Please keep your uninsightful comments to yourselves. For some reason Americans feel it is their right to critique other countries that they are not in agreement with. We hear you but simply don't listen to you. Here's a simple fact you may be able to wrap your minds around. The world has changed. You cannot simply pick a time out of history and say that you want to go back to the way things were some 70 years ago. A despot has decided to ethnically cleanse his country ... for seven years that i, and as such human beings by nature are of the mindset they'd prefer to live and try to seek a better life for themselves and their families. But you don't focus on that fact. You focus on the nickels and dimes being spent on accommodation. We get it, you don't like people putting a burden on your system. The USA... wealthiest nation on the earth would prefer to not allow migrants into their county. You could afford to open up your country but are fearful of the financial burden and I have seen some Americans question why these illegals are getting free food and education on our dime. Consider an investment in your future. In 50 years the amount of money spent on these migrants fleeing from desperate situations is a paltry sum Mr Scrooge. BUT if one of those people makes a dramatic difference to your country then think how far ahead you will be. \nThe alternative is to send back the refugees or illegals and wish them well. That would be a catastrophic waste of potential life. So are you really worried about hotel costs in the grand scheme of things. Are your really? Pitiful.

Please Canada, vote the idiot out of office. I think he's Obama brother, they think so much alike.

15 years in America as an illegal. Man, I am so tired of these people who think they can break laws and move from one country to another with impunity. The question that never seems to be asked is why are these countries south of the border in such chaos? Why?\nWhy can't you find a better life in the country you were born in? Why? \nYou really need to figure out how to turn your hellholes into productive civil societies. And if you can't, tough. \n\nHere in California we've been overrun with illegals. Of course, that's no secret. However, I think the illegals and the libs here think it's a right of passage if you can speak their so-called Spanish. I say so-called because most of what I hear sounds more like Ebonics than Spanish. As a matter of fact, if you live in California and you're looking to study a second language, you should be concentrating on Mandarin, Russian, Japanese, and Korean. Those are the languages which will have real commercial use. But if you must learn Spanish, please go to Spain. That's the only place I've heard Spanish being spoken.

really pathetic thinking..…..your in Canada, so be Canadian and take these ridiculous clothes off, and if u don't like it, then please go home to the country of your birth......you look ridiculous !!!

Please stop saying hes mexican, because he isnt, americans ask why we hate them everyday and this is the reason, you guys think that every darker skin person is mexican and illegaly here, and btw we also have illegal americans in northern mexico that by the way are retired and dont pay taxes and use our healthcare in the northern states (Baja California, Sonora, Sinaloa,Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua)

Por favor de no pensar que Canada va ser algo facil. Please don't think Canada will await with open arms. This guy spent $15 thousand in lawyer's fees. Gasto quinse mil dollares y perdio.

Why the hell after all this time, it seems that he cannot or will not English. Please stay in Canada. We do not want your kind in this country. You illegals think that you deserve to be in front of people who are doing the right thing to get citizenship. Go to the back of the line.

Not all white store workers who ask you if you need help are doing so because they think you will steal. Yes, I believe you! I know it happens, but I am a cashier, and sometimes I work on self scan. During very slow times, I will see confused customers looking around, so I ask if they need help. I do that with black, white or Hispanic people. I ONLY do it if they look confused. I enjoy helping people, so for me, it's altruistic. Please don't assume all are suspicious of you. Try and know the difference between the suspicious ones vs the ones who truly care.

What how can you get closer to your faith by wearing veil on yr face? Please somebody explain it. Canadians, Europeans, fremch and americans are totally right in thier part asking everybody in their society to show atleast their face in public for proper identification. Yes you can hide rest of yrsrlf. What I think is that in ancient the burka thing was invented just because the islamic men so much perverted and were even unable control their lust even in public.

SO PLEASE DON'T SINGLE OUT THE WHITE OR ANY RACE BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE IT IN US SO THAT'S BULL AND IF YOUR A WOMAN IN A CONSTRUCTION WITH LOTS OF EXPERIENCE PEOPLE THINK THEY SEEN A GHOST SO ITS EVERYONE

Please tell me if you think OSCAR PETERSON, JAZZ PIANO PHENOM, was treated with racism in Canada

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...

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.

I'd like to address this to the woman who went to one of Trump's rallies dressed as a Moslem with her head covered with a scarf and having a sign that reads, 'I come in peace'. I don't know why she was asked to be escorted out, but by her own words the people in the crowd were throwing questions at her as to whether she had a bomb under her cloak. Well, whether she knew it or not, she provoked the crowd by wearing the mark of a Moslem - her cloak. Also, by going to the rally dressed the way she was, she knew before hand that she'd be treated that way. On her part, I see that as provocation. Had she gone plainly dressed or attired like everybody else, there would have been no adverse reaction toward her. I don't know what she could have said why she was asked to be escorted out, but she fully knows that the whole of America had been given the real and true picture of Islam - one of terror, murder, beheading, bombs, war, and blood. How do Moslems expect the most compassionate, kind, benevolent people in the world to act? So, please, use your common sense and do not see America as the enemy, the aggressor, or the provocateurs. They're not. They are just being vigilant knowing that the enemy could be so sly, cunning and untrustworthy. Islamic people,we welcomed you to our country. Don't think that we are not watching you. We have given you a new start for a happy life compared to the life you have had in your native lands, but we are guarding against an invasion that your evil governments have designed for our beloved country. The truth of the matter is that you are our guests in our country, and you don't have he right to demand of us what you like, especially when you want us to change our laws just to accommodate or please you. The more attacks you perpetrate against Americans, the more we will be true to our resolve to deport you. Good Moslems, show your rage against the radicals amongst you. If you don't, you'll be sorry, because willy nilly, you'll be affected too. You cannot be in America and refuse to live by the laws we live by.

The issue is islam, not all muslims. Unfortunately those two often go hand in hand, making it hard to criticizes islam without people thinking you are criticizing all muslims, which isn’ the case. \n\nThe issue with the religion of islam is that it is inherently not peaceful (If you want to discuss why that is more so the case than other religions we can do that). In fact in many situations you will hear Islamic muslins part of a western country use the free speech given to them, under the laws and constitution of that society, in order to impose the suggestion of sharia law. This would mean no more free speech (and far more dire consequences) for others not of islamic belief under sharia law. Sharia law is a set of religious political laws used in the majority of middle eastern Islamic countries and cultures. It is truly a backward and barbaric set of laws, incompatible with democracy and I encourage you to investigate that claim. \n\nSo essentially decreasing islam in any scenario will also decrease the political climate it wants to live in. And not only live in, but given to text in the Koran, effectively dominate. Religious assimilation and toleration is not part of the religion. And in the small case that it is, those religious peoples are second class citizens. \n\nSo you can see how it may sound harsh to say “get rid of islam/muslims” if you are ignorant to the fact of both their possible separation and islam’s eventual political goals. \n\nNot all muslims want sharia law or are as fundamental/radical as others, but that distinction can be hard to make for many people, when a lot of them are silent. All you see are the riots and bombings across the globe by radical islamists, with little or no condemnation by the former. However once again I state, the issue is islam, not all muslims.\n\nIf you think I myself am ignorant of any of this information please attempt to convince me otherwise and I will thoroughly read your argument.

My personal thought about the women in this video, good reason they cover their faces, they are butt ugly! That guy with the long beard, I can recommend him a very good Sicilian barbershop, close shave I have issues with what is going on in Canada, the fact I didn't vote for Primister Deerintheheadlights makes me all the more angry, as I feel justified to speak out against the Liberals. I didn't sign up for this. Rushing in 25k more refugees is crazy. I am concerned about the security issues, and the fact the refugees will drain even more tax dollars away from our already fragile economy. Just thinking out loud, what benefit do these refugees have coming to Canada, none. They will live a life of welfare and eventual poverty. Some very few may prosper, and others will turn to crime. I can't see 25k refugees coming to the GTA to work on the railways and build subways or doing construction work. I can't see the refugee women working at anything more than Tim Hortons, if they are even allowed to do so, based on their religion. I have seen it, I live it everyday. Someone, please prove me wrong?

wow what ego! you think you have to cover their face because men will find them so desirable! please every single woman in the video was a dog

I think Cristian's are jealous of Muslims Women's specially when they feel that Cristian women treated like sex toy while Muslim Women's enjoy there freedom and choice to wear Hijab and don' t need to expose there body to please mans...

Blacks arent the problem in canada as much as it is in the US. There was no KKK here. The people that do deserve the knowledge is the Aboriginals. The government treated them bad and so did the churches. They are what the Canadian government should be addressing and not so much the blacks as they are just as equal as a white man in Canada now. Jobs for the government 1 year have to hire more minorities then another year females and what not. I cant speak for what it is like in the US but where I live blacks are treated the same as whites. There are some arabs that think they are the gangsters and hate white peopl for ni reason. I asked them why they hates whites so much and they said its because they are pussys. That aint no damn reason. If you disagree please enlighten me with your knowledge. And if you live in the US dont comment saying you know more because i doubt you were even taught a single thing about canada in school. But if you do know something please teach me.

Are you serious?\nFirstly when you encounter information you do not like you just dismiss it as fraudulent without any evidence or reasoning - please provide your evidence that this is false\nAlso, you think that Muslim people do not decompose???\nHonestly, you need to read a book without numbered paragraphs and learn something factual instead of thinking the same as people 1400 yrs ago - you do realise that we have progressed from the time of Mohammed right?\nTime to join the modern world bloke!

Please provide your scientifically proven evidence that Humans are not part of the evolutionary cycle and provide reasonable explanation why all life would evolve and not us - that makes no sense\nIt only does if you maintain a primitive, supernatural view of the world and think we are something special in cosmic terms\nWe are just the most intelligent species to have evolved on this planet, claiming otherwise is childlike fantasy that we have a special place in the Universe, its bigger than us!

Oh please, muslims can't even get along among theirselves.\n\nYou really think that if the whole world followed islam their would be peace? Just look at the middle east to see sunni's and shia's killing eachother.\n\nYou are a deluded, religious zealout, and your kind is hated with reason.

Not atrocious at all , it is true punishment! Not disrescptul either\n\nIslam is the only peaceful religion my friend, it is the US and the UK who are the real atrocious ones. Stand up for what is right. \n\nWomen are treated like angels my friend, do not listen to the lies we are good people..\n\nCan you fuck off now please? I think my point has been made. you have no evidencce

Bahahahahahhahaaa please don't meak me laugh 'What do you think about stalinism? Islam? nazism? Islam? Mussolini? Islam China? Islam?' You're REALLY trying to compare a RELIGION ie ISLAM 'the *so called divine, unchangable, inspired work of god' to totalitarian regimes ahahahahahahahahaha you just proved my point for me without me having to utter another words about it FOOL :)
