She sounds like Phillipino. Oh no. He should be charged. That's traumatizing...Just watching video alone makes my blood pressure up. Can't imagine what she must have felt. Decapitating her he says. He is out of his mind or possessed. ?

Flips watch too much asian drama and always over-exaggerate how they feel after. The dude should be charged and taken away.

This country is being ripped apart, it’s so sad to watch. No one wants to come to the table and talk ,equal rights for every one, why is that so hard to come by in this country?

Caucasians get watched in stores

Watching this was very eye opening. I now know that I would never move to Canada. That country is to far too\n\n\n\n\n\nCold

can someone explain all of the dislikes? this is one of CBC's most 'real' videos ive watched ever.

Are we watching a PsyOp?

Watched the full 10 minutes. While I heard a bunch of generalized rhetoric, there is not one single concrete example and proposed solution to said example. What’s the point of that if there is indeed a problem, and you actually care about solving it??

watched this 10 minute video I have no idea what its topic is u guys did a horrible job

I watched this video with the genuine intent to learn about systemic racism in Canada. Other than the example of people of colour not having marijuana sentences reduced, I do not feel we are offered any concrete examples. We are only given examples of (terrible) historical injustices, as well as talking heads claiming systemic racism exists without offering any examples we can actually learn about to move forward.

Of course theres racism here.\nOf course police act in terrible ways.\nOf course no one wants to talk about it... \n\nAnd no, its not as bad as it is in the states... but it exists.\nWe militarize our police.. mostly from fear.. but also because its “good politics” to say “we increased policing”\n\nNo, its not right.\n\nCall it out.\nNot sometimes..every time. Not if its your race being afflicted.. for any race. Every time.\n\nIt DOES take time... it will not happen overnight. Especially if we want it to not come BACK.. which it seems to.\n\nTeach your kids. To stand up for themselves.. and for others.\nEspecially for others. Education starts at home. Dont trust schools or others to do what’s right... not until YOU do it too.\n\nSmall, steady steps will get us there faster than huge, resisted ones.\nRemember that.\nWhen a small step is taken, doesnt matter by who.. support it. Make the ones who took it feel it was WORTH TAKING... then watch how eager they are to take the next one.\n\nTrain them like a dog. One step at a time, with constant “atta boy”’s and treats.. and one day, they will just do as they should.. because its right? Because they want the pat on the head?\nDoesnt matter why, so long as they keep taking steps.\n\nWhen they take a step and everyone complains “its not enough” or “you dont really care”... why would they do it again?\n\nReward those small steps.. pat em on the head.. and they WILL do it again.\nPunish those steps, by complaining about it, because it didn’t solve everything at once?\n\nConditions them not to bother trying.

I have a feeling that the comments section is on to watch the bugs in the jar to note observations over controversy. Curious to where that leads.

YouTube should highlight comments that don't watch the whole video

Im a white male an i worked at AutoZone , my manager who was black use to make me check on people in the store like that. 98% of the time i was told to watch black people by a black man the other 1% was druggie white people an Spanish

As a non-Canadian citizen, watching this video does not convince me that systemic racism in Canada is just as bad as in the United States

love your accent, best part about watching your videos!

I can't watch to the end. Chose whatever you want but don't put it on me and don't expect Canadian culture to bow to your demands.

Watching this. Will be tuning in Race in Canada tonight

native americans have it worse than anyone by far. My nephew is native and he'll do fine. his parents are amazing and he's ridiculously brilliant so i don't see him doing anything but succeed, but a kid without the back up of a strong family and his IQ, heck i don't think it will go well. it does hurt his feelings, even at his young age the other kids he's in school with are very disappointing.\ni have witnessed this discrimination almost every time i am where natives are other than where they are well known. Little kids get looks that aren't at all admiring their cuteness....and they are plenty cute kids. I was shocked when it was told to me, unbelieving, thats when i started watching.

Being white in Hong Kong I get followed in stores and watched. It is really stressful and annoying. I can understand how they feel.

It’s crazy they have cameras but still watch people or it’s because he had a bag with him

shoppers is the worst they watch legit everyone!!!!

Tolerate it that is a bad sign or choice of words. I would of asked him to explain or watch the tv show what would you do.

Mean while there watching the black person and its usually sometimes its the white person that's stealing the item. I've seen situation like that. I've even gone in to department stores looking to purchase something and being ignored by the sales rep they would rather help the white person than the black person in a situation where I wanted to purchase something the sales rep went to help the white lady who she spent half-an-hour with and that white woman did not purchase anything I was in a hurry ended up getting help from another sales rep ended up spending $300 the first sales rep who didn't help me looked over and saw that large purchase and thoughts to herself I should have helped that black girls. I mean in both cases you can't just judge a person by their colour a thief is a thief.

she is Islamic every time Islam is present this is what you see Americans put them in office and now they are crying what are we gonna do, Obama set this up he said he was a Christian to hide this takeover we all seen this coming and did nothing and now it is happing you want taxpayers who has non Islamic state reps and non Islamic Governors to help pay to fix your states I hope President Trump says no to all the dem states they have harassed republicans since Hillary lost ran their mouths with hate speech causing division , using terms like white privilege , not realizing how many live below the poverty level ask us how privileged we feel , ask us how we like watching people from Islamic countries sitting the white house as senators state reps or governors , we have seen what happened in other countries that took in all the Islamic refugees from Pakistan , Syria Somalia Ghana , we have 4 million people in this country who hate Jewish , Christian , Catholic , and all non Muslims, who have pretended to integrate , and say they will build a Muslim infrastructure in 2020 and plan to get rid of Trump and open the country for open immigration to , Syria , Pakistan , Somalia any and Islamic countries will be welcome

I be followed everyday I leave my house. Either my phone is tracked, my car has been tracked with a tracker. Police follow me in store, stand at the register as I checkout, walking same aisle, park beside me in parking lots, follow me on freeway with their lights flashing, refuse justice when I'm assaulted, physical, sexual.\n\nI'm question before in a report when an officer ask me what medication I'm taking , I didn't say a word but stared at him while he sat there laughing. My home been broken in my county officers, my personal items was out of order, drawers pulled out, phone messages erased, they parked at the street watch and followed. Etc....

I experienced profiling while shopping. I am a white woman. Constantly following and watching. I was shopping because I didn't know what I wanted for a gift and was looking for inspiration. That was some years ago. I was appropriately dressed and not poor looking. It is not comfortable and makes that store a place you don't want to go again.

What if..the vast majority of shoplifters are Nuns..then Nuns would be closely watched whenever they went shopping.

gotta watch this again.

Awww the Smell of Polite Racism... Can I help you Ma'am?\nDo you Need Any help?\nPeek-A-Boo I'm Watching & Following You ??️?\nMeanwhile the person with No Melanin stuffs purse! The Most Embarrassing thing ever was Walking Out the Door hearing the Beep Beep Beep because the Lady Missed taking one of the tags off!????\nNow I watch the Associate like a Hawk and Double Check that All the Tags are Removed before they put my items in the bag! And yes Shopping while Black is Most Definitely a Thing!

What about when white people are discriminated against by the blacks and Hispanics??? **** I am a white female and this sort of thing happens to me all the time. **** I have even been followed by plain clothes store security. She was white. She wasn't aware that I knew she was watching me. **** What can I do about any of this???? Not a * d a m n * thing. **** This is the way it is and it will always be this way.

I am white and I ALWAYS get asked if I need help. Maybe it is just friendly behavior and YOU ARE THE ONES who are profiling the store workers for nothing. You assume they WATCH you when they do NOT and just doing their job.

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.

From the black shoplifters I knew from r/Shoplifting back before it was shut down it was common knowledge that there was racial profiling. If you were white you had an advantage, so we would have strategies for the non-whites to mitigate the risk but ultimately the best advice was just to watch out more cause your at a higher risk of getting caught.\n\nI quit that stuff that long ago though

I don’t like some of the set ups here. Leland was watched pretty heavily in the Regina Shoppers Drug Mart. But he’s wearing a backpack over one shoulder and shopping with a reusable bag too. That is a very common theft opportunity there as products placed in reusable bags appear to be bought when proceeding through cash registers. Also side bags and half strapped on back packs are very common concealing equipment for theft. It is very common for security and staff to watch people exhibiting those signs. In fact they are trained to do exactly that. Also, he was frequenting areas with high theft products like baby formula. It’s not unreasonable to follow that kind of behaviour. Sure there could be some racial bias at play but I would follow anyone regardless of race given the same body language and equipment I observed with Leeland. A very leading story, to be sure.

i mean ive worked alot of retail and we are generally trained to approach customers regularly... retailers like best buy if they are going from section to section will often have different staff approach them simply due to how employees are trained and the fact that generally they work off commission. i can see how this can be seen as being watched. if its the same staff member over and over thats a different story.

Watch yourselves. The sly foxes are\non the loose. The victim is not aware\nof what is happening until it's too late.

who is watching this during corona?

Me and my son entered a church in Vancouver because of its beautiful building and they followed us to ask in our face if we are there in a good spirit or a bad one.I was shocked ?, how could you thats God's house open for public, any way we stayed took pictures watched a player then left.

What’s funny is these stores are busy watching so called minorities- well whites steal and get away!

Oh my my! This is an eye opener. I never notice who is watching me when I go shopping.

I'm a fan of this channel, but this episode is not a great investigation video. You send someone into a retail store with shopping bags in hand, what is going to happen? Security and staff will watch you, no matter race.

Hope those who said Hindu is intolerance need to watch this after that may be they become aware about what is secularism in terms of Islam .. although India fight with a long time but in UK it look like after some year their majority area Muslims dominated which is not good for democracy at all ..All we know what they did when they become in majority ..

watch the story of Yusuf Estes

It is always good to watch your videos,but to get that $12,000 plus needed in express entry is not easy to find such kind of money,depending on one's country of origin.

MUST WATCH. ISIS has Nothing to do with Islam? https://youtu.be/GfqnnbcUVMQ

My son worked at Superstore and he said it was 90% Natives stealing and being caught for shoplifting. Women with carts full of groceries surrounded by little kids as shields trying to walk out without paying. And when they were stopped they shouted “racism”! You make your own bed, ppl don’t get these “prejudices” from thin air. And I wonder what those little kids watching their parents steal will do?...give me a break snowflakes! And I wonder what faces the black guy would prefer? A Chinese store owner will watch the black guy and the native too, are the Chinese racists??

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 .

I cried watching this, especially the Muslim Lady standing there alone being abused and Canadians stepping up. ??

That is so racist and ignorant she has no respect for south Asian community some people are rude disrespectful and racist she didn't said sorry when someone is being racist in a bus or train people always watch the scene staring don't get me wrong
