If even one of my brothers were with me and this happened, that loser would not be standing for long. My brothers are tough as nails and very protective of me.

Canada is full of racism and that’s a fact. There is not much of the difference with the States either. Only difference is that Canada’s racism comes in the form institutional and systemic racism. The states have a way bigger platform than Canada so their situations regarding racism will be covered more than Canada’s and also Canada hides behind the “it’s such a diverse country” statement to diverge from the issue of racism. Ask yourself this- Which country do you see a wider diverse representation of, concerning the people in power? In Toronto we just had our first black police chief(which was a big thing here) a few years back while in the States they’ve been having people of colour and many minorities in power. Representation of different ethnic backgrounds is an issue here but nevertheless the states still have a long way to go with racism. I love Canada so much but there is absolutely racism that this country will not bother to even acknowledge

Really Canada?! I'm a Canadian i never see any racism in my country and why this long delay from the police to be in the Scene shortly after they call them?!it takes theme till morning?! ? \nGet this Racist out of Canada he didn't belong to our County! Clean up from these Racists we need peace ✌️ ??

Police need to be investigated for taking ao long to respond. This woman needs a restraining order against this fool.

Pac up the police take a long time these days

Racism may never go away in any part of the world. What happened long ago may not be right, events in history that happened should not be forgotten but remembered on how not to handle something. I believe everyone needs to put aside race and religion and simply care for each human being regardless of what’s happened in the past.

If Canada was serious about ending systemic racism, they would have abolished the Indian Act a long time ago.

Originally this comment was like the size of a book talking about just some of the specific examples of Police and civilian racism I witnessed with my own Caucasian eyes in this country. I am extremely patriotic and I love being Canadian but I have been saying for years that we have problems when it comes to racism but no one here wants to even acknowledge it. Of course we're not as bad as our neighbors but at least they talk about it and seem to want to come to terms with their bigotry and institutionalized racism in society. As long as we keep pretending we don't TO THIS DAY have an ongoing history with systemic racism in politics, policing and even in the workplace than we will never in real life be the actual Canada we try to tell the world and ourselves we really are and that makes me deeply sad and ashamed.

Old news is dead. Long live new news.

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

Long live Islam, a religion of love and sincerity

I am white.\nEducated. Friendly.\nBeard. Earrings. Long hair.\nI get followed all the time.\n\nWhen I was younger, I dresses sharper.\nShort hair. Trimmed goatee.\nNEVER FOLLOWED.\n\nStole stuff all the time

If this was filmed in the USA. I promise you they wouldnt be able to film for long. Someone would call the police and they'd shoot up. That's it.

As long as human have eyes/ears, there’s always going to be discrimination people. Get over it.

To me the biggest problem of people of African origin is not racism. Infact if you called a child who knows colours very well and ask that child to mention the skin colours of that panel there will be brown, pink and barge. Back to my point, people of African origin have failed to be honest with themselves thats the biggest problem. The biggest problem to solve is the family problem. African men and women majority have failed to raise up responsible children because half of the time they are absent from home. Don't tell me they are absent because they have to look for money to feed children. Let us tell our children to stay away from gangs, be at home latest by 6 pm, start recording high grades at school meaning they will be spending much time with books, wait to have sex until they are legally married, start opening businesses and build corporations like Indians and Chinese do. Then this racism issue will just disappear on its own. As long as people of African origin continue to possess the mentality that other races owe them a good life, the problem of racism won't end. I live in Africa and am an African but I see my brothers and sisters North America or Europe majority live very careless lives. Yesterday I was listening to BBC news a chief police officer of African Origin saying on average there were about 65,000 murders within the African Americans community annually. Where is racism in all this. Can't we be ashamed of ourselves. When last did you hear of such statistics in Asian communities in America or Europe. I agreed with Prime Minister about systematic racism but in my view thats not a priority for the African communities. Number 1 is raise responsible children and not weapon fleaks. Number 2 raise responsible children. Number 3 raise a responsible family then we can sincerely address this racism issue because if there are no trouble makers from our homes but only graduates, business owners, responsible youths who do not abuse substances then if we are treated unfairly it can be vividly seen that someone is discriminating against our race.

I'm white and a senior citizen, and female and like to walk up and down the aisles at Walmart just to pass the time and browse. But, if I'm in there too long they assume I'm shoplifting so they start following me all over the store and asking me a million, can I help yous. I hate it.

For Best Buy if you wondering in the store for long time employees they must offer you help . It’s not racism ??? . White people get discriminated too .

this is sadly true and i experienced it too..i had no option but to continue my education after long time of job search and no response.

i do not have a problem with racial profiling as long as I am not negatively affected by it.

Canada may have long way to go. It is a country that occasionally braves to look at the mirror, and that is something to behold. I rather be no where else but in Canada.

Long live Punjab, long live punjabiat, long live Sikhs, long live Canada.

If we apply through AIPP how long does the immigration process take for us to move to another province or place? TIA

Words as victim wut about long range

The unspoken assumption seems to be that racism is a white problem. Yet across the years I have listened to Black and Chinese people express opinions which, coming from a white person, would have meant a day in court charged with the willful promotion of hatred.\n\nFurthermore, the young woman who has difficulty with people asking where she is from might want to consider the possibility that the other party is genuinely interested in learning more about her as a person. I am a white British-Canadian and am not in the least little bit offended when people ask me about my origins.\n\nIndeed, listening to immigrants and new Canadians share their life experiences and outlooks on things has gone a long way in shaping my own opinions as to how Canada can be a better country than it is now.\n\nCase in point; I have heard immigrants and new Canadians from nations as diverse as Jamaica, Trinidad, Nigeria, Ukraine, and the Philippines compare childrens' education in Canada with children's education in their countries of origin. Guess which looks better. Hint, hint, it isn't Canada.\n\nFolks, we need to be listening.

Racism will be around as long as there are undignified people around.

Well how long do you look at baby food ????

In the United States the guy would lose his money and spend long jail time very weak from Canada ??

Anti- Islamic sentiment???? I don't mind as long as Christianity suffers the same fate. WHY???? cause your all wrong.

Eliminate racism at its root cause. As long as crime rate by race is disproportionate, people with common sense are going to stereotype.\nTry test this by walking into detroit when you are black, white and asian.. some might not literally survive.

Jai saikal ,wahe guru,long live Sikh ,long live paa ji

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 ..

You think racism is bad here. Try going to their country and see how long your head stays attached to your body.

I am not white man, but I don't really mind racism, it's everywhere, in every country, and within one country among different races, we all know it, all the immigrants who are living in North America, whichever country we came from, in those countries there are racism too between different ethnic groups, as long as someone does not harm others on racial grounds then it's ok

I personally dont care much for any religion as long as yours is non violent. and that goes for anyone but it is fair to criticize any religion with a violent history.

I’m so glad I live where I do. It’s happened to me but hasn’t happened in a long while. I go to the same places and all of the employees where I go know me.

In order to develop military long-range electromagnetic weapons, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has inhumanely experimented with hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, including many women, children and the elderly. And it is not allowed to work, marry, socialize, or isolate the victim. . . Use electromagnetic waves to persecute the victims 24 hours a day! This is the evil and dirty Fascist CCP, let more people in the world know that they are the enemy of all mankind!

First Nations so called natives are ALTAIC people from the Altaic mountains. Majority are middle eastern Muslim Turkic people’s. Obviously over time they mixed with the northern Chinese, south Siberian, Mongolian, Kazakhstan and Turks. But they all carry the haplogroup ALTAIC DNA. East and west lineages. They’ve been deceiving the brits and French for a very long time. Your tax money is paying for Muslim ottoman Turks for many decades. What a sham!!

What I love about both countries that religion doesn't play much of role . Btw Canada is 60% non religion . And USA is 40% no religion . But the most important thing is that the secular identity in both nations . Christians in both countries are not traditional Christians . But secular Christians . That's why Americans and Canadians marry other people like non religious and other religions \nAnd they are very open minded nations . I just hope if I can marry a Canadian or American because Its my dream to marry and settle down in there for a very big part of my life . I don't care what's my partner religion as long as I love and her it's enough .

This is unacceptable in islam. This people need to be in jail. Islam teaches to follow rules of the country you are in as long as it doesn't lose a threat to you religion(forcing you to do unacceptable things in Islam) I don't know why this people think they have the power to change laws. If they are not happy in the country they can leave. This are the same people spreading false info about islam. And killing of animals that pose you no threat is haram and it's a murder.

I'm a white old long haired guy and when I go to best buy I get asked alot if I need help!

Wait? Did you say great healthcare? Canadians come down to south Florida to take care of their health because Canada has a long waiting lists for medical procedures. Please research this a bit more.\nThanks

Better burgers in the U.S.? You should try the Harvey's hamburger chain, only in Canada. Long ago around 1986 an American friend studying here said he never tasted anything like it. There is higher beef standards in Canada and he found it juicy and tender in big buns.

I was waiting soo long for a video from u.

The only real Candians are First Nations and Mohawk. Everyone else is immigrant. The only reason that woman speaks that way is because their ancestors immigrated long ago.

You will see on long run they will take over your country
