I had a recent experience traveling with friends to Friday Harbor in Washington State near Victoria Island. It was a touristy spot in the PNW. There are 4 of us that day - 3 asians and 1 white . My white friend needed to use the restroom so the three of us went to a tourist information center. When we walked in the two white ladies just ignored us didn’t say hi or anything and we were not paying attention at first until my white friend walked in . one lady immediately got up and greeted him. And when she found out that the white guy is friend with the other 3 asians She started to talk to all of us but the entire time she only had eye contact with my white friend. It was kinda weird for me. It was not a bad experience but you noticed the skin color do make a difference in how people treated you in the US.

FOX ENTERTAINMENT NEWS is taking Russian laundered money... Watch the pile of Federal Indictments about to drop on FOX. \nFOX WENT TO THE TROUBLE TO HIT ONE OF THE NATO COUNTRIES ( CANADA ) WITH ALOT OF ANTI CANADA POSTS..... Fu Russia backed media, You forget CANADA is one of the Allies 5 eyes... We are reading ur signals to Fox.

These racial profiling can go both ways. Back and forth and back and forth. And I have been treated the same way leaving a store and alarm went off so what’s your point. And yes the guy who did it to me was the same race as myself. These tests prove nothing. All this stuff has happened to myself as well and I’m white so what should I say it’s because I’m white???

Ya know what if a black man, China man or anybody else didn’t want me in there store no matter the reason I would take my business elsewhere. It’s his store he should have the right to say who can and cannot come into their house. But would make sure it went viral so he lost a lot of business, even if he was my color I wouldn’t put up with it. But nobody should be able to say who can go in your place without your permission regardless of the reason.

Hey, you dont like it, you know where the border is........ personally I'm sick and tired of being exhausted working to pay taxes which once upon a time went to my welfare and medical care, now our hospitals are weighed down by people like him and his mooching family mooches all of them. I want them out. They can apply legally. Trudeau may have you all thinking your welcome. No your not. People who have applied legally, been vetted and have something to offer are being kept waiting while the moochers are walking over the border. GET OUT. Soon we'll have an election and I guarantee the one who wins will be the one who stops this abuse of our system and our tax dollars........... and thats not Trudeau

I don't get it. I went to Canada legally, I payed for education, bill, insurance with my money, yet i am not welcomed . Some random people walk across the border illegally, they get free money, education and soon will become permanent resident. Why they making it so hard to become a citizen legally while it is so easy with a fraud marriage.

As a Canadian screw Trudeau . I'm ashamed to call him my prime minister. At least his dad gave us the bill of rights and freedoms which is a historic document... His son aka Justin is literally ruining Canada .\n\nSo far he's put us in a tonne of debt , has no economic knowledge/political experience, is a hypocrite, went back on his promise for electoral reform (as the old system made him win lol) , is an Islamic extremist apologist , literally gave millions of tax $ to a terrorist because he was detained in Guantanamo aka Omar Khadar -_- etc ... The list goes on.\n\nWasting my tax dollars on people who not only are breaking the law but it's a joke - They just literally walk on over. Many have no skills or anything to actually bring to Canada either. They're not asylum seekers. They're economic migrants who broke the law by coming to the states illiegaly. Now because you actually have a president with balls to kick them out to where they came from they're coming to Canada where they know our PM can't even admit there's such a thing as an extremist Muslim. \nHe keeps using the excuse that Canada was built on immigrants. Yes. True. Legal ones. Or legitimate refugees fleeing war or persecution. Not bloody Donald Trump and a pretty developed / stable country aka the US. Smh. \n\nThe only good thing he's done is legalize weed and even then he's managed to screw it up by making it a government monopoly vs a free market the many US states have where entrepreneurs can thrive.

My daughter went to school in Canada, now 20 , black history month taught her nothing , thank God for YouTube. I am here since 1978, first time I hear this.

Just to let everyone know I actually wish fox was fake news like CNN this is nothing new this has been going on for a few years now I live in toronto Canada and it's pretty much next to impossible to get a room in a motel just last week I had family fly in from bc for my cousins wedding and they could not get a room so they had no choice but to stay with family everywhere they went to try to get a hotel was jammed packed to the gills with migrants and my new next door neighbor told me that he came here and claimed asylum and they instantly put him on government social assistance aka welfare and he said his next move is to get a doctor to fill out paperwork saying he can't work and get disability check all he said he has to do is give the doctor 100$

I m also Indian,I never went to college because my father can't affort that time ,now I m also earning more then 3k (doller ) in a month in india,all you need to do hardwork and focus on the right things, in India you can earn more then anywhere else ,but people don't try often, but people like easy thing so they go to abroad

Canadians getting upset? We're furious with Trudeau. Legal immigrants are especially. They see the unfairness of this as they went through long waits, expense, and legal channels to immigrate, only to see illegals jumping the queue ahead of their family members who are held in limbo in legal immigration applications.. Justin Trudeau is going to get absolutely annhilated in the upcoming election the likes of which no other Prime Minister has ever ever suffered before.

15 years in the U.S. and he didn't learn English? Two years ago I went on my church's annual week-long missions trip to Guatemala and absolutely hated the fact that I couldn't understand what people were saying around me. I immediately started studying Spanish so I could go back without fretting myself into fits over not being able to communicate. If I can learn Spanish for an annual trip, he and others like him can learn English when they come to stay in the U.S.

He went from a drama teacher to a Hilarious prime minister.

This is what they did in Europe. The hotels and food providers made a ton of money on it and went heavy into promoting immigration for that reason.

He went to an unscrupulous lawyer.

LOl the fact CBC denies anything proves it is true. Doesn't CBC know everyone thinks they are liars? The anti Cdn propaganda machine funded by money stolen from Cdns? This isn't just me saying it, I haer it all the time. " Everyone knows CBC is full of it." As the left crumbles having created Trump they went into shock. Comes around goes around. Cdn Bonds are now junk and your houses will soon be worthless. Laugh today, you will be weeping soon. Goodbye!

She got fired from her job once this went viral....looks like she aint paying taxes now!!

So an illegal immigrant moves from the US to Canada to try and claim asylum from what exactly? He cant prove he would be persecuted if he went back because he has been in the US illegally for 10 years, of course they would turn down his asylum application, he doesn't have a case for asylum. Why is this news?

What happened to them settling in Mexico?? Come to US illegally and then to Canada illegally......smh! Mexico would have given asylum. Should have went there. Trying to do things ass backwards doesn’t make me have sympathy for you. Should have done it right the first time around. $15,000 wasted?‍♀️

Some of the people lie. They went with intention to stay with relatives. Sad there countries have no shame to let there people move to other countries like dogs

An illegal immigrant that would not do what it takes to become a citizen of the u.s. he didn't have a problem living and working and making money in the u.s. but when it came down to it he turned his back on America and went to Canada he thaught it would be so easy so stay there live with your decisions and learn English,

Hart & Cooley in Holland Mi. use to hire illegals FROM Canada, then closed and went to Mexico for cheaper help and to get away from the Union looking at the books

To bad jose you should have bought guns and went back to your country of origin and fight for freedom . You are all the same looking for a free ride.

So, let me get this straight. He was illegal in the US, so he went illegal to Canada. Justin's welcome mat was out being hosed down. This has to stop. If he was Muslim, he's have the key to the city.

This has been going on since the 1960's when U.S.Citizens avoiding the draft for the Vietnam War went north to Canada. U.S.Citizens have been turned away from Canada for having two misdemeanors from 20 , 25, 30 years ago. Now this guy whom is illegally in the US from Mexico is caught by the Canucks/Frogs so he want's to get the ACLU on them? Why do we waste our time,money on crooked people like this????

That’s because you went to Alberta when you arrived. Pretty much like going to Texas

Lol... the guy said he felt unwanted in the US. Maybe because he went in illegally... what was he expecting?

I worked construction in my summers and I know skilled carpenters, even the ones that never went to trades school, can easily make $45/hr in Calgary if they subcontract or even $40 on payroll and its not even boom times. A lot of guys I worked with were easily clearing $100 000 a year but the problem is they choose to buy brand new pickup trucks on instalments or have overall poor saving habits. Hours are really long too. What I noticed about wages in Vancouver and Toronto are that they are really bad for construction workers, I know a guy in Vancouver whose a layout journeyman making only $21 a hour, a labourer in Calgary starts out at usually $19-20.

Lol, the funniest part about most shoplifters is that they are usually white and the only reason they don't get caught is because no one is watching them or cares if they steal. Even when a worker sees them stealing, they let them get away with it. Smdh. I've seen it many times. One specific time some white guy walked so casually into the beverage aisle at Walmart, put 4 packages of 4 pk Redbull in his backpack, and walked away like nothing happened. Another time, this white guy went to the bulk candy section, loaded up his bag, security SAW HIM and stared at him leaving the store AND DID NOTHING! This white guy I used to work with ALWAYS STOLE HIS LUNCHES and jokingly admitted that he stole cause NO ONE WATCHES HIM OR CARES IF HE DOES! I SEE IT ALL THE TIME! So you little white people watching everyone else, I hope you all lose billions since you love to watch other people and not your own, LMAO!

he should went to his country

They went to jail for this.

Trudeau lied to them unfortunately. How about the guys who started Vice? Were they refugees? Not too damn likely. They went to the USA from Montreal and didn’t complain. They became quite successful, too. Refugees are not immigrants. It’s a different deal. A refugee is a temporary thing, not the same as immigration, why can’t this guy speak French or English by the way? 15 years in USA, lol.

I’m always scared to get accused of shoplifting, not because I’m black but just because I take ages to look at 1 article. I can stay more then 1 hour in the store. I usually do every aisle even the ones that don’t concern me like the baby section. I just like to see what is new, what is available. \nI live in a country where shoplifting is not really an issue, so I’m used to doing what I want in the shops. I went on holiday in the US and completely forgot that I was not home. I went to target and didn’t take a basket as I was suppose to only buy 1 thing. When I picked up more then 5 articles I put a few in my pocket. It’s only when I got to the cashier that I was like “ I’m crazy this is not my country “. Good thing nothing happened. \nAlso I’m a day dreamer so I always look suspicious in shops.

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.

I am white...I have been followed...I own my own home and was not treated fairly when I bought it...I was once volunteering at a Christmas wrap stand when a black man went off on me for being white. This is such a non productive and crybaby approach to the presence of hate in the world...you're never going to get rid of it...This is just hate towards whites...

I went and viewed 3 vacant apartment in a building. Available immediately. I was ready to take one. I noticed, as we went to each apartment that they were all inhabited by Polish people. The Superintendent and the Property Manager, also Polish. I am guessing the owner was too.\nI am a single, middle aged, clean and healthy, responsible white woman. NOT polish though. After submitting my application and deposit I waited. 5 days later called and left a message, 2 days after, called again. No answer. Then, called from a Private number and they answered right away. I asked them the status of my application. We are sorry ... all three apartments taken. \nI believe I was discriminated against because I am not Polish. Oh well ... I've moved on. Found a great apartment up the street for less rent, free parking and a very welcoming atmosphere.\nLife goes on.

My nephew went to the store the other day and was surrounded by four employees demanding to see his receipt which he had ,  and he and the employees are all White/I went to Kmart to buy a VCR when they were popular and it had no price on it so I had the employee who was Black scan it for me and after she was done scanning it she told the stores security officer who also happened to be Black to watch me that I might try to steal it so she followed me to the checkout line and watched me pay for it and then she still wanted to see the receipt, also  one time our fuses went out so my mother went to this store that was owned by an Arab to buy fuses and was told if they weren't the right ones to bring them back and so she did and then was called a thief for it ,So would you say we were   racially profiled?

I'VE BEEN RACIALLY PROFILED BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY ARE BEING RACIALLY PROFILED!!! I GOT FOLLOWED AROUND AT THE INDIAN VEGETABLE MARKET ON DANFORTH!!! I FELT WEIRD ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS AND I NEVER WENT BACK TO THAT VEGETABLE MARKET TOO!!! NEXT TIME I'LL CALL THE POLICE!!!

Wtf? He went to spend $15,000 instead of investing it in his country? Not every area of El Salvador is dangerous. I swear this is nothing but propaganda.

Well that what happens when British went to Afghanistan and moved Taliban from there to Britain, so now Taliban is stationed in London not anymore in Afghanistan.

If this guy went to Miami, nobody would even notice

Its sad that this family has to suffer but immigration laws were put into place for a reason. This guy was taken by lawyers for $15000 which is his life savings. The only reason he and his family went to Canada is due to Canada's leader welcoming all immigrants with open arms. Canada's leader only said that to make Trump look like a ass. Well now how looks like an ass?

The Babies of Native Indians are Souls in Heaven and come and visit their bones to see if its time to resurrect as I was there with a baby bone pile north of the Kortright Conservation Area with Ontario Heritage Foundation as David Donnelly was really upset that there were OS's aries found that the Italian builder was going to build on and so he called our office and yelled at the top of his lungs to issue a Stop Work Order Immediately. They got through to the Top Brass and We did issue it from our Office as Government Staff and then we visited and I found as the Holy Grail of Christ Second Coming the Baby Bones in Piles and I picked one up in my hand and the Soul of the Baby came to visit it and smiled as very innocent still waiting to resurrect and it went went back to heaven and I put the bone back in the baby bone pile. The cover up by the Italians of Maasacres by War Criminals who are Italian is by builders to build over the bone piles hence the Poltergeist that is there to haunt a those who are Italian living in subdivisions over the Dead Indians that were killed by the Italians. And that happened on Halloween by God to send out the Poltergeist to haunt and kill the Italians throughout Vaughan on Halloween on Judgement Day 2017.

All racists went through some sore of discrimination , black still speaking about the past they need to move on .

part two so now i have my first black friends and they call me bum blaster and blood clout with that thick accent and laugh and never explain . well time goes by and nigei invites me to his house to hang . so im getting a little drunk and tell a story about going to my first black bar --------------- you said what , all conversation stops . i say i went to a black bar and my buddys girlfriend starts at me about it not being a black bar but a ---- i cant understand her the accent again. so i start my story again , iwas the only white person in the bar and kind of stood out , felt like everone was staring at me . i asked if this is how blacks feel. well everone start freaking and my buddy who i work shoulder to shoulder with every day and eat three meals a day with and ride the bus home with. his girlfriend starts yelling im racist and to get out of her house. is my buddy walks me to the elevator i say to him you know im not racist and he answers i know but what can i do. i get it its always ok to be racist as long as your not white . we worked together as a team salt and pepper as he use to call us for an other year and he came to my house .

its funny the cbc disables the comments section on all their videos that white conservatives are likely to respond negatively to. but when its the reverse , boom. ill tell you a little story about racism . 35 yrs. ago i worked demolition and one day i notice these new guys just standing around. a couple of other guys come over to me and point out that those three guys just standing around would be fired at the end of the day, when i asked why they told me it was because they werent doing any work becuase no one would show then what to do becuase they were black they used different words. so i went over to these three guys and told them if they didnt work they would be fired at the end of the day. they said no one would show them which i thought was pretty lame since the job was to pick up the demolition garbage and pill it like every one else, so i showd them and save their jobs.

Profiling exists with whites too, but it has to do with appearance, class and perceived intelligence; it isn't all about colour or race.\n\nI am a larger guy, with a shaved head and a beard. Sometimes I wear a suit and sometimes I am in jeans, a t-shirt and/or a leather jacket. When in a suit I am treated completely differently from when I am in my motorcycle or bumming around clothes. It is a fact that people profile everyone based on appearance, language (verbal ability), and how they are acting. Unfortunately, a person with visible differences, such as skin colour, can't change into something that attracts less attention, but, a black man in a suit is still less likely to be profiled than one in everyday clothes.\n\nAlso, I am well spoken, which makes a difference in the way I am treated. If you speak in a way that makes you sound less educated or of a lower class, then you are treated differently.\n\nTry sending in a white guy who is less clean-cut and less well-spoken and see the difference in the way he is treated. Have him act a bit nervous, look around a lot, or appear to be less than middle or upper class and see the difference in how he is treated. I guarantee he won't get good offers in those apartment buildings, if he gets any offers at all.\n\nA friend once told me a story about a friend of his who was very well off. This man went into an exclusive car dealership to look at a car on display. He didn't like to appear as well of as he was, so often wore simple jeans and t-shirt. When he asked the price of the car, the salesman took one look at his clothing an told him he couldn't afford the car. White profiling at its finest.

They should of went to winnepeg

If he just went through the proper channels in the US he wouldn’t be having these issues in Canada. Now he’s an undocumented and illegal worker in Canada and is taking advantage of the system. Canada does have stricter immigration laws than the States. I’m all fine with Canada accepting immigrants as long as they do it the legal way and go through the due process that the government has put in place. But this guy has pretty much screwed himself over and is taking advantage of the Canadian citizens I feel
