Tipping doesn’t mean good customer service. It means they fake it, and in the end, everything becomes more expensive. North America needs to get their act together. Don’t start me on taxes!

Only permanent residents are required to physically live in Canada for at least 6 months in a year to maintain their PR status. And to qualify for citizenship they need to have maintained this status for at least 3 years before they apply. The video doesn't say what happened to those who became citizens through this fraudulent means. They should be stripped of their citizenship and even deported.

Sorry Drew, you lived in the US, so there's going to be biases even if you don't mean it, as you have a more in-depth feel of living there hehe.

U really said pizza, are u meaning that is American?

Awesome video Drew ????. But aren't you worried about the coronavirus. I mean you should stay at home, bro. But anyway nice video.

What do u mean about Canada?\nIsn't it USB?

the standard of living is not the same in usa and canada lol, I mean sure if you're a rich white privileged person, you won't notice it but canada is much better for the average person.

It's not free healthcare, it's universal healthcare meaning everyone pays for it. I don't like it at all when people say it's free. Yes I'm Canadian

Soccer don’t you mean football

Italy wins on Pizza wut do u mean ?

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..

Alot of people make fun of Canada for being polite, why do a lot people do that? Just because we are polite doesn't mean you can bully us!

Cananda is tolerant, not inclusive. I’m a tiny black female and I’ve always carried myself a certain way because of my upbringing. However, I have been racially profiled my whole life. Thus, you can be ok with people being around you but it doesn’t mean that if you had a choice they would continue to remain there. We need to ask ourselves what makes a race more dominant than the other? \nThen, how did we come to this determination that a race determines a persons characteristics? \nRacism disgust me, maybe we should just all be blind lol.

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. ?

I am Canadian white woman and get remarks myself too. So what does that mean??

I’m the black woman that always gets, you don’t act like most black women. Meaning not ghetto , I don’t know why they think that’s as a compliment. That’s a nicer way of insulting me and my ppl

Some Land grabbers are mean and I feel bad for the natives they don’t deserve to be treated like this

First lets define racists what the definition means to me It is when a person discriminates against a race of people .Many people use the word to get attention or use it when they do not get their way so i am defining the diffenition meaning see we back for me in early 1960s discriminated against black people so the word became racists laws were passed to protect and change that discrimination that took place so has it changed yes it has

Maybe your liberal open door policies which have ruined Europe aren't working. Islam has no place outside of Muslim countries. Say what you wish and i mean no harm by saying it but Islam has fractions which are still violent and barbaric. We dont go over and populate their countries for a reason. WE DONT FIT IN

WOW THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!!! CLOSED MEANS CLOSED!! THEY ARE NON ESSENTIAL.

Canadians can't trespass in facilities that they pay for with their own tax dollars, but illegals can trespass in our country and live off the taxpayer. It doesn't look like we have to obey the law. Gather up a bunch of protesters and put up a blockade around the border. We already learned from the pipeline protests and railroad blockades that the law means nothing. You won't get anywhere unless you fight fire with fire.

Sorry dude, but nobody's life is on the line. This Wuhan pandemic is garbage. I mean look at the comparison to the flu. To date there have been 22 000 deaths vs Wuhan has less than 60 N. America wide. \nNo I'm not a Trudeau supporter, he's a fkg idiot.

I hate that one test on the computer, where they show images and words and think it means something when you are done. It gives me a headache. I alternate the keys as fast as I can until it is just over. That test reveals absolutely nothing.

Due to too many unhappy citizens of many lands, most productive, constructive countries are over- flooding with other nations peoples. It’s too much. When a person goes somewhere other than their own land less and less of these countries are willing to allow any more refugees in their country. Why because it’s about economics. In economic in an economy all things must be paid for. This is an Democratic society, almost all things are available through businesses. The medium of exchange for all ‘goods and services ‘ are conducted through the means of money. The masses of our nations people are not wealthy. Which most indulge themselves in employment. Employment in exchange for hours of pay we get paid.!The person most quailed to be employed are the citizens of these nations and not other nations people. What I am saying is that each land is more interested in their own home grown employee. So when you the non resident come without our permission you are the one placing yourself and your family in peril. Which means you are responsible for the pain and losses you suffer do to you either misunderstandings or non-available knowledge. Work towards asking for a better government for your own home land. And less people will be disappointed when you are rejected from lands who are already too filled !

How do you measure the fast growth of Islam? Of course by the growth of their population. That only means that they breed faster !!

Why can't we all just live normal lives?\nI don't support the LGBTQ communities but that doesn't give me the right to discriminate them.\nI don't believe in the ideologies of Christianity but that doesn't mean I have the right to discriminate them.\nI don't believe in white supremacy but that doesn't give me the right to discriminate them.

Islam means terrorism

Islamophia is everywhere in the world , means In France - Catholic vs Muslims, In Palestinian border - Israil vs Muslims , and In India Hindus vs Muslims\n\nWe Christians , Hindus, Israelis to unity against Jihadists .

Just because they speak fluent English, that doesn't means they are well literate and educated. Infact, they will be much more dangerous as an educated brainwashed orthodox killer.

I suggest you all non Muslim please read and research about Islam your own if a Muslim doesn't follow Islam and do wrong things it doesn't mean that Islam is wrong\nWhen you study about it you will know Islam is a religion of peace

Now send a teenager to these places and have them do the same thing. Any race.\nAlso, something was wrong with that racial biases test. It's supposed to change both the race AND the associated word between each photo, otherwise you don't have to read both. The test as administered can't be passed and its results don't have any meaning otherwise. You have to mix up all three things, the photo, the race word, and the associated word, or else it doesn't function correctly. The applicability of the test itself also fails if you don't adjust it to a baseline, as the idea of a 'zero bias' human being simply doesn't exist. Getting your bias down to the level of random noise is the best any human being can do, regardless of their own race.

Mam, people look at you differently, cos you are dressed differently. Apart from that, how they behave around you, depends on how your group sets as example. Group would mean your identity that is visible to people. In naqab, the first identity that is visible to people is Islam. While you can't control what other people around the world following Islam do. What you can do and encourage other Muslims around you to do is to set examples of kindness. Reaching out to people and helping people. Not just Muslims. And shun those people openly who speak radical Islam. Then you will notice, how people change the way they look at you.

I was followed a couple times in stores by people of all different races so I mean it could happen to anybody.

Can someone explaine to me the real scientific value and meaning off that test?

Means we dont need LMIA?

You don't see any other nationality's how are Muslim doing this it's always the south Asian when are these Indians in denial going to get it the Muslim world doesn't like you the middle-east laughs at you and hates you at the same time taking are religion and doing what you want with it the middle east knows that you ancestors were Indians and you put to shame your own people i mean look in the mirror and look underneath that beard and see that you look like a Indian wake up.

Well, I mean this isn’t racism. It’s just reality, cause statistically black people stole from my shop more than any other race and I’m black.

The whole bit about the store staff asking you if you needed assistance or hovering around you has happened to me when I was in Saudi Arabia in a store that sells electronic devises and books etc , bear in mind that I am Egyptian and that happens to me in Egypt as well so I don't think of it as race problem more so that some stores are just worried about theift, still that doesn't mean that I don't hate it, it makes you feel pressured to buy something so I thought if I went to Canada and if this happens to me it will be normal, now I don't think so.\nP.s. sorry my grammar and spelling isn't top notch giving that it isn't my native language.

They tell westerners Islam means peace...a lie! It actually means submit and we all know what that means??

UK should know it's NOT so easy to get over these Extremists at any cost and by any means, unless UK adopts the ways and means as in China, Srilanka, France. These Islamic Extremists will make the LIFE of UK citizens a living HELL - the bare TRUTH.\nWe in India have seen this in J&K Genocide, but world community NEVER stood by India then.\nIn fact today's UK is the hometown of Terrorists

I have read a lot of these replies and they all said that why didn't he learn English language. I myself have asked this question to some of my coworkers and this was there reply that was told to me by another person who understood what they said IT'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH and they got mad cause I laughed and said that is not what that means but yet they all got mad .but after they were told what it really meant was just as confusing as what they have been believing that it ment that they didn't have to learn a new language and now they have all are and have learned English. So my point is that it's not that they don't want to learn the language but they were denied the truth. I am by far taking up for anyone I am just asking for help with the understanding that if they didn't learn English is because they were told that they didn't have to that's all. And if I can learn a new language then why can't anyone else.

A better Muslim.....means more danger for the civil society

Try to get help at Walmart when you’re a white person mean while they are following a brown person.

If ISLAM is a dengrous religion so Muslims would never increase day by day because ISLAM is a Arabic word which means peace .. those who say that Islam is not a religion to be excepted ,are blind from their souls so that they can't see the Noor (light) of Islam.......A MUSLIM girl is like a diamond so that's for she has to cover her entire body because diamond is very precious.....❤ peace

I mean they are not wrong. When you change a countries demographic it makes the core of it feel out of place out of home. This is normal and the response is normal. Its why china japan and russia and so many wont allow alot of muslims into their country because islam is not a religion but a ideology which comes with laws that will take over the homelands law 100% \nIf you think any different you're wrong as many examples in todays countrys.

Oh and just because you read into things doesn't mean that was the Intent. I like how the white guy said he doesn't experience this much yet every ethnicity hates the whites so when is discrimination ok and acceptable and when is it equally not.

Psychology student here. In the interest of accurate information, I would like to point out some flaws I find with some of the studies in this documentary and question the conclusions reached. I understand that CBC Marketplace are not personality psychologists and therefore cannot be expected to produce the same quality of work as a scientist. However, I think it is worthwhile to think critically about the information in the media that we consume. I am also open to anyone who wants to engage in debating the contents of this documentary.\n\n\nThe following are some notes I took while watching the documentary outlining the individual hypotheses of the studies I think are flawed and descriptions of their respective accompanying errors. \n\n\nThere are three possible research questions, and thereby dependent variables, being answered by the apartment hunting studies.\n1. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \n \n2. If there is no discrimination between the white man and the first-nations man between Toronto, Montreal, Regina, and Victoria, then they should get equal treatment, including quotes and availability, when apartment hunting. \na. Could total apartments visited be a confounding variable? (4 in Toronto, 3 in Montreal, Regina, and Victoria) \nb. Could the gender of the landlord be a confounding variable (perhaps men are more discriminatory than women)? \nc. They only showed the black man apartment hunting in some of the trials. I am considering him out of the study for consistency purposes. The first-nations man is the only one who got unfair treatment in the footage of apartment hunting. \n \n3. Possible hypothesis: If male landlords/agents are more discriminatory than female landlords/agents, then the white man and the first-nations man will get different treatment at different Canadian apartments in equally diverse cities. \na. Don’t know all the information about the genders of the landlords/agents, not all the footage is shown, but the ones where they get ripped off are male. The others shown are female. The remaining interactions are not shown.\n\n\nThere are also some factors that may have influenced the racial bias survey and, in my estimation, rendered it scientifically unreliable.\n\n\n1. The bias survey and accompanying tests at the CBC attributed the differences between the studies to unconscious racism. What if it was just due to familiarity with certain racial groups over others? \na. The black participants had no bias between European-American and African Americans, supposedly indicating no racism, while the white and first-nations participants did, supposedly indicating racism. Is it possible that another interpretation of this result is that bias is a function of familiarity: that we are comfortable with the majority demographic in the geographical location we live in, as well as our own kind. Therefore, the black guys are less biased against black people due to being both black and living in a white majority demographic? \nb. The participants took the survey knowing the objectives of the researchers was to study racial discrimination. They might have influenced the answers they gave \nc. Whether the participants agreed with identity politics or not was a confounding factor that was not controlled . You can only be racially unbiased biased if you think that racial identity is a means of accurately viewing the world. People who do not believe in the existence of identity politics may answer the questions quite differently, which could be a different reason for the results.\nd. I took the study myself. The words that participants were required to match were a mix of adjectives and nouns. It is known within psychology that nouns have higher levels of imagery. This was not properly controlled and therefore is another confounding variable. \n \nAll the other studies looked fine to me. I welcome any discussion on my observations.

Canada doesn't need more immigration, everyone knows its corporate cheap labor behind it...they want to pay lower wages and increase profits even if it means the destruction of national sovereignty...these corporations need to be highlighted and action taken against them in the form of massive boycotts of their products if they don,t care why should the public...these are corporate PIGS,,disgusting greedy selfish psychopath's who only think of themselves....they should all go to jail..

I mean they just speaking facts I don’t wanna see a bunch of hajis go back to your home land
