Ok so let's flip the script and dress in Trump gear and walk through the black neighborhood and see how well that works out.

Well,it’s an asylum not a permanent resident

Okay. A lot of people here have no clue how the immigration system works both in the US and in Canada. “He should just have come here legally”. Well, most of the time a legal path to emigrating to the US/Canada just does not exist, and its getting more and more impossible to be granted asylum. In the US you can’t just apply for a work visa, you can’t just apply for a green card. You got to be eligible to apply for it. For a work visa you need a job offer first, you need proof of income and most of the time the employer will have to prove they couldn’t find an American to take the position. To get a green card you either have to get married to an American, invest at least $500,000 or try applying for asylum (which is almost impossible to get nowadays). ALSO to apply for asylum you need to be either inside the US or at a US port of entry. Try to be less “patriotic” and more empathetic. People flee their countries because of war, violence, cartels, gangs, terrorism, etc. They are desperate and want to protect their families and have a better life. If you were in their shoes and staying in your home country put your family in great harm you would have done the same thing. People need to stop judging, stop being selfish and start leading with empathy.

The content is really good. But I don't like the way that blue t-shirt guy tried to defame India by saying that the one can't get payoff well in India. Yes it start with low salaries but there are skilled jobs which pays more then any part of the world. It depends on skills and capabilities. I am sad that our Brothers are saying this where they born. I have a respect for every country and there are both side of coins everywhere.

U r soo lucky that u r studying abroad....best of luck do well...my dream to study abroad but we can't afford....thos ppl r v lucky who study abroad..whare ever they want

I'm well into my 40s and have NEVER seen a case prejudice at the corporate level nor have I seen a instance of gender based discrimination. Infact, many of my employers have provided me female managers and POC. This narration doesn't speak to many because IF it's seen, it should be dealt with in a car by case basis as there is no systematic bias in North America other than this current narration that there IS a bias everywhere. Ashamed my tax dollars have funded this agenda as the CBC itself is a clear example of how diverse the Canadian work force has been and continues to be.

There will always be racial bias in society. We can’t help it. Race, religion, gender, language, all part of our identity. But we are also going to have a preference for those identity traits as well. It’s the hate that is the problem. Some people have been taught or conditioned to hate certain races and identities and that is what we need to push back on.

I’m brown and I completely agree that racism is bad in Canada. I have heard n-words towards black people with the hard r, racism towards me, east asians, etc. High school was hell for me and the blatant racism continues with various friends and family. It was always overlooked and Ive been followed and pulled over by RCMP for no reason. RACISM EXISTS IN CANADA AND I LIVED WITH IT MY WHOLE LIFE AND IM ONLY IN MY EARLY 20S\nStats back it up as well. Indigenous and black people overrepresented in prison

I remember when The Sun’s front Page back around 84 they said there was a problem with Racism in the Universities. As well I remember in Delhi Ontario RCMP years back had to do a sting operation dressed up as black migrant workers to catch the group that were beating up the migrant workers out of sport. I myself here in SouthWestern Ontario been followed by Police before I know was racially based by some ignorant police in the past as well. I never done drugs, Strong Christian, Law abiding. Seen it first hand back in the 90’s and 2000. Glad I lived out in the West Coast Growing up. I could say more and what I heard from others. Racism is everywhere.

Whether you're willing to believe that these people were killed due to racism or not, they should not have been killed during a freaking WELLNESS CHECK. That's just messed up.

This was very well done. I'm Canadian and this is upsetting to me. There is no need for this. I stand for respect and equality for all people. Time for big changes in our world. Love and respect is the answer. God Bless stay safe.??☺✌

Well i bet hes happy to be in Canada right now instead of in america with these lawless police unnecessary violence and blatant discrimination towards everyone . Not to mention a full on racist running the country . The most cases of corona virus

This is nice to know but I still want to move to one of my favorite cities in Canada. I've had enough of visiting and hating to leave and the US, well, I'm pretty much over it.

Great show, love all the vids. I'd like to see one on SEXISM as well.

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.

Well you probably need to research the laws instead of just listening to the media.

Ive actually living in America applied for a job in Cooperate American. I applied with real name education and work history. I was VERY qualified if not Overqualified...i applied using a different variation of my name amd using my mothers maiden name, and got the job after interviewing with a different supervisor. Once i showed my ID for tax papers etc. I was called into the office on my orientation day amd was told that i wasnt hired using my real name and could not continue employment. Well i wasnt silent. I sued and received a settlement. Racism is everywhere even in a name

This is for everyone who says why don't you speak English when there in English speaking country well to you Canadian and other people why dont you learn other people's languages when you go on vacation hmm....? Stop expecting the world to conform to your will. I was in Madrid Spain and this Canadian couple didn't even bother learning Spanish when they spoke to us and ask for help. They expect us to conform to them when they are on vacation in a non english speaking country you can't have it both ways that double standard right there.

Racebaiting at its finest. Good job, well worth my tax money.

This happens all around the world, in the USA the Cubans are well known within Hispanic community that they (Cubans) once they get the LPR (Green Card) they leave the US and go back to Cuba for more time the immigration law allows to be out of the country as a LPR (six months) meanwhile they claim SSA without have a real presence in the country, without work record, then relatives get the welfare benefits (money) and send it to Cuba this way this well educated citizens pay their expenses without working also happens with South Americans.\nThis is a real problem that it looks like the government do nothing to fix it.

Well one of the reasons free health care works is because of our small population soo .

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

I took the test. And it starts out with connecting bad with Africans. So that after they mix things up a bit the button for bad and African are the same button. Then they switch the Africa and European to the opposite buttons. Everyone's brain works a little differently how things are categories. But I noticed it right away and thought it was not set well.

Racial profiling happens in the Court room as well in Ontario. Public servants such as judges and public safety officers/investigators treat non-white individual very poorly -- their decisions are bluntly biased against non-white claimant. (These are my first-hand accounts.) There seems to be no justice for non-white demographic groups in this province.

Wow so much hate in comments. Get well soon

I’ve had uncomfortable interactions in retail stores here in Australia, because I’m a young mum (well not anymore but I have been, I had one baby at 19,21,25 and 27). Purely because they perceived me as a skank and drain on the tax payer to them. I’ve had someone ask if I had a concession card (low income/singles) and when I said “no” they’ve said “really?” Or asked me again as though I didn’t hear them. I’ve had people ask if my children all had the same dad. I would hate to think of how that would be exacerbated if I was a person of colour. I never judge anyone on first impressions but a lot of people do. It’s really sad.

well why not just become like canada\npeople want to be in the States too though

I have been followed in Shoppers drug Mart as well.....\n\n\nTo be fair, I was stealing tho

Well it’s completely not a Rase’s at all for example I am from Fiji I never seen any one covering they face in my life but I have seen women’s covered they face in Canada wow for me it is very scary and i get panning I am very honest I am very nervous to see any one covers they face at all this is my biggerest problem ever looks like a Devil is attacking me it’s so much sceary never want to hurt any one this is reality and I also very sceard to see people with big Beard I am very soft heart person

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.

Right now iam living in India i wish I would move on to Canada because they have lot of facility and govt functions well. I wish if it happens in future ?.

There’s really only 3 big cities in Canada, Toronto Montreal and Vancouver. Which are completely different than all of Canada. Toronto is very similar to London England. Whereas Montreal is really similar to Paris. Not so much in architecture, but in terms of people, life, style, slang. Lots of people in Toronto listen to toronto artist and UK artist as well whereas Montreal residents listen to their Montreal artist and French artist from France. Most of the similarities here are actually not like any American cities. America to us seems really “white” there’s not lot of diversity there either. Toronto is so diverse, People from literally everywhere its so nice to see. Our Prime Minister also a lot better looool

Well, Canadians are a minority in North America. California has more people than Canada. There are more Blacks in the USA than all Canadas population. So, being a minority will make you feel like your kind of special. Being American is not since there are 320 million Americans .

I love both countries. I have been living in the states for the last 4 years and been in Canada 3 times . I am from Algeria. I love these two countries and wish all the world become like Canada and the U.S in term of friendship . Open border, no wars, business going so well between those two countries and so on.

Canada has a queen as well, same as Uk

Canadians are friendlier than Americans. Well educated people.

Vice news unfortunately is quite Shallow. The war in Mexico does not get reported by the Mainstream media including Vice News. ..What war you might ask.?? Well look it up? It's real..Jesus Christ loves us All. March 20, 2020..

Why then aren’t thousands of Canadians at that illegal crossing trying to stop it? Looks like the Canadian people are allowing it as well.

Hmmmmm. ..I wonder if Trump minds looking after Canada as well as the US. ?..because it's only getting worse with Liberals in control.

Well I guess if one of the Canadian police or somebody like that catch the virus from the immigrants that are coming in they can blame the Prime Minister

Look up Honduras caravan heading to the US border! its still happening in the US as well.. And that's under Trump. The deception is thick

Well we told you years ago ,Islam is a cancer . If they wanted to live peacefully they need to let go of Islam. Dont let a single mosque to be built around you and if they can live peacefully only than welcome them else dont.\nIf a mosque is allowed so will be SHARIA LAW AND SHARIA PATROL.\nDont let mosque to be around in Canada one simple step will stop radical islam.\nIf they can let go of mosque you are SAFE.

Well in The USA Indians natives native Americans whatever they’re called they’re all alcoholics and they’re always in drugs and they live off the government

Hi IGOR! How are you? hope you well.

Well done.

Did they test if white people get discriminated against by people who are black or asian as well in canada? Or just if white people discriminate?

My mother was German/Irish. My father was french/dutch. I tan quite well, enough time in the sun and I get Puerto Rican dark. I got my dad's curly hair. I spent 10 years on the south coast of of the US so when I moved back to Missouri I was quite dark, not really an issue on the cost as everyone is kinda dark lol Back in Missouri I got followed around stores, had my bags checked coming out of stores, had clears talk to me in slow broken English, and before I could open my mouth was told they didn't speak spanish. I have since lost my tan and all that with it. Stuff like that is a real wake up call.

Well the Qurann dosent really spread love and peace to the world. So that along with being at war and misinformation and propaganda is what makes people hate. Most of these people hate and dont even know why they hate and just do so because of corruption and misinformation sadly

the thing is Igor that its almost impossible to find an employer or a job offer. this program works for people who are already in the mentioned provinces. i have applied to too many job vacancies and yet no answer from them and i heard the same from other people as well.

Don't be like child. Don't believe anything you see on the media. Read about it. Than you will understand more. Zionist they created the ISIS. They support terrorist. They gave them weapon. Zionist want to control the world. Read about them as well.
