Ban Islamic Institutions in Canada. If they want to live in Canada, they should attend the public school that are secular.

It's hard for a native Indian to get a job. I am clean-cut, well dressed and non drinking. I put resumes for a year at every job that came across my path that was a possibility. No one called me back. Most of time they didn't bother to attempt a serious interview. Finally got a job with native organization which I didn't go to school for. I am certified in Office Admin. but cook and clean house.

If you go to the Middle East they tell you to cover it up! Come to America and they tell you to take it off! You can't make em all happy! Ugh! Step off my hat, step off my flag, step off my scarf, if you don't like it turn your head! Ugh Btw Read our Public schools rule books closely! Ugh Stop the hate!!!

Get out! Canada doesn't even take care of its own aboriginal people. No fresh water, homes for shelter, or schools. This border crossing that people are getting away with is disgusting. Canada shouldn't have free borders like that. What are they doing to resolve this? Canada needs to take care of its aboriginal people. Period.

as a black man i stop trying to fit in, blacks need to start living in black communities, dealing only with blacks, we need to separate from white people, and stop looking for acceptance from white people, i dont spend my money with anyone that dont look like me , i accept me, we need black only schools run my black teachers

The most racism I experienced in school was from teachers. Its the most profound kind of racism, because they are authority figures. The thing is when your fellow students display racism it doesn't have the same gravity as it does when your teacher does it because you know your teacher does know better but they truly believe it.In University, I actually had a teacher give a lesson that was so tinged with racism that it really broke me down, because what I've come to realize is that so many people think that being racist is saying actual racist words and don't understand that perpetuating stereotypes are the most prevalent forms of racism.  It is demoralizing because it feels like a losing battle when your teacher is perpetuating racially disparaging ideas to an entire class, and you think about how many people are going to be influenced by that idea and in turn perpetuate it. I realized that this teacher really insidiously believed what she was saying was true, but that it just wasn't politically correct to say it. The main principle of white privilege is that white people get to be individuals but people of colour get grouped together by the most base stereotype of their race.  I don't think Black-focused schools are the solution. I think more integrated schools with diverse populations of students and teachers are the solution.\n Then there are concrete issues of race, space and the law. For example when you come to realize that carding continues in Toronto, and that most residents do not care that young Black men are being harassed and treated like criminals by the police because it does not affect their community, it makes you wonder if people are only inclined to feel empathy for those who look like them.

Read our public schools rule books closely! Opt out of the No Child Left Behind Act in your school office ASAP!

Speaking as a person who came to Canada and hopes to get a PR in the coming year: The view that Canada welcomes anyone can´t be further from the truth. If you are a skilled worker, you´ve gone to school and you are relatively young, getting a citizenship is very straightforward, but if you don´t, Canada won´t have you, and you know what? it´s OK: all countries have the right to determine their immigration policy and enforce it. Canada´s point system is very transparent, you can calculate your points by yourself online. Not here to judge that guy, but a little research might have saved him a lot of trouble.

I am an African-American male. It it not very shocking to me that slavery existed in Canada. However, as a child in school,I was always taught that slaves escaped to Canada. What happened to these former slaves? Unlike the U.S these black Canadians have been able to keep their identity, mainly their name instead of taking the names of their masters.

I agree that racism exists in Canada in a subtle form. In my experience people would have more discrimination towards minority with foreign accents. I have heard from other people commenting immigrants 'this person has accent' and to me, it can be perceived negatively. Sometimes I feel I am treated differently because I have accent, especially at working environment. Few years ago I worked in school and my white boss put this on my yearly performance: Your 'emerging' English skills can have negative impact to children's language development. I didn't tell this to anyone but was very disappointed as we are a diversified country with so many immigrants, and this should not come out from an educator's mouth.

The black daddies club need to be established down here in the states!!! I grew up just a few hours from Canada in Cleveland, Ohio and my old elementary school had a weekly gathering of fathers back in the 1970's called the fathers club that met with their families every Wednesday night.

I wish people would STOP calling it a religion. It's an POLITICAL IDEOLOGY/ lifestyle.\n up till the 1400's mohommadens had (child ) as well as adult slaves. In some Islamic states they still do. Remember the over 200 school girls were kidnapped??

The UK has been too good to Muslims: over 100 Sharia courts in UK, halal food, Burqa, Islamic schools, Islamic bank accounts, Islamic shares, Islamic anti hatred laws. Even Turkey, Egypt, Syria have laws against wearing hijab or Burqa in government buildings, schools etc.

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!

Try been Native in Canada...lol yet Blacks think they get it worst then Natives in Canada? LOL bitch please try surviving Residential school which was closed down in 1995 remember folks slavery end in 1865 do the math...

IMPOSED UPON CANADIAN SCHOOL CHILDREN FIRST.

look what the teach in their school ...hate and killing infidel.homosexual.even the one leaving their religion.and the list go on....sad to say that only a very small number of muslim are here and integrate them self .the rest whant sharia law witch is absolute dictator way .anyway ..integrate or go back to muslim land .

Islamic schools are the control of children not to freedom teaches them that child marriage is good.

UTSC!!!! Loved that school.

why were all the doors closed during the tours of the school

How come the political elite.....Reps & Dems live behind their walls... send their children to the finest schools and expect the rest of us to live off of the scraps of gov. hand outs???

YOU STUPID ASS PEOPLE YOU HAVE LOST YOUR COUNTRY, THEIR PLAN IS TO TAKE OVER FIRST IN YOUR GOVERNMENTS AND THEN SCHOOLS, SOON THEY WILL BE KILLING ANY CHRISTIANS THERE , WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU ALL DONE???

Look at the schools they are trying to control what we do in our schooling the government is not protecting us from there cruelty and bullying

Islam is political as well as religious, they want to come here and turn Canada into a shithole like the one they ran away from. they cant help themselves. they will never understand that you cant have a safe place so long as ALL rights are guaranteed. and we dont have any idea what is taught in their schools.

Menchinkind you don't Muslim we just want to work for money for holping there children or food or school so what if I'm you and you me what is your heart is sad that someone tell you that

I would suspect that we have no idea what is being taught in those schools. Im afraid we will be dealing with a host of home grown terror in the future. Also, we will be challenged on our ideals of western culture more and more as the percentage of islam rises in Canada.

I love this video? Thank you! I am American and I kinda getting tired of people demonizing my country. You debunked a lot of things (except the healthcare, which is accurate ?, and a lot of people here have it, 90%) and you CAN get Medicare and other government help. But the Conservative party here hates that. As a liberal, I'm fine paying taxes for a lot of things to help others and support keeping our businesses, roads, and schools safe. Oh and liberals are currently working to have stricter gun laws. America isn't perfect but then what country is?

All public school must have a prayer room for Muslims only (Ottawa Public School Board)

i don't understand how a piece of cloth makes u better person, human or religion follower thats so silly like really , better Muslim? it's joke this religion n other to many are jokes those ppl are brain-wash since they born I feel bad for those women that they don't have the freedom to do what they really wanna do. thx I god I was born with freedom of chose my husband, to change my hair color, to go whatever I want, to go any school i want , even to chance my the religion I grew up with , to have voice n vote n not b governed by any man on earth.. What a people is that

Canada is going to hell. They dont have to follow any rules. They are very rude. cheat in school while the cover there heads in the costumes. They steal. I live in a 1 bedroom there are 7 of them living above me. the dump water on my balcony all the time. Last year it was diapers. the kids are till 2-3 in the morning. they throw garbage where they want. i had to call 311 because the were cutting down healthy trees in there yard. i hate Canada and what it has become.

They should have more over sight in these schools. People can so easily be radicalized in these places. Please wake up, its already too late.

The Wahhabi Saudi Islam ,,,this niqab is forbidden in schools and government building in secular Muslim countries,,,the problem this Wahhabi Saudi orthodox Islam is corrupting the Muslim communities,,,this guys bring Arabs tradition and it's not in religion,,,and most of this Wahhabi Muslims are teaching hate against any other religions or even against the other Muslim sects like Sufi ,Shia ,ahmadiya,,,,,all secular Muslims hate when they see this long bear religious and women with burka ,,,it's like in middle age century ,just one world to this fanatic Wahhabi ,if you don't like the Canadian values why you are here ,you can go to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan ,and you can live like salve .

Does canadian government know what is being taught in that religious school?

One thing every person overlooks is the term islam. Islam consists of MANY branches, and the most violent of all, is wahhabism. wahhabism is the branch of islam that calls for the death and nonbelievers and those who break sharia. every single terrorist group practices wahhabism. want to know who spreads wahhabism? SAUDI ARABIA HAS SPENT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON WAHHABI SCHOOLS GLOBALLY CALLED MADRESAS. saudi arabia, the closest ally of western countries after israel in the middle east. your enemy is sleeping in the same bed, and our government is too greedy/stupid to actually do anything.

i am of indian descent and i grew up in canada. went to elementary middle and high school and 2 universities, and i absolutely hate the fobs and people who dont want to assimilate into our society. its usually indian people. and they always want to talk in hindi or punjabi when i am not even fluent in either. fk them.

close those brain washing schools in Canada.\nbanned niqab and free women

shopping while black -- happened to me. I was in high school at the time, and I was playing hooky from class. Went into a Lucky's shopping store just to look around, to pass the time really so that I could skip first period. Manager stopped me on my way out with angry tone, demanded me to open my purse and accused me of taking something. I hadn't of course. Later told my mom about what happened and she was so angry she demanded an apology from the store manager, who did apologize

Interesting to note 3 students from that Mississauga school went to Syria and joined Isis

Nice video, Derek. I'm gonna add something you didn't even mention. Here in the U.S., there is the Patriot Act, and a growing Police State. Our liberties and Constitutional rights are being trampled by the day. Our privacy is being lost at an alarming rate, and there are more checkpoints than ever before, tighter security measures at airports than ever before, metal detectors even at high schools for students just to attend class, and worst of all shootings of innocent people by cops (often homeless, mentally ill, etc.) than ever before. I don't know for sure, but I don't think Canada has the degree of the same problems, and if they do, they certainly aren't at the magnitude that they are happening here in the states. Those shootings are about 2,000-3,000 just in the last year!! Please be careful, especially in California, and know your U.S. Constitutional rights if/when you get stopped on the road or anywhere else.

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.

Many don't like the Islamic religion or it's practices. But, many here in America cannot see that their religion is just as strange. If we don't keep a separation between church and state, soon the Koran will be taught in public schools.

I understand the Islam Religion I read the Quran , Mohammad was a Nut case nothing more .I see Muslims asking for more than the people of Canada gets they want the government to fund Islamic centers and schools while the government does not do this for any other religion . The Alberta government built am Islamic center in Edmonton but will not give any other religion a friend ship center . I rather if no more of them comes here .

what we need is an enlightment movement with islam where the individual determines whats best for themselves rather than these literal interpretations. In the U.S. at my school many of the 3rd generation muslim kids my age are becoming integrated. Girls wear hats that conceal their hair and long sleeves that fit within their religions dress code instead of the burka and young men are very open to other people ideas such as alchohol use. The problem is when families control their children, as in any case really, and are less than open to change. As a son of an immigrant the most important step with integration is the elimination of your cultural identity, you leave your values in your own country because you are no longer in an enviorment where your opinion matters or is relevant. If muslims could adjust/conform their rules to fit the conscripts of western civilization everything would be dandy. Adapt to fit the society that you move into, dont try to reform society to better suit yourself expecially when your a foriegner.

I think that I am not trying to take sides..............its your choice..sure...o.k..i get that.. but with all the problems with the Nations security..i think they should be banned...I am not trying to violate anybodies rights..but what about the rights of innocent people who are getting slaughtered cause they wanted to go out and have a coffee or see a movie ??? this is a security act..a measure of keeping all people of this land safe.............sorry but its just a security issue..if a terrorist takes a gun shoots a few people then runs while wearing one..how do you get a description of the guilty party..its like me going into a school with a ski mask in September ...just makes people feel uneasy especially whats happening today around the world.....Peace....

Muslims do not integrate and they don't want to. They push their religion on us. They sue catholic school boards for teaching Catholicism. They are liars. They find everything we do offensive. I find covering your face, killing women and female mutilation offensive. They need to be more open .

good you should be feeling the pressure, stop the incitement in your mosques and schools and homes and maybe the west will show less 'hysteria' towards you

Thank goodness I did not grow up in the muslim community during my high school days and teenage years. All those girls  I made out in car, movies, and parties never would have happened. Specially if girls are covered up and forbidden to be touch.

now accepted the Trojan Horse in Canada n Europe works. Listen their sermon contents only politics in their Mosque and schools. And their english soft peacefully interpretations on quran n hadis..not the same as in Arab letters/characters.
