They were always friends? Someone forgot 1812 :D

Canadians: we hate Americans \nAmericans: we hate Canadians \nDrew binsky: “These countries are close friends and are so similar” ??

Canadians are very friendly indeed.

P P....prejudice portoricans....i have had puerta Ricans call me and tell me to move out of kissiimmee because its not for white people anymore. There are Puerto Rican stores that I have tried to shop in. My black friend Shirley also does not get waited on.

I knew pink folks,who use a brown friend to be followed,while the pink foks cleaned out the store..\n\nThey can turn the alarm on anytime. I was so sick of the Walmart in Gurnee, Illinois turning on the alarm, that I had an employee walk out my cart, and alarm never went off. I decided to just shop online, and use home delivery.

Some of Trudeau's young friends are calling this Virus the Boomer Remover. Stay in the house Trudeau, you're just making things worse.

I’m so sorry for all of you precious people of Canada! You’re our neighbors (the state of Tennessee USA here) and we see you’re having to put up with everything the Democrats want to do to us if they come into power this November. (The only way they could do that is voter fraud, which is exactly what happened in what we call the mid-term elections in November 2018, when some House of Representatives and Senate seats come open in the two-year cycle halfway thru the Presidential elections - that’s how they won the House back) \n\nThat poor displaced family, though. Bless them; officials need to get to the bottom of where they’ve been, where they actually have citizenship, and attend to them properly and GET CANADIANS HOME! President Trump needs to go up there and jerk a knot in Mr. Trudeau’s rear end. (That’s an old country Southern saying; don’t overthink it please!?? We finally have a President who may be a little bristly, but he loves America and Americans and he is working hard for us!)\n\nBut seriously, wish you much success and although I can’t monetarily, our greatest weapon is prayer and my armor is on (Ephesians 6)!!! Keean, you’ve stepped up to the plate because you love Canada and want to do what’s right by her! You’re doing a wonderful job - “absolutely fantastic” as my YouTube friend Mentour pilot would say. So we hope the situation gets resolved quickly, because this virus is taking its toll on everyone in more ways than one, and in ways we’ve not even seen yet and have no way to predict. Keep looking up though! And make sure you belong to Jesus Christ . Amen!

As a teen I was followed all the time as well and I am white. People follow those groups that shoplift the most. And no, I NEVER shoplifted. Oh, and I dropped my black friend because she continuously shoplifted around me.

I'm only 12 and some 10 year old told my Spanish friend to go back to your country and I'm Filipino and that made me upset

I’m mixed race. But I noticed with my darker friends that people will follow them and check their things before going into a change room

MY IMAGINARY FRIEND IS STRONGER THAN YOUR IMAGINARY FRIEND.\n\n\nBrainwashed by a book, brainwashed by a stack of papers.\nWAKE UP!

Hi friends can any body help to find job in Canada \nMy mail I'd is kumar9116deepak@gmail.com\n\nPls help me

Islam is one of the religions invented by the devil to confuse human kind. Islam is one of the religions of the Antichrist. They changed the word of God and they worshipping the creature. Read Romans 1:25.\n\nAllah is a falling angel and all falling angels are demons. Islam is about hate. \n\nQuran 5:33\nQuran 5:14. We caused among the Christians animosity and hatred until the day of resurrection.\nQuran 5:51. Don’t take Christians and Jew as friends.\nQuran 9:29. \nQuran 9:14. Fight those who don’t believe in allah.\n\nIslam allows man to beat their wife’s.\n\nQuran 4:34\nQuran 38:44\nSahih Bukhari 72:715\nSahih Bukhari 4:2127\nSahih Muslim. 9:3506

Just happened to me at the border. I live in the us. Was going up to Canada for the weekend. Got pulled over they asked my friend 2 questions. Then pulled me in the room shut the door 2 cops in there asked me 20 questions and went through my phone. For no reason

I grew up in that environment but it didn’t stop me from making a friend and I helped him work on his hoopty

At around 18:20\nHe feels uncomfortable for receiving more friendly attention, and assumes the woman's reasoning.\nWhat if she wanted to sleep with you and not the others?\nHe admits being a very friendly guy, does he expect his friendliness to be met with insistence?\nHe'd complain either way, as he does in all the examples.\nToo much attention, too little, and just right are all wrong when compared to the other 2 guys ?

Yes, if you don't believe so. I challenge anyone to make friends an obvious ethic minority and spend 6months with them regularly. It will become obvious. A massive percentage of Canadians are not and wonderful people. Many are unfortunately. Jobs, promotions, finance, houses, shopping, etc. Just look at stats Canada records.

The presenters seems to be a bit biased thinking that all Syrians are muslims, when in fact many Syrian Arabs are Christians, and they’re the true refugees! At one time Syria also had a thriving Jewish community as well! Arab Muslims are by and large a big issue as well as other Muslims, they need tougher scrutiny than non Muslim Arabs. My friend Mohammad a Christian who was raised Muslim in Syria would agree with me.

I really wish non muslims would really read what muslims actually study. \nThey're allowed in their religion to lie to people under 3 conditions given by their prophet Muhammad\nAllowed to lie to their wife, friend to keep peace, family, and in war

My friend's dad is From India, and the first thing he looks at when renting his apartments is RACE. \nMy friend laughs, and openly tells me his dad won't rent to black people,... \nBut wait a minute, I thought only whites were racists...

My friends Smith and Wessen loves muslims. Even my Italian frien Berreta loves Muslims too.

I am Latino, more or less capuccino skin (with extra milk), I can say that racial experiments here would be very interesting. I finnished university and have experience in my field. I've been looking for a job for a while, not much luck, I'm don't get called to interviews that much, I only get calls from agents that show me positions in company that I apply for but 90% of the time get rejected right away. \n\nI have white friends, one of them didn't study university. It hasn't been easy for him either, but he's pretty lazy, I know for a fact he didn't search much and got 7 interviews in 3 months while I hardly got called for 3 companies with the help of 5 agents. He got a job for which he needed training, I got rejected for that job and I do have experience in that field. I have to say it hurts. Funny thing, even he says it's suspicious because he couldn't answer many questions on the interview

Try driving while white when Marion Barry was the mayor of DC. It was Black Cops gone wild. My white friends were harassed, roughed-up, had guns pointed in their faces and one false arrest. Funny how the news never reported that.

So Canadiens are not friendly. ?

My mother's background is ambiguous based on looks. She's actually English and Irish but she has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and naturally tanned skin. It's very unusual for someone of British ancestry, but family photo's of Mum's family show the same colouring back to her great-great-grandfather. In Britain, as a blonde, blue-eyed daughter, I've watched my whole life as people treated her differently to other relatives. She's quiet, polite and her father was a police chief inspector, she strictly obeys the law. I've overheard people refer to her as a 'paki' and all sorts of derogatory things. When we went to the US, it wasn't better. They were rude to her until she spoke and then reacted with shock. Some admitted they thought she was Mexican. \nSo, is it any easier for her in Canada? When she visits me here, she is mistaken for an aboriginal. It isn't any easier for her here. And pettiness of it all. When they hear her accent, suddenly it's like she's their best friend. \nThe sad/funny thing is, often I can't find customer service more than half the time I'm out. When I'm with my mother, there is ALWAYS someone around to ask for help.

Should have had the black guy go alone first then have his white friend go along and see if that would make a difference, it's still not right but to see the behaviour in the enployees.

Man suppressed Muslim women, not God. Their religion is fake according to my Muslim friends who don’t wear this garb.

Im surprised Canada allowed this to get this far. Anyone covering themselves up is very suspicious. Muslims need to stop pushing their fake religion into mainstream. U don’t see Christians wearing robes to work. The Muslim fake religion is based on nothing real, my Muslim friend said. Jesus was a real person. There is no real basis to their religion. If I see someone covered up, I do not shop at that store for fear of a shootout. Any lunatic can be under scarves in banks, Churches or schools. In this chaotic world which Muslims have contributed a lot to, we do not need to be covering ourselves up, especially suppressed women from archaic views made by man, not God.

Nice friend good job

Hello bro nice video yaar, bhai mera friend 21/12/19 tarik ko hi Canada ? aya he, ap consider college ye ho bro please Ripley

I'm racially prejudiced, towards Canadians, they are cool people, friendly!! :-)

There is mine chinese friend we both go together Canadian embassy for Visa he cant even speak or write English properly they give him Visa and reject me bcoz he is rich and I am poor !

Hello, I just watched your video. Three years after you made it. I hope you are still with us and a very belated Welcome. Many people throughout the world seem to have so many stereotypes about Americans. Whether it is good or bad there typically is some truth in a stereotype. Overall it seems like you are enjoying yourself and no matter what there is no place like home. I would think no matter what your current situation is you still miss Canada as I would miss the United States if I were to move to Canada. \nA couple things you mentioned in the video were not correct and as with anything there may be a little truth in the matter but yet still incorrect.\nThose who do not have health insurance are not charged or taxed $150 monthly. There is a provision in the affordable care act (ACA) that penalizes certain individuals who make above a certain dollar amount. The amount is either $150 or $300 for the entire year. I concur any monetary penalty against anyone for not having health insurance is outrageous. I could be wrong but I believe this aspect of the ACA was never implemented under President Obama and it was indefinitely suspended or revoked by President Trump. I also feel like I need to address your thoughts about the United States all about war. I believe the American people are like most other people and want peace and civility. The government and major defense contractors have differing opinions at times. Of course there is plenty of people who are war hawks but they are in the minority. Most of us are absolutely sick of war. We currently have been at war for almost 19 years. That's six complete world war 2's in their entirety. \nI think you were being awfully generous when you said obesity is on par with the rest of the world!! Unfortunately there is far to many fat people here and the problem is only getting worse because the media says be happy and proud you are fat. Celebrating obesity is absolutely insane and it sends the wrong message to young people. If a close one is fat of course I love them but I also tell them privately that they are a walking heart attack. It's more than OK to accept someone the way they are but as a friend or family member you doing them a disservice by not mentioning their obesity. \nI'm sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh or critical. I think it is a wonderful thing to share the world's longest border with such a great nation as Canada. I have always thought Canada was like the United States fraternal brother or sister. We are very much alike with a few beautiful differences that distinguishes from one another. It doesn't appear that you upload videos hear anymore but I hope you get the opportunity to read this. Thank you for coming to the United States and I love all my canadian brothers and sisters. Take care.

i got racially profiled . i went to an up scale outdoor mall. Full off super wealthy White ppl . I was with my friends in a candy store .. i bought a sprite and told the lady to keep the receipt . i didn’t think i needed it . it was only like 2 bucks. Long story short an older lady who was in her 50’s about ( white ) accuses me of stealing tells the workers to chase after me . As i’m walking out . One of the lady’s grabs my shoulder and ask me if i paid for that . i said yes i did. she asks for my receipt and i told her i just bought a sprite and didn’t think i needed it She tells me to STAY PUT . i said uh ok. She ask the lady at the register if i paid and she said yes . Remind u everyone in the store is white i’m the only black kid . Also i’m 13. My friends confronted the lady without me asking . i’m thankful for them

Weird. I'm WHITE, I live in Ottawa, and I have been attempting to get an apartment for years. I cannot get one. If it wasn't for friends, I'd be homeless. Yes, I have a job.

One doesn’t have to be \nMister Rogers to know \nthat showing our faces \nto one another \nis profoundly human.\nIt’s the first way we encounter each other in the world...we look upon each other’s faces and that’s how friends meet. \n\nFriends don’t come dressed like bank robbers, or executioners, \nor the black riders from \nLord Of The Rings.

My friend applied for work in canada and she did had a legit employer but she was denied sometimes you cannot be honest with those imbecile who works in their immigration, their government is full of hypocricy

He reminds me of a friend of mine.

One night in Chicago a friend and myself were paid to stand at the door of an art gallery during the opening party. It was in a Hispanic neighborhood. When the police inevitably arrived, they began to question the three well dressed men who had just left the gallery (two Mexican one Black).\nI approach in my jeans and t-shirt and quickly defused the situation.\nIf you don't understand what white privilege is, you should get out more.

I was in Toronto me and a friend he was a white guy and we pretend like we were a couple and as we were walking down the street people was staring at us and the police officers had said are you from the States we said yes and they said oh we thought so and I said why is that because I'm black and he's white they were very very prejudiced towards us as if no black and white couples walk down the street in Toronto that's the impression I had got hope things change by now but I'm afraid it probably haven't

Shiks are not our friend at all. They seek not shiks

Got to visit the neighbors up north two months ago and thankfully, my experience was wonderful! I'm of Mexican descent from Southern California and was visiting St. John, NB, and the people in New Brunswick were surprisingly friendly folks. I even had a random stranger who was worried about my bowel movements and warned me that eating too much seaweed would give me the runs. I absolutely enjoyed my time in New Brunswick and look forward to visiting my neighbors up north again in the near future.

Whenever someone of the Caucasian persuasion tells me that some of their best friends are black, I entertain myself by asking them what are their black friends names, just to watch em turn catch a severe case of stuttering!!!

When immigrants come to live in your land and are making up their own laws... basically they ran away from oppression to then impose their ridiculous way of life on England's population..\nCome to the US mate... I'll meet you here with two of my best friends named 12 gauge and my best friend the glock... they would both love to meet you...

Welcome to my life, my scholarship got rescinded when they realized I was a foreign students, omg! My friends rallied and went crazy, I got some other awarded something else but it felt DIRTY...alot to chew but real FACTS

In general: All people are biased, in some form and magnitude. This is something built into our DNA, from millions of years of evolution and experience, of meeting, living and/or engaging whit other people. The human brain, central nervous- and hormonal system have changed very little in the latest 20.000 years. The only thing we can do are learn or at least not act on our biased thoughts. On top of this, we have events in our lives, what we have learned from family, friends and people in our closest environment, political views/trends, our environment in general and personality treats which affects us all. What we can do to minimize this is first admitting to our selves what biases we harbour, and not act to the biases. \nThe thing is, we are all alike, but live, learn and/or act differently. We can treat people as we want to be treated ourselves and treat ourselves with the same principle we treat others.\n\n\nBe nice, treat people with the same respect as you demand.

Ive read much about the philosophy and history of the Sikh people and faith, and have immense respect for them. Even though historically they have been opressed by some muslims kingdoms, mostly today I see that they are able to put aside old history for a bette future, and for holding on to the tennants of their faith and philosophy. I say this having some sikh friends, as a Muslim from Malaysia.

This is the differences between Muslims and non Muslims. Muslims will make your life miserable. We warn you friends. From india.

To me these friends are two white guys and a black guy, I don't see three differences here
