applied unwisely leads to its opposite which is cruelty as was demonstrated as the outcome in this video. If Trudeau was really compassionate he would not have spoken in a way that gave false hope.

Wouldnt 15k in mexico been worth a lot more? Not sure why you needed to leave. Plenty of business there. They make car parts, precision instruments, movie hard copies, cars, they get many tourists. \n\nYea it isnt as developed, but you have to learn a new language when leaving. You have to wait for due process, you have to find a place and get a job all of which has different requirements. \nIt would take a lot for me to just leave to china, russia or anywhere else even if it does have a more appealing offer. \n\nMy family is here, my home is here. be different if you were a refugee abroad in war zone.

You must come to Canada with your pockets full of money and you better have a means of Making a living,or you will not be allowed to enter into Canada or Live. Trudeau was grandstanding he was just trying to show up Trump, And now everyone knows he's nothing more than a blowhard....I guess that little stunt cost the Canadian People a small fortune and will continue to cost Canada. Maybe you Canadians should start building a wall. Your gonna need it.

there is racism and prejudice everywhere. on every level no matter gender, race, religion, culture. etc. no matter where you go. but if these guys take a trip to any of those corrupted third world backwards countries they would see how good they really have it. us foolish americans canadians dont know how good we have it. we are living in the freest country nation and society ever seen in the history of the world. at least our country creates new laws every year to make our people feel safe. but other islamic countries continue following laws made in the 15th century. do you see and appreciate the difference.\n\nsure people will label you based off your skin tone and your demeanor. BUT WHY? because they have had bad history with those that look just like you. i have had REALLY REALLY bad experiences with asians in everything. so i naturally stay away from all asians and i do not trust them. HOWEVER, i feel when foreigners come to this country they ruin it for the rest of the citizens that are of similar foriegn race eventhough they were born there. WE NEED TO PUT OUR NATIONS CULTURES first. and thats what we have to teach everyone. we put our canada america pride priority and whatever culture we came from LAST. THATS WHY its best we learn to fix our people in a whole in our country before bringing in anymore foreigners who do not respect our nation. lets stop third world immigration and work on making our country great again. so we can stop all this crime in our neighborhoods. because it hinders our progress. once every race color ethnicity of people are acting right then we will have no prejudice based off color or even gender because everyone is giving everyone respect. but because CRIME IS HIGH in all foreign races, and we continue to disrespect eachother. nobody feels safe anymore. whether your light skinned white or black.

Canada has done extremely well for Immigrants, and we spend a lot of money on making sure we get hard working decent citizens.. We've recently made it easier for people to immigrate here. We welcome it. But it does have to be done legally. And yes, I agree with everyone else here. 15 years in English countries, and doesn't speak it himself is disgusting. I bet he'd learn the word food fast if he was starving. Also, those kids need to be in school. I hope he's not hiding them too cause they'll never learn English then.

Dear everyone,\n\nWe need to love each other and stop tearing each other apart. In my heart, I know humanity is better than this. We need to talk with one another and try to understand each other's perspectives. Please don't divide ourselves. We can make this world a much better place if we learn to put our differences aside and work together. I truly want the best for humanity. Please don't hurt each other. Please come together as one so we may all progress in the future. Everyone makes mistakes, but we can learn from them and move forward. Spread the message of love and peace, not hate and division. Stay safe everyone! ❤

Black people are the only people on earth, since the dawn of time, who have felt the need, because of their non-existent history of accomplishment, who have resorted to stealing the racial identities of ancient people so as to try to make it seem that they actually accomplished something. It's the most pathetic thing ever.

You are looking for a place to start your life? How about your own country. If you've been in America for 20 years, and you've NEVER put in the time to learn the language. If you want to fit in here and make it more easily, you need to speak English. And they have free classes all over America that teach English to people from South America. If you want to make a life in any country you have to make an effort to fit into their country.

as muslim girl myself. Am definitely against niqanb or da full Hijab cuz it won't make u life easy so instead of wearing niqab u need to be productive member in da sociaty. It may be ur choice to wear, but definitely it's not a exuse not do anything to improve ur life rather blaming every n calling them racist

The devil is in the details. People need to actually research before making a big decision to cross the border in attempt for asylum..Don't rely on word of mouth. My heart goes out to this guy as I see he will have to remain in Canada for years to hear an unlikely decision. Sincerely a Canadian????

Laws are laws you seek asylum in the first safe landing not your choice of wherever whenever. Why then can I not leave Canada and go live in another country undocumented then when I fear deportation just go to another country? Because it's illegal yeah. Ugh we are not here to be used and walk all over like a doormat especially if you are not working and paying taxes but taking everything you can get. There are plenty of people in dangerous situations like ukrane and other war torn areas that legit need a place he and his family were already in the US they shouldn't have left there to make fake claims here. Sorry but that's not how it works.

It's the assholes who lie about being targeted by their governments that make it harder for the ones who really need help.

if he doesn't like what is offered to him after sneeeking into the country, believe me he is more then welcome to haul himself and his family back south of the border, we might be a understanding country, but him refusing to go to that meeting makes him a illegal and as such needs to be deported, we already take in more people then the country can afford to support the number of refuges that we take in should be connected to what Canada is worth ass a whole if we have a good year maybe add a few to the list, bad year oh well to bad.

I dont feel sorry for him at all he knew what he was doing. He knew he was breaking the law he knew his family would be breaking the law by crossing the border illegally. I don't feel sorry for him for his wife or for his children. If he would have come across the right way he wouldn't be fighting to make sure he didn't go back to Mexico. It is his own fault and I don't feel bad about sending him his wife or his kids back across the border with their bags packed. Everybody's all poor Mexico people poor people come over they need help. No. They need to stand up to their local government fight back against the gang members and take their country back. If they're not happy with their country they need to fight and make the change.

I’m a New Democratic and even I’m thinking people like Jose are making it harder for those who truly need protection from actual persecution in their home country to get the help they need from Immigration.

It’s not any safer in any country than their own. They need to come to the realization that they need to stay in their countries & make the best of it because the US isn’t gonna be playing games much longer & Canada doesn’t want the issue moving up north.

You need to accept that Canada, United States, and other countries do not want you. Take your loss and go back to El Salvador. Make your money back.

They make life worse for themselves. They have to live in fear of being deported in the U.S and well in mexico you also have to fear cartels. Especially the new ones who are no value of life at all. They honestly just need to overthrow the Mexican government. It's the only way.

Maybe every taxpayer citizen of their country should do their own shutdown in unity and the government economicswill shut down because it will stop the flow of money and they need citizens money to make it work they would have no choice but to change legislation to protect their citizens instead of these citizens because all they did was use these do’s and do nots to make this socialism and make it work for them that’s why they do it it’s economic gain for them it’s huge profits

Did she just list honor killings as a part of Islam??? This journalist needs to research the religion properly because honor killings are not condoned whatsoever... this concept is just belted out by haters who are on a smear campaign of Islam. And then this journalist gave that farzana lady the last word of her 'critical' views on Islam it just undid everything the Muslims were doing before her giving a clearer picture of Islam, farzana lady will just make people confused I mean those are her personal opinions but how does it help this piece? Also last time I checked following fashion trends is not synonymous to peer pressure as what journalist wants to suggest that girl was peer pressured in to wearing the scarf when she clearly explained she wasn't. And when that guy was talking about teaching women Islamic studies journalist is like but you just teach them Islam not anything else WELL it's a mosque that's what people usually do if they want to learn religion they go to place of worship, if they want to learn something else they go to school or university. She's just twisting their words to give this undertone to the piece that yes the stereotypes are true but Muslims are still somewhat ok. Just stop spreading the hate and provide non-bias journalism!

As a proud atheist, I find all religious costumes to be either degrading, or just plain hilarious. \nTheir minds are poisoned from the time they are born, and that's child abuse. \nWe should be asking why we are allowing so much immigration. The answer - families don't have as many kids. Why? Kids are expensive, and when your giving over half your salary to the government, having no kids may be your best option financially. So the government responds by keeping taxes high, and making up for smaller family sizes by recruiting immigrants from the Philippines, Nigeria, Sudan, etc.. The handful from Syria get all the attention, but they are a small fraction of the total. \nSo either start having more babies, or start preparing for the multicultural mosaic where the liberal values that made this country great will need to be protected, and I would say, promoted.

we need to make islam illegal

Most the retail places i am not sure.. and I am not going to say that racism doesn't happen in these stores because i don't know for certain.. but i am going to post something to think about.. If their best buy is like the best buy where I live.. I knew people who worked best buy.. and certain floor reps get paid at least in part via commission.. or at least they use to.. typically the ones that approach you are the ones working to make sales.. they will usually only do so in certain areas though.. such as Computer area, home entertainment area, appliance area, phone area, POSSIBLY game area particularly if they notice you looking at the consoles, and occasionally I get approached when i am looking at personal entertainment stuffs such as the decent headphone and ipod/mp3 player area... If you stick to CDs, movies and stuff that you can just grab .. typically they wont bother you much.. unless you linger there too long.. then a floor rep might think you might need help looking at something.. In my experience they are just overly hover because they have to be.. but unless you are looking at something that is a focus of sales or a board employee finds you .. you almost have to hunt down reps to help you with something..

The West needs to wake up and study the Koran and Hadith, life of Mohammed to fully understand that although many Muslims are good, the doctrine of Islam itself what is demanded in Islam, is very dangerous and incompatible to Western ideals and lifestyle. It's aim is to implement Islam and Islamic law throughout all lands, violently if needed. The people that are true Muslims, actually follow the Koran and example of Mohammed are called radicals when in fact, they're the true followers of Islam. Therefore, Islam should be banned itself due to National Security for it preaches the overthrow of current secular Governments and replacement with all under the eventual control of Islam once numbers and their power make it possible. Also, remember Taquiyya wher Muslims can lie to protect and promote Islam, so can you really trust any Muslim?

Niqab is a Culture thing nothing to do as a religion , we need somebuddy to Translate Qurhan in a Reall meaning of it , in Qurhan Said if somebuddy Steals or rob something make his hand short , but those Guys to Control people translated to cut stealer hands buruk its not the the right or true meaning , the true meaning to help him to not rob or steale again

Why would anyone hire a Muslim? Anyone who believes in religious nonsense and need imaginary beings to steer their moral compass is dangerous and gullible, Islam is by far the worst and is a cult of oppression and pedophilia stuck in the iron age making as much sense as living life according to Harry Potter books.

You are what you eat. Do you really think muslims well get control. LMAO. Seriously They can not even get control over there. They made a mess of their own land. The only thing I see is everything gets dirty. Everyone wants to come to the North, United States and Canada. These people need to go make their own work. Canada has a 100,000.00 people out of homes . we have no room for extra. That is not including the standard homeless, and troubled young adults. Someone told me they have people starving. Children dying. So do we, they need care and parents can not afford it. Tax me for i want to help every CANADIAN. When we are home free maybe we can splurge. Sorry to all muslims. you need to go home our Country is not well. .

the demographic /birthrate makes the islamic cult a real long term threat to liberal democracies , even if only a small number of muslims currently are orthodox in viewpoints.\nthe PEW polls globally find that well over half the population of each muslim nation supports sharia law, a third of british and french born muslims support it and a fifth of muslims here support sharia.\nthis trend means that they don't need to fire a shot in their long term plan to overthrow us, all they need to do is keep breeding and voting for whatever shit that liberal leftists allow them.\nask a moderate muslim why is it that the Hadith -which details the prophet's terrorist war crimes-is circulated widely across the world by muslims, knowing that this is the source of inspiration for islamoterrorists today.

ok so muslims say they should be able to wear what they want so their women cover up. but then when you ask them about western women they say they should cover up and SHOULD NOT be able to dress the way they do. liberals who think they are being so free and open minded need to open their eyes to the religion they are trying to defend. muslims routinely abuse the freedoms that are afforded to them while living in a democratic society that hypocrisy becomes second nature to them. the women that was interviewed says we get dressed up put on fancy clothes and make up with other women, even though to do that is haram in islam and is only meant to attract men. ignorance and regression will lead to the downfall of every western country. it is simply a fact and somehow it always comes off as fear mongering when it is said, no religion should ever have a right over any society. if there was a religion where it was ok to behead people who dont believe in that religion would it be ok for people to believe it, oh wait ISLAM.

the man that are islamic make their women use the cover on their body is because they are not respect their women, as they need to be tread it like that, also the cloth do not make you more holly or better person or more closer to God is in your heart and in your soul in the respect of your faith.

I don't understand people in the comments they are so rude I'm a Muslim and I would never make fun of a religion that's rude and very disrespectful. You guys need to stop acting like kids and get over yourself just be kind and make the world a better place with no racism!

this is pure horse shit, while there is people afraid of muslims the west has created a society that prides itself on tolerance and inclusion. The full niqab is basically a wall to society saying I don't want to communicate or participate as eye contact and facial expressions determine how we interact with each other. If you feel the need to dress in a full veil I would suggest moving to a islamic society that would make you feel included.

You should do some research on healthcare here in America. It's not just expensive, the insurance companies do anything and everything they can to NOT give you the care you need. The health care insurance companies in combination with the pharmaceutical companies make up the second or third greediest and most corrupt entity in the US. Watch a movie called 'Sicko' (2007).

PRESIDENT OBAMA's VISIT TO MOSQUE.\nHE WROTE ON HIS TIMELINE.\nToday, I had the privilege of visiting the Islamic Society of Baltimore, a mosque that serves thousands of Muslim\nAmerican families. Like houses of worship across our country, it's a place where neighbors come together to pray, a school\nwhere students learn, and a health clinic where volunteers serve their community. My visit was a chance to celebrate the\ncontributions that Muslim Americans make to our country every day and to reaffirm the founding ideals that keep our nation strong, including the freedom of religion.\nGenerations of Muslim Americans have helped build our country as farmers, merchants and workers on Henry Ford's assembly line. They're the teachers who inspire our kids, and the nurses and doctors whom we trust with our health. They're scientists who win Nobel Prizes and young entrepreneurs creating new technologies. They're the champions we cheer for – from Muhammad Ali to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They're the police and firefighters who keep us safe, and the men and women in uniform who have fought and bled and died for our freedom.\nRight now, though, many Muslim Americans are worried because threats and harassment against their community, their families and their children are on the rise. But we are one American family, and an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths. When any religious group is targeted, we all have a responsibility to speak up. We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. At a time when others are trying to divide us along religious lines, we have to\nreaffirm that most fundamental truth – that we are all God's children, all born equal with inherent dignity.\nI want every Muslim American who may be wondering where they fit in to know that you're right where you belong - right\nhere, because you're part of America, too. You are not Muslim or American. You are Muslim AND American. I want every American to know that Muslim communities are standing up for peace and justice as well. That's the spirit I felt on my visit today. And I'm absolutely confident that if we stay true to the values and ideals that bind us as one people, we're going to\nremain strong and united.

I live in Northern Ontario, and I have never actually been to thr USA, but I know someone who moved to Milwaukee and moved back to Canada because he couldn't handle certain mentalities people had. He said it definitely wasn't everyone, but the whole gun thing freaked him out. He knew a lot of people who carried guns around regularily, and so he always felt he needed to censor himself so he didn't want to offend or make anyone angry, because of thr guns. His brother lives in California and he loves it there, but Milwaukee wasn't for him. It was an interesting conversation

I don't want people to have loyalty to a company.\n\nOr loyalty to a country.\n\nI only want people to have loyalty to improving everything that exist and making things available to all people.\n\nThat's the kind of loyalty that is needed. \n\nNo more loyalty to corporations!\nNo more loyalty to countries!\n\nLoyalty to the earth and to all the people on it!\n\nLoyalty to making the earth a far better place than it is today!\n\nThis is an allegiance I will pledge! \n\n- Jacque Fresco

Anti-Islamic sentiment is not a growing concern. It's just growing. Violence makes people pay attention. People don't need to call themselves Muslim. If you're scared, then stop following the Koran.

Hmm of course its a concern... must muslims are peaceful yeah.. but they wont do a damn thing while their not so peaceful brothers will feel strong enough to start forcing you to be like them. \nWhy are they growing? how about this one reason for a starter, because their spiritual leaders keeps on making great speeches on how they need to make more babies and that eventually they will take over from within, that is in arabic of course... in English you will almost always only hear about peace and love...so yeah... a small example from 1min search\nhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3240295/Imam-tells-Muslim-migrants-breed-children-Europeans-conquer-countries-vows-trample-underfoot-Allah-willing.html

Muslims need to understand that we don't like them it's simple really yes the liberal media and some left wing people think otherwise but the vast vast majority would rather they all just leave it's not racists it's just we want to enjoy life they seem to want to make everything about religion just go away

As a multi generational Canadian, I don't really care whether they cover their face or not. That's their choice. During my life I've seen all these different forms of conservative dress from catholic nuns, to Hutterites to Mennonites and these people are just part of the mix. What this is designed to do is to create a barrier between themselves and the larger society which is fine. I would never interact with one of these woman ever because the thin flimsy barrier makes it clear that she is not interested in talking to anyone for any reason and again this is fine. If she was with a man I would talk only with the man and completely ignore her and if she was with a male child I would talk to the male child, not to her. I don't normally chat with women who are strangers other than now and then in a supermarket line or whatever. This face thingy frees me from the need of chitchat small talk and I'm good with that. In any case we would have absolutely nothing in common.

The answer is simple and all Muslims need to do is control their population and make us believe we are safe. When we see protests and hear hate speech from their groups we of course are not happy and we were born here. You want to come to our country so abide by our laws not yours and we will be fine.

more white guilt propaganda bullshit. Im not a racist so don't brand me one, what I want is true equality which means that I'm not going to pander to minorities for the sole reason that they are minorities. The incessant complaining about stereotypes towards blacks is ridiculous, all races have their own stereotypes. If someone saw a well dressed black person heading into an office building they wouldnt think twice but if someone saw a young black kid dressed like a gangster,smoking dope and acting shady theyre going to think suspiciously of you and there is nothing wrong with that. stop making it about race when it has a lot more to do with how you behave and act. The drive to get more black people in positions over authority for the sake of diversity is itself racist, the best person for the job is the person who should be in office if 8/10 judges are white and they are in fact the best people for the job then their should be no desire to change such things, we need to evaluate the character of a person and not their race. So much bullshit in this video it would take me hours to pick it apart.

wearing hijab,burqa,niqab has nothing to do with being more religious, they jus want to push extreme islam more into society to see how much they can penetrate, its part of ther inferiority/superiority complex. where as in muslim countries non muslims need to hide ther identity in fear of ther life. this is the fault of western politicians allowing muslim immigration. islam does not even beleive in freedom of religion or freedom from religion. u cant hav a secular,democratic country with a non democratic, non secular totalitarian ideology. geert wilders is right, dont make the same mistakes as europe. let muslim countries take in muslim refugees,asylum seekers etc etc

Speaking as a white man I have to admit I don't quite understand the need for anyone to organize as a race in Canada. First generation clubs from whatever country, sure, but as a race? Is it the elephant in the room... American slavery?  I can't help but think that most perceived problems blacks have in Canada are due to American issues we see in movies and media.\nWe in Canada bend over backwards to offer opportunity to succeed. Even touching on racism is widely and loudly crushed. I personally, as do most, give any individual the opportunities they deserve but it's up to them to screw it up or not. To me, if any minority can't make it in this society they aren't trying.\nIt's actually worse in my mind to be white male in public forums because our views and opinions are marginalized and shouted down. Youtube and the internet are the few forums where honest feelings and opinions can be spoken. No one with anything to lose would say this in public for fear of attacks from the thought police. Pretty sad we live in a free country that actually doesn't allow free speech from all. I guess some are more free than others.\nKeep telling me I'm unfair and bad, when I'm not and I might actually grow resentment and the very prejudice you're complaining about.

People who say it's the white males in power trying to oppress the Muslims with their culture need to wake up, If these people want to live in a society that abides by Sharia law they should have stayed in their own country or assimilated to the dominant culture in the country they immigrated to. But you have all of these people coming here because they've ruined their own countries with the same beliefs and values that they are trying to impose in the counties they immigrate to. It makes me sick.
