In the 21st century, many Canadians are also quite against Christians, though this is the basis for the underlying principles of kindness, goodness, and love that has made the Western World so attractive to many peoples around the world, and has made Canada a haven for many. This is quite a shame on Canada. While loving and blessing others, Canada should NEVER forget her own (Natives and Christians); neither should she forget her good foundations that has made her peaceful, wealthy, and stress free over the centuries. I have had to rescue a white co-worker one time, because she was ill treated by immigrants in the workplace, who thought she was not SMART enough and FAST enough for their purpose. This is a beautiful, gentile white lady, whose parents helped to build Canada. Shame on Canada. It is good to bless others, but at what cost? Selling out your good foundations? Forgetting your own peoples who do not have degrees like others. Shame on Canada for allowing these actions. Canada, rebuild your good foundations.

I've been 6 years here in Canada ... It's the first time I know that when I used to be asked if I need any help, they were actually checking if I am stealing ... I never took it that way .. I always took it positively and that people are being nice to customers ... I prefer to stay in my naivety ... it's easier ... in the other hand as a part time Uber/Lyft driver ... from the middle east ... white riders were generally the best and most polite (apart from very few drunk riders) ... they are miles better than all other races .. including people of my own country ...

This is for everyone who says why don't you speak English when there in English speaking country well to you Canadian and other people why dont you learn other people's languages when you go on vacation hmm....? Stop expecting the world to conform to your will. I was in Madrid Spain and this Canadian couple didn't even bother learning Spanish when they spoke to us and ask for help. They expect us to conform to them when they are on vacation in a non english speaking country you can't have it both ways that double standard right there.

And this is why people should stop supporting the government. Canada is an evil racist country. Thank you CBC for helping to open this up. Good discussion. I've stopped voting, why support a racist country. Refuse to participate. Everyone should watch this and CBC should be given an award for this.

Anderson it was obvious on the video that you were honest ly in your reporting..my goodness I hope that people who think like that are in a minority a trump minority. Lol I that thought never entered my mind.. your an incredible reporter and I think you helped the mere positive changes to reporting the news.. I like your style

8:17 BEST BUY Hello people Just before the COVID 19 pandemic struck our Country, in the United States of America. My son and I were shopping at Best Buy. We had more than five or six different people ask if we needed assistance. My Son would say no thanks, and I would ask each one that did ask if I needed help, to help me. That associate would show me where to look, then try real hard to get away from me. This happened at least five to six times. All six times, I said yes. Finally, they stopped asking me and continued to ask my son. The reason my son would say no thanks is because he was just looking. I, on the other hand, had questions about what I wanted to buy. They did a great job answering all of my questions, however, when it came to buying what I wanted to buy most of all of the associates had either left the area or went home, because I could not find anyone when it came down to purchasing the items I wanted, only to find out what I wanted was made in China, They no longer carry the product, in their stores, or online. However, they still had the items on display; however, you just could not buy them. P.S. We are white.

The white guy they used in these test is a lot more socialable looking than I am and I am sure I would get the same treated I am even being white.\nI also worked for best buy and was told to ask people if there was something I could help them with if they look suspicious and standing in one place by a shelf is just one of those things. That is just common practice.

if it is my house I should be able to rent it to whoever I want just like if it is a job I should be able to hire whoever I want. if i only want to hire Russian people at my business than I should be able to put a sign out saying Help wanted Russians only

I have no problem with skin color or race. I do have a problem when I go to the doctor's office and cannot understand half of what the doctor is saying to me. I do have a problem when I call for technical service and cannot understand half of what the technician is saying. This is frustrating. If people with another first language want to work for American companies where communication is a big part of the job, I only wish they would speak more fluently. I had this very situation this morning. Called for service, could not understand through heavy accent. He was getting very frustrated with me. If I went to another country it would be up to me to learn to speak that language. I dealt with this in the hospital...and in this setting it can be critical. I spoke to the Chief of Residency because of a potentially harmful situation and was told the residents all meet their requirements for English. well, whoopdido...that did not help either of us when a patient was going south.

Your witnessing a death of a country helped by your own governments over the last couple of decades unless people start to stand up to it

Love your videos Drew..me came to Canada 3 years back...I lived in U.S for some years before..my experience is better in Canada....people are really warm and generous..not complicated and helpful...I started to love this country for beautiful nature and good people both

Cool video! You should have mentioned the acknowledgement Canada does for its First Nations people vs what the US does to its own Native American people just a factor that could help

?? Im from Ontario Canada and have always worked management in retail. I've always taught any employees in any department that if you see anyone lingering for any longer than 5 minutes, black, white, or any race for that matter to ask if they need assistance! Again I don't care the color, race, most people that come into a store have come in and know what they're looking for! When I see a customer looking for longer than 5 mins, it's just common practise to ask if you need help. I'd suggest you's re-think this practise that we all are taught in stores

Too much liberal idology of left wing people are responsible for this catastrophe. Instead of settling them in your country, help them with money and material and settle them in their own country in which they belong to.

My dad is a really big and tall Mexican man who is real tan. Me and him were at a store and we were looking around for video games. This lady was following us I swear! She kept asking like, do you need anything? Do you need help with anything? And I didn't really think a lot of it until I realized what darker skin people encounter in stores! That's ridiculous!

http://www.bridgesnotborders.ca/ these are the groups of people helping illegals cross our border. These organized criminals must be stopped on both sides of the border.

Where are the Conservatives been the last four years.Why don't they help put an end to this madness.How many hotel rooms in Quebec and Ontario are filled up with illegals.Does anyone know? Does anyone care?Where are they finding room for the next million refugees coming in ? I don't get it.There is no work anywhere for these people.

Let's face the reality. Discrimination is a fact of life whether it's legal or not. But it's not all about race. Anyone can be discriminated against because of the way they look, act, dress, even the way they walk and talk. You can have two people from the same ethnic group and they can have a totally different experience. For me, it's mostly positive. Not only it's positive, I felt I have an upper hand because of my race. If people like you, they will be color blind. If they don't, it doesn't matter what race you are. So please stop this type of racial dividing message. What you should promote is property etiquette in different cultures and help people become part of the melting pot and understand each other better so we can all get along.

Racism is defiantly a problem BUT offers are USUALLY based on credit scores. They didn’t provide more than one test that ‘determines bias’?!?!?!? These tests are garbage. PEOPLE OFFER HELP based physiology. Example... If someone looks like they are looking for something then they don’t know what they want. If you offer help and customers deny but hang elongated experiences of looking for something — one would look for ‘why’ is this person still looking heavily for something but yet denied help.

How about ask we the people if we want to help them before forcing them onto us?This is invading.

We will all experience racism at some point in our lives, in a big scale there isn’t anything we can do about it, we can step in when see someone in need of help, we can continue to be good people and hold our heads up high and just remember not EVERYONE is so narrow minded, it’s important to remember that. We are all humans. ???

I am ask probably 20 or 30 times can someone help me every time I am in Best Buy. Why do we bait these thoughts to divide people! Give me a break. Tell the whole story!

I can tell you that living in Brampton Ontario Canada, I feel safer around black people than I do around white people, even though I have lived in Edmonton Alberta for 9 years! But overall everybody is respectful. We humans cannot help being tribal. Look at all the different bird species...

I wish people would ask if they could help me find anything in the store lmao... I'll stand in the same spot for 30 minutes dumbfounded with no help

Hi Sir it's great to see you. One thing I would like to share with you, I hope you don't mind. Every person upload there videos and educate us. That's good we all people thank you for this. But no body is finding a honest lawyers to help process our PR file behalf of us. So I would like to request you to find out loyal lawyer for us. We will pay fees.

Mam, people look at you differently, cos you are dressed differently. Apart from that, how they behave around you, depends on how your group sets as example. Group would mean your identity that is visible to people. In naqab, the first identity that is visible to people is Islam. While you can't control what other people around the world following Islam do. What you can do and encourage other Muslims around you to do is to set examples of kindness. Reaching out to people and helping people. Not just Muslims. And shun those people openly who speak radical Islam. Then you will notice, how people change the way they look at you.

Hi\nI'm travel agent & visa consultant in Indonesia can you help to me to process this immigration for this project I have many people from Pakistan Bangladesh & India. My WhatsApp is +6285810063280 rgds

They should be talked to like this these people are trying to take over this country they don’t want to live in peace here because there all bringing there third world bs they are not trying to become Canadian at all they want Canada to become what they left there countries to begin with so how are they refugees an need help then if they want Canada to be the same as the war torn countries they come from

Hey Igor thank you for helping people to understand what is going on about immigration process , but one Thing that I wanna say is the job offer is something impossible to get it from outside of Canada those Websites that you shared with us for finding jobs Is useless I'm sorry to say that because when you click on information about jobs it tell if you're not in Canada the owner will not response your request so that the whole process will be useless !!

Send them back! Help people where they are, don’t ever bring them home with you. It never works,\nget Canada...

This is a good exersize to do. I think it could help all of us to understand ourselves and to be better people.

I get followed in stores and I’m white and at Best Buy people always ask you if you need help over and over again

Dear brother Igor, the toughest aspect is grabbing a job offer by which all the consultancies are selling them on behalf of employers for money under huge lump sum amount of dollars... Please focus on this area and help people to grab a job offer with actual sources...Thank you

More BS let's blame the whites again. Another thing if anybody was standing in a shop for 20 minutes not buying anything, you are going to have staff come up and ask to help that's there job, you people are sick in the head to believe this nonsense.

At 8:41 this is BS I work at a Best buy and in our training we are told that you should always try to help someone as in some cases we are paid commission. These are just people like my self trying to earn more money.

I’m I the only one that see the better in people? I always get good feeling when people ask me if I need help finding something every time I go inside a retail store!

as for the niqab test unfortunately it resembles a bandana and people wearing bandana's already have a bad enough reputation in today's world so it doesn't really help the situation im not so sure its a racial thing but just a stereotype of someone covering their face being a bad person like try the same thing but as a caucasian with a bandana over your face you'll end up getting similar results

What is muslim area ? In Britain . Take help of India to takle this Islamic bull shit. We are the most experienced people to deal with this Islamic curse on human Civic society. We even survived britishers . We are tough ????????

If it’s not “one thing”, it’s a “different thing”; most people in my socioeconomic position gets uncomfortable treatment in many situations. Personally, I’ve been a target for guys (of all ages & job status, married or not, a bum or not), to “hit on me”, ALL my life & I wasn’t taught ways to deal with this. It sounds “petty” to some people or maybe “flattering”, but actually, when it comes from anyone & everyone, it’s NOT nice! And there’s no one I can “sue”. There’s not even a place where I can get “help” & guidance. \nIm certainly glad I made it a priority, with my daughters, to explain, advise & guide them about how to deal with their level of attractiveness. ???????????

White people have it bad to they can't find anyone to help them at the store there to busy asking blacks if theyneed help.

WELL AT LEAST SHE CNTRIBUTED BY PAYING TAXEX.HAS ANY LOWYER OFFERED TO HELP HER PRO BONO LIKE IT WAS IN THE CASE OF THE SO CALLED ROYAL FAMILY? Of COURSE NOT SHE IS NOT RICH OR ROYAL.THE SYSTEM SUCKS BIG TIME. SHE EVEN GOT HER OWN CLEANING BUSINESS IN HERE THE ROYALS HAVE NOTHING IN THIS COUNTRY YET OUR GOVERNMENT IS GOING OUT OF ITS WAY TO HELP THEM BECOME CANADIAN CITYZENS BUT HARD WORKING PEOPLE THAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS COUNTRY DOES NOT DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE.I HOPE SHE STAYS.

Sad knowing that man and woman being yourself your soul is a real part of you ? changes everything and faith people of color are so gifted standing back don't help you sad

My mother's background is ambiguous based on looks. She's actually English and Irish but she has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and naturally tanned skin. It's very unusual for someone of British ancestry, but family photo's of Mum's family show the same colouring back to her great-great-grandfather. In Britain, as a blonde, blue-eyed daughter, I've watched my whole life as people treated her differently to other relatives. She's quiet, polite and her father was a police chief inspector, she strictly obeys the law. I've overheard people refer to her as a 'paki' and all sorts of derogatory things. When we went to the US, it wasn't better. They were rude to her until she spoke and then reacted with shock. Some admitted they thought she was Mexican. \nSo, is it any easier for her in Canada? When she visits me here, she is mistaken for an aboriginal. It isn't any easier for her here. And pettiness of it all. When they hear her accent, suddenly it's like she's their best friend. \nThe sad/funny thing is, often I can't find customer service more than half the time I'm out. When I'm with my mother, there is ALWAYS someone around to ask for help.

This is bad racial profiling for sure, Shoppers Drugmart is bad.\nAlthough I'm white, when I have a backpack on I'm often asked if I need help.\nThey're usually more suspicious with people who wear backpacks, but certainly racism is a factor here too.

When i was in Vancouver i met a lot of rude Canadians....some were waiters and hotel staffers and an airport worker. Seriously im nice but next time im going to tell these people off. Actually I gave NO tips to the rude waiters and Tweeted about the bad customer service!! Twitter is helpful in many ways!!

Marks a nice looking clean cut successful looking young man wearing a Columbia jacket. Are we positive these sales people weren’t sincerely trying to help him? To me he looks like a sale. I, a 54 year old white woman get asked if I need help about that many times too in Best Buy.

the same thing going on in PEI and it's the Government who are the fraudsters in that one since 2017. Millions of dollars not accounted for. Is there any gov. in this country that isn't a crook. Even the PM Trudy, is a criminal and we still got him for another year or two depending as it's a minority. Evil Liverals NDP, Green and now Scheer has shown the same evil ways too. Is there any hope of getting this country run by loyalists to the people? Glad they caught this scammer but I am sure there are a lot more in PEI helping Chinese get permanent residency.

This video didn't do a good job of explaining to me why they want legal status in a country they have no interest in living in. Maybe I just don't have enough money to understand the motivations of the really rich people... does that help them in their business or something?

What a pile of propaganda. No other culture on earth goes in to work dressed as a priest. Or a witch. Or the Ku klux clan etc. This is not in the Quaran, it is a cultural practice made to enslave woman and keep servant. They teach in our universities it is fine to mate with a three year old and a camel. So do you think this silly mask would help slow down interest? . Since no one else can at work wear such things then they cannot either. Like harper said do on your own time and place. They are no more important than anyone else. Could care less what they choose to wear, that is the point they should not have the right to enforce their rules in government places. Nor pray in schools or work or any place. Simply the same rules for all. Your employer does not allow you to come in dressed as the black panthers. Or like this or that. They may have particular dress codes. Enough of cater to them they removed this right in Denmark and now all get along much better due to they are not wearing it to work or on streets to annoy people

For payback when people ask me do I need help, I make sure I'm annoying and make them wait 20mins while I make up my mind
