Canadian immigration sucks. There is no control. I came as an immigrant and I witnessed many heart wrenching situations. Ghost immigrants and non resident Canadian citizens living in India, Dubai, Russia, Lebanon, USA, Israel, Turkey, HongKong etc. They barely lived in Canada, yet they have same rights like us, take child support subsidies, welfare, CPP, Old Age while we bust our a....s in the cold to pay taxes and build the Canadian system. Wake up.

It's sad that we needed this kind of testing to make people admit that there is racism in Canada. If you ask every person of colour in Canada, they will tell you the truth. Just believe them. Why doubt? There's a problem right there.

The funny thing is that the most contagious COVID-19 strain is from Europe. So it's the Europeans who are responsible for spreading the most in Eastern Canada and US. It was also the Germans and the Italians who continues to do business and have close ties with the Chinese communists party despite all the human rights issues. They are responsible for bringing COVID-19 to Europe as early as late 2019.

A society where people are not allowed to carry any tools to defend themselves. The police didnt even get there a day later. what a joke. The police will protect you they say. This lady could have gotten hurt or even killed. Canada is a joke. Asians here in the US are all carrying defensive tools such as pepper spray and firearms. Our right to defend ourselves has not been infringed by a tyrannical government like the one you have in Canada.

Some countries have poor economies. The reasons are what they are. It’s a fact of life. No one has the right to a better life abroad. This is just reality. It’s not fair and it’s not easy to accept. The refugee claim is simply not true for countries not at war. Central America is not at war. Economic migration is legitimate only for those who qualify by expertise and education. Canada is wide open to Chinese, Indian, and Philippine immigration. All others are tightly restricted. That’s just how it is.

Western nations seriously should start mandating laws that asylum seekers must apply for asylum in their country of origin, this man is clearly a welfare shopper who has no right what so ever to be in Canada, just another fine example of a broken system that’s being taken advantage off.

Shoppers Drug Mart employees are the absolute worst in my experience for racial profiling. They opened a new store so had hardly any customers, I was shopping for painkillers where there are numerous drug types, brands, strengths (mg), styles (capsules, gel cap, tablets), amounts and prices - all in small writing which takes quite a bit of time to disseminate and decide upon especially when your eyesight is poor as mine is. After a while I looked up and noticed a security guard standing in the aisle watching me. I was shocked and confronted him, asking if he was watching me, to which he quickly denied and left. Was so disturbed I quickly left the store without buying anything and refused to return to that location. Another time I was shopping for an eyebrow pencil where the colour name was printed again in small letters so was spending time to find the one I wanted amongst all the different browns. After I had chosen and started to walk past their counter, their staff member stood with her arms folded shaking her head. This was very alarming as I had shopped in that store since it had opened! So after effectively being accused of shoplifting a $3 eyebrow pencil for no reason other than being black, at the cash line, a white guy sprints out the door carrying a $50 box of diapers! Whatever they are selling at Shoppers or anywhere else is not worth my freedom. They have no right to profile me when it is never going to be me stealing. There are many, many black people who just do not do those kinds of things. We are not all criminals. I have worked in lots of stores and the majority of people stealing are the majority of people in Canada - the white people. Stop living on stereotypes, Shoppers Drug Mart and don't pooh-pooh people's experiences when they call and complain!

I’ve lived on both sides of the border (New York and Ottawa/Gatineau). I am white. And I’ve been pulled over on both sides wile I was driving and wile a black person was driving. I’ve seen scary difference between the interactions with the police. Though the US cops are a little more harsh to the black people the Canadians ones weren’t much better. If you deny that is happening in Canada your wrong. If you deny it’s happening in the US your wrong. It happens no matter what side of that imaginary line on. Be the change you wanna see. If your white use your privilege to promote change. And for everyone, go to protest (safety there is still a pandemic going on), sign petitions, vote and get involved with government. Both sides of the border have the chance to make things right, act now!

I've traveled Turtle Island from top-bottom & left-right Canada is just as bad if not worst than America when we open our eyes. \nDisgusting display of hubris when Canadians state we're better than America.

Well i bet hes happy to be in Canada right now instead of in america with these lawless police unnecessary violence and blatant discrimination towards everyone . Not to mention a full on racist running the country . The most cases of corona virus

I think he’s right, Canada’s racism is more subtle — that’s most of the time.

Indian people not country USA Canada uk france Australia Newzealand go back punjab india punjabi tatte chugan gye aa goreya de gulam aa nauker aa goreya de gori lady right

To be honest, it's everywhere not only in Canada,. Come to Scandinavia, Finland, Norway, Sweden... By the way I had a bad experience! But those country's are a big mouth about human rights....sad truth#

I thought once about immigration to Canada although my economic situation didn’t incentivize me to immigrate. I found myself in a qualified position to immigrate. But when I consulted my wife, she opposed my plan and she’s absolutely right. We’re a middle class family. We have wonderful jobs. Live in our own home and run a small enterprise. Why should we immigrate and start building a new life in a country where the cost of living is insane?!

Every where is the same if you are black, not only in Canada, across the glob. What I would like to recommend those abusing by someone don't give up flight for you right.

I am a male white man . I am 57 years old . I was born in Canada . At a store that I was shopping at , 2 employees showed up within 2 minutes and was watching me from a distance of 15 feet from me while I was looking at wallet's . I felt a tingling feeling at the back of my neck . I had a difficult time to figure out what wallet that I was going to buy . I was there between 15 - 20 minutes . Both of them stayed near me , watching me until a found the right wallet to buy . I bought the wallet . To me that was wrong for both of them to do that because neither of them approached me and asked if I needed any help .

Till minority they will fight for freedom of expressions, speech, rights etc etc .. and slowly they reach around one third of the population they will impose islamic laws in canada ... and we get one more islamic country in the world ?

Right now iam living in India i wish I would move on to Canada because they have lot of facility and govt functions well. I wish if it happens in future ?.

Canada is USA done right

Because of less pollution \nPeople can see Canada right here from Punjab, India.

Remember when Canada evacuated a Saudi girl because Justin Trudeau had an election and wanted to look like he cared about human rights but didn’t evacuate a single Canadian stranded abroad ?

Good that u mentoned health care system Drew,but i think that you should've talk more about that.USA has one of the worst HC systems in the world,which means you dont have free health care and you need to pay for everything.. In Canada is totally different.We are witnessing this issue right now with Covid-19 where people need to pay around 35k $ for medicine and other stuff..

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. ?

Wait...so can anyone explain am I getting this right? I am from a European country and to apply for a 12 month work permit/visa in Canada I had to get and translate all kinds of travel documents and documents that prove my identity and that I haven't been prosecuted in my country and drive 16 hours just to get biometrics done. And now all of that is going to waste because the borders are closed for me.\nAnd these people can just show up at this border crossing NOW without documents and just like that enter Canada illegally and that's ok? Am I getting this right? Can someone please clarify this to me?

Gold plated healthcare in Canada what a absolute fantasy . Our healthcare is truly abysmal if you are not part of the privileged class. In case you haven’t noticed people are dying on waiting lists and those with money go private in B. C. Or go south to the US or Mexico. I am currently in SanJose del Cabo doing physio after my back surgery . Public system wanted me to wait two years for same surgery and I had lost the use of my right leg. Yes close Roxam Road but please stop perpetuating the fantasy we have quality healthcare .

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!

I am an American. Please help this man if you can. We love our Canadian brothers. I can't help you. You have to help yourselves. Become a strong country again. Leave the left go to the right. I will always pray for Canada. Be strong and vigelent. May God bless Canada!

I don't recall that Canada ever had an honest politician in my life time.... Left or Right I think we should get Trump to run our country!?! Just a thought!

The white politicians are to blame , they made the decision-makers to allow them a home in Canada. Big mistake. They definitely want integrate and they will tell you right to your face . Not the right immigrant for Canada or the western world.

if Muslim are so much that persecuted in Canada, how comes their numbers don’t cease to increase year after year, and millions of other muslims around the world do the impossible to immigrate to Canada? ... It never happened in human history that a claimed persecuted people in a country, their numbers increase instead of decrease in that same country... that prouves that they are lying as usual to play the victims and that to have more rights and special privileges to advance the islamization of Canada.

What jobs? There\n isn't any work in Canada right now, the Liberal Gov't is chasing away companies, that want to do business here. I know, I've lived here my whole life. Only illegals get in, this is what our Gov't promotes, because they're trying to buy votes, and divide Canadians. You don't want to come to Canada, if you don't like a dictatorship, because that's what our Defacto\n Gov't is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Good luck.

Ladies have equal rights to a man in Canada.. Absolutely equal.

Muslim Woman in the interview said the wearing of the hijab was her personal choice. shes a liar the wearing of the hijab is an obligation . Muslims are taught that non Muslims are dirty to there soul .Canada has committed suicide and in fifty years Canada will be an Islamic state unless Canada bans the burka and the hijab and Islamic courts Winston Churchill said in 1899 where ever you find Muslims in the minority they talk about equal rights when Muslims are in the majority there is no equal rights.Hungry and Poland wont take these Muslim immigrants/ refugees the only christian country in the middle east Lebanon took in Muslim Refugees now look at that place that is your future.research look up christian prince on you-tube Acts 17 apologetic soco films speakers corner.Beware Evangelist Muslims ie dawah team Liars the lot of them do your own research if you dont believe me

I am really shook right now cause in a long time I've dreamt to go to Canada but seeing this I kinda changed my mind about going to Canada

That man in this video in the mosque,.how did he get to canada, you recogonized him right? Verry rare to find a muz lem blame his own people. If canadians are so bad, why do they not leave?, go back home. Its cause iz lam advocates conquest of peoples, nations, wealth, wonen of infidels. Even their arab sheikh cousins dont want the refugees.deport all ofenders.

Canada needs a backbone and the right ppl in power!

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.

Sad that a lot of good people bust their asses off to the get to Canada under the right terms and most get denied. While those crooks performed the largest immigration scheme in history of Canada and got no repercussions.

Anti women = Hinduism which burnt women (suttee) if she's widowed or threw them in milk or if she's born a 50 years ago.\nOn the other hand islam is only Religion which gives women right to vote, elect , become politics, rode camels and horses 1400 years ago (when no body rode), have equal status in house etc and last message of islam was 'best of you is the one who is best to women'.\nAnd I'm sure most muslim women don't wear headscarves in canada

Lovely Canada is truly regressing to ancient times! \n\nHow many masked women will it take for the “progressives” in Canada to finally see that they are dragging their beautiful modern culture back to a meaner time in history! \n\nNon-assimilating people from the most intolerant Muslim countries, where genuine toxic masculinity reigns and rules women like they are property...how is that a future for Canada! \n\nCanadian women aren’t pouring into Pakistan in huge numbers demanding they be allowed to wear bikinis at every swimming pool ! \n\nMuslims dare to play the victim and they feel entitled to tell Canadian Civilization how it should be! \nWho are they to lecture Canada on Human Rights!!!!!

I suggest going back too his country of origin and vote for politician's that will reform his government. It's crazy people from poorer countries keep electing socialist governments. While they inevitably must leave to Western countries. Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina. They should all be 1st world countries. Go back and vote right. Not left. I wonder what would happen if all Canadians moved to Mexico and all Mexicans moved to Canada. Which country would be better off. It is not the land that defines a country, it is the people. Look in the mirror. Maybe a few less siesta's and more 10 hour work days?

Anti Muslim grows because of a) they come from non democratic nations into Canada that is supposed to be a democratic nations but democracy is taught from grassroots in order to succeed - Those who have grassroots responsibility for sucessful integration appear to be failing their jobs employment in the system - Muslims does not integrate assimilate apparently - All Mosques - in Edmonton refused receipt of the training manual workbooks - how Canada is Governed Eugene Fosey / Senator New Foundland - some Muslims report that they needed this material the day their plane landed in Canada - Canadians (reasonable to believed that Muslims were trained in OHS - Charter Rights upon entering Canada immediately). 5 Miracles of Dunkerk Crisis intervention Forest Fires .

Canada is for those who have are values and beliefs. If you don't have them, you are not welcome. The country we once loved is now at risk and is becoming a country that struggles with Canadian values. Christianity, equal rights, freedom of speech and our laws. They continue to change to accept the non-sense of those who have European or middle eastern views.\n\nThanks, Justin as you are the biggest problem. 2 faced and you can bend the rules, but no one else can.\n\nTime for true Canadians to stand up and keep our Canadian Values and not change them to suit foreigners.

My mom always said it's better to leave them guessing your stupid than to prove them right. This poor soul just proved his stupidity. Why not understand Islam before forming an opinion. Better yet, learn what a Sikh is too. Its Canada, we are a country of diversity. It's a good point to not not say you are not Muslim, but just say you don't agree with hate.

Sir ji ,I want job to Canada, what's my diocesan is Right/ rong

6:35 SHE SAYS THIS IS NOT AN EXPRESSION OF equality. And she is RIGHT.\nnot a GOOD MUSLIM submit or DIE.\nisis IS A TERRORIST STATE.\njihadis ARE ANTI CANADIANS . \nthe niqab and hijab : REPRESENT ISLAMIFICATION\nOF CANADA. this is NOT islams home.\nLISTEN TO LAST SENTENCE.

Trudeau is to be blamed for islamisation in Canada. He has ruined Canada right to the core. They have already established their Islamic empire in the western world!

Bilkul right ye sale khalistani salle jyada bante Kuch time bad Canada me kuttenge

? 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
