I think the people that feel systemic discrimination in Canada the most are native Americans.

I think Canada’s proximity to the USA desensitized us to its problems. Canadians have a long history of defining themselves by the fact that they are NOT American but that doesn’t shield us from the fact that we have some growing to do. We have generally more socially favorable welfare programs than the US but that doesn’t mean there isn’t systematic racism, it just means it’s shown and expressed in different ways

There is discrimination here. I am from Latin American and it has been difficult to fit in this country but most importantly to find a job. I mean fit in because they look at me very weird. I don’t really feel part of the society here. As for work/job There are many companies that only want asian or only want white people. I think Canada should start asking companies to present how many black, Latino, Asian and white were hired.

I think now you won't be accepted at all as a refugee from the US into Canada and vice versa. You have to apply in whichever of the countries you entered. I don't know if that was the law when this video was made.

I guess canada is just bunch of liars like USA. They discriminate hard workingmen and women . They don't help out families escaping from danger countries. If you think salvador is not an danger country I don't know what else.

Honestly, what did he think. It is not easy when you have no education to come and get accepted. Plus her chose Alberta when there was way better choices. For example, Montreal and Toronto are better to immigrants. There is reason why is difficult also. If Canada was to accept everybody,it may not be as safe as it is now. Canada does not welcome everyone. It wants people that can be useful to society because ppl pay a lot of taxes for services and paying for someone that can’t be helpful can be frustrating for tax payers

I think Canada is better bcz they’re more kind every time go to new York they’re so rude

I'm worried about Canada. Please Canada awake otherwise you suffer in future and think about your country. Canada look like middle eastern countries.

I would think most of the racial bias in Canada would be against First Nations.

where do you start with people like this. She really believes that Canada belongs to her. Did you go to an all white Canadian White School. When you was a kid growing up. ? At what point did you start to notice that you was a different colour to other people. When you can answer that question honestly..... then you will probably realise your the one with the problem. \nIf we are to follow history it was the white man that started to travel and from there on it was nothing but destruction. \nI wonder what will be written on your urn when you pass away and you are no longer apart of this world..... \nIn this urn lies a true Canadian . Oh s#¥t you've gone back to the earth. \nWhat you don't seem to realise is all this crap is politics \nWhen someone says to me go back to where you come from. (I'm already there. ) and my reply is take your small mind and what you claim to be your country. And shove it where the sun doesn't shine because the world belongs to me. \nI don't think you'll understand what that means and here endeth the lesson. Drops the ? Oops

GET OUT.\nhe thinks he can sneek into canada, after sneaking into the states and taking jobs from them, and doesn't like that he is most likely going to be deported? Go away. Follow the rules and law.

Of all the people in Canada who are convicted of shop lifting, what are the proportions of whites, latinos, blacks or aboriginals? Are shopkeepers justified in their suspicion? We hear a great deal about racism, but never any comparative statistics that prove or disprove it. What I am trying to say is: is there any reason why this prejudice exists in the first place?\nIn Edmonton a few years ago an aboriginal man died of a stroke while waiting for triage in a hospital emergency area. IF I remember correctly, police and hospital staff alike assumed he was drunk, not suffering a stroke. I think the chances of someone in a downtown lower east side area being drunk is much higher than having a stroke. So staff just assumed he was drunk. \nIf more people of all ethnic backgrounds behaved more like whites would that suspicion disappear? I wonder if there is a logical and reasonable explanation for why shop keepers feel they way they do.

The sad thing is that I wanted to move to Canada thinking that things is different. Am I surprised to see that things isn’t......HELL NO!!

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

Canada is NO different than the states. I live in BC and if Donald Trump came to my town, he would get the warmest welcome he ever had. Everybody here thinks he is the second coming of christ. My Canadian community is all about racism. No protests going on around here. Everyone here sez lock up the protesters. I hate this place.

after seeing this video i think canada is realy open minded. if you wanna face rascism go to other parts of the world.

Should Add SUDBURY ON THAT LIST. LANDLORDS DO NOT LIKE TO LEASE to natives because they probably think we drink like crazy. I've been sober 14 years. \nYea CANADAS GOOD AT HIDDING THEIR RACISIM

Hi there! I'm from Russia and I study at the Russian Academy Of National Economy and Public Administration. I'll get a law education but I know that one is useless for Canadian employers and I will not be able to use it in Canada. What should I do in that case? Can I pretend to work in areas somehow adjacent to this? What do you think? I'm improving my english and I decided to pass IELTS exam after my graduation. (Now I'm 18 years old)

I love when the USA and Canada play against each other in hockey, especially during the Winter Olympics.\nEdit: I'm from the US, and I was only seven years old when Crosby scored the golden goal in the Gold Medal match Vancouver 2010. After all these years, it still hurts thinking about it, but what to do, *hockey is Canada's game!*

I think Canada’s better than The US and I’ve never been there lol

In this documentary did not adress some people are insecure abou , low steam, ICame from Iran and live in Canada from east cost to Northern Ontario and Never felt different, I think this program is only for entertaing!!

If I was not from Canada I would agree with you on free healthcare, truth is healthcare is in free because you have to pay taxes, and not to mention Canada puts all their taxes towards that thing you still have to pay taxes to pay for it, No wonder the world thinks America stupid

I personally love both countries and think there great.\nMove to Canada if you want: better health, more happiness and life satisfaction and more safety and security.\nMove to the USA if you want: Better Employment and Wealth, better Education and better weather.

The only men that harass is those that have been bitten. If you think hurtful words is a detriment to your living, well guess what all the tax paying and social assistance is to us. Common sense lads, don't bite the hand that feeds you.\n\nThe greater question is, what happened to individual liberty and sovereignty in Canada? Where one with meritocracy and the fruits of his labor can succeed? Questions that the young do not find answers too today.

I live in canada and it think america and canada are supposed to be best friends

I think canada is best than US ...in some aspects

Americans don't really care about Canada much. It's a country that they can do without. I don't care what they think about America.

Why do you only get “excellent customer service” from a tipping culture? Sorry, don’t find customer service any better in US or Canada. Depends greatly on the individual / establishment. Think it is more important to give people a good, minimum, wage.

Canada is better i think ❤ from Malaysia

Canada? We speak like Americans but look, we say ''EH'' at the end of our phrases. That makes us sound Canadian. If you think that adding a stupid word at the end of a phrase is creating an accent, its an insult for all the countries that have spend centuries to develop an actual accent that makes them sound different from the others. You guys are in denial.

Tim Hortons is in Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. So I don't think seeing one ensures you're in Canada ;) Cool vid tho.

I think lots of these are stereotypes like especially the food cause I'm a canadian and think that maple syrup is way to sweet ,I also think the street are way less busy in canada and in canada where I live there are way less fast food joint's like I have never seen taco bell or chipotle in canada and where I live in bc It doesn't snow alot

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 think one of the big differences between USA & Canada is mentality. I find that Canadian’s & Australians to share more similarities in terms of mindset then Canadians & Americans.

Also in Canada they say football I think and us has soccer\nBy a French

Canada: different candy, houses, license place, cold weather.\nUsa: biggest candy retails, highest GDP in the world, most wealthiest country in the world I think.

?? 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

Does canada exist? I think it is just an extension of Washington State the region you are talking about.

Usa and Canada aren´t the best countries of the world but a lot inmigrant people think in the economic progress, but Brazil is the best country in the world or another, the USA officers cancel my Visa legal, I tried to visit Denver for 15 days, I tried to get in by Fort Lauderdale, and immigration officers, stop me, I was treated like a criminal, I am a systems engineer, a university professor and I was in a cell one night, the first time this happened to me and there is no justification when my passport and visa were fine.

Black people need to know  about  African History not European  Culture ,    let me give u  a little  about   African  History , this  for Blacks in Canada ,  America and blacks  all over the world ,   Heres  history   About our people ,    thousands years ago on the continent of Africa ,  theres was place called Ancient Egypt ,  Egypt  was birth place of math, Science,  Philososphy,  and more ,   when Greeks , like Alaxander  came  to Egypt , he study the culture of Egyptians ,  and   Greek Philosopher like  Plato  and  other Greek Philosophers who study  for over 20 to 30 years  in  Ancient Egypt,   so Greeks stole knowledge  from  from the  Ancient  Egypt .   all the letters and words didn't come  Greece ,    the Greeks stole  it   from Egypt  ,   the greeks would put their stamp on their books , so you would think that Greeks    came up    with the Knowledge , but they  didn't  , it was Ancient  Egyptians .   Ancient Egypt is been around  10 to 20 thousands  years  before Greece and Rome ,  there was no other kingdom like  Ancient  Egypt ,    many people  from different  culture  came  to Study in Egypt , before Greece and Rome   snd Arabs and Europeans .    Africa was the light of the world .    everything that  we use today like  math, Science,  letters, and words  that we use come  from  Ancient  Egypt , so black people should  feel proud of   where they   come from  ,

As AMERICANS, we don't think the US should be allowing illegals cross our boarder into CANADA. TRUMP got Mexico to do their part on our southern boarder,we should do the same for you guys. Whether sock boy wants them or not.\nSally&Dave,USA

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!

They play the we will ignore you until you go away game. But this is making them look like very bad people. Banning rebel from press conferences ? Not answering them ? Yelling racists at them this does not look good for Canada. DO they think we will stop listening to you ? lol

just imagine how it is for a brown Latino person like me. it's way worse! but I still think Canada is so much better than other places. # iLoveCanada.

Ban Islam in Europe, USA and Canada. I think that is the only solution. It's not supposed to be in Europe at all...

Bad interview why couldn't you do a interview on a American black man who moved to Canada I think the segment would have been to real and Heart broken

God this documentary is so flawed. The symphony? Really? You are comparing the 50s from today? There were much less immigrants in Canada back then. There were less immigrants and ppl of color that played instruments. And those that did, less of them actually tried out for a symphony. And then the blind resume test totally proved no bias. In fact I think it might be the opposite. I’m American (but I have a horribly foreign name). Americans looking for jobs, I think, eh... another goofball lazy American. But if I see a foreign name, I assume they might be more serious and work harder because of old school family values.

Not just Canada we have the same problem everywhere. I think Germany outranks every other country when it comes to raceism.

I loved this. I have always wanted to move to Canada and wondered about race relations. More importantly I think it is important to be honest about the struggles we all face everywhere. Nothing in this made me want to not visit Canada or think that ALL Canadians think a certain way...it was just information. Not all information is information you need to act on, but it is important for information to make you think.

This video is great I’m nursing career in Cyprus for 5years and thinking to moved Canada and I wish I can get it..
