I took all my money out of Canadian banks and moved it to Morocco.\nYou can buy a condo on the beach for $70,000 - $100,000. \n\nThe further up north you go the more it costs. \nCheck out Casablanca beautiful city. Low cost of living, amazing weather it never snows and best of all.. 0% taxes here on business.\n\nBusiness is booming here. Everything is open, no one is worried about the plandemic here. Coffee shops, restaurants, even bars which i never thought this country would have lol. This country is the best in Africa in my opinion. Rich country, rich culture, friendly and generous people. Everyone wants to be friends with the Canadian here and invite you to their homes.\n\nIn Canada people won't even greet you let alone invite you to their homes and feed you ?

This White Canadian way is what needs to leave Canada. I would love to explore the Northern part of the continent I live on, but the colonial country of Canada just has a disgusting influence on this region of the world. Would rather travel in Russia or Northern Europe at this point. Forget about me moving there. Way too late for that one Canada don’t care if I was Canada’s greatest hope past what Canada thought of me I wouldn’t take payment to live in Canada. An absolutely disgusting country built on the beautiful burial grounds of the people who actually belonged there.

Do you guys still call black ppl African Americans in Canada? I thought it would be African Canadian

Wow really thought Canadians would be a lot more nicer than that

Justin Trudeau seriously caused a huge immigration issue of Mexicans and south americans coming to our country. Like dude I was born in Canada and my parents are immigrints who came legally so I can tell you my side. A non biast side. Since I live and work here I can tell u most people of colour r welcoming, however most people who are here and have trouble finding work dont wanna see more people come and make it harder like texas and arizonia. They dont wanna have a min standard and have a reguee take their job at a quarter of what ur asking. What Justin Trudeau did was really stupid IMO. U opened the door to millions of reguees. This causing a issue more for USA, so they jump 2 international borders. My personal view is lets stip immigration. CLose the border. WE gotta take care of who we have here already. I am sick and tired of seeing people not being able to get a job here, and adding more workers with less standards is not the answer for us. This guy automatically thought we would let him in? Seriously nothing is free and promised in this world. Thus sir please go back to Mexico. You will be fine there

Security Guard: “The whole point is to make someone feel uneasy. So that if the thought of stealing accured. It would stop ? \n\nI still don’t get racism it’s like one of the only things that we LEARN and KEEP wow some people really make me think ? how tf did we make it this far \n\nHumans & Mankind. Wow it’s so ironic that kind is even in the word

I got racially discriminated on my 3rd day in Canada. And still continue to experience it from time to time.I never thought it would happen to me. ?I think i get used to it that i just ignore them.

You say that both countries are very patriotic but I must say, as a Canadian, I really don’t see the same level of “patriotism” here in Canada than in the States. It’s definitely not expressed the same way. Maybe being from Quebec is influencing my view on this a bit haha, but no I don’t think I would have used the adjective “patriotic” to describe Canadians in general. I don’t mean we hate our country, but it’s not like at the centre of our thoughts constantly.

God I never thought I would say I miss Steven Harper

I never gave it much thought, but throughout my childhood (I’m 20 now), my family and I would often be asked if we needed any assistance or were looking for anything by multiple employees multiple times when inside a store. The neighbourhood I grew up in was predominantly white. I am Asian.

Mean while there watching the black person and its usually sometimes its the white person that's stealing the item. I've seen situation like that. I've even gone in to department stores looking to purchase something and being ignored by the sales rep they would rather help the white person than the black person in a situation where I wanted to purchase something the sales rep went to help the white lady who she spent half-an-hour with and that white woman did not purchase anything I was in a hurry ended up getting help from another sales rep ended up spending $300 the first sales rep who didn't help me looked over and saw that large purchase and thoughts to herself I should have helped that black girls. I mean in both cases you can't just judge a person by their colour a thief is a thief.

Hiii. So I plan on moving to Canada in maybe 3-4 years or so after I finish highschool? I’m black and I live in America, and I was wondering if there’s police brutality and racism towards blacks in Canada? The thought of being targeted because of my race terrifies me, and I don’t want to be around this. Also I don’t want to get into any trouble with anyone, considering the fact that I’ll be a woman, alone, but would my race or gender play a big part in my safety? If anyone could help me out, that’d be great. Thank you! <3

And me I sweat alot and God they would have thought that it was me, I'm trying to get the sweating under control

That was totally unfair to assume of Shoppers in Regina. You sent your guy in with 2 personal bags. One was a personal shopping like bag in his left hand (with stuff in it already). The second one was an over the shoulder tote bag (hanging off of his right shoulder and using his right hand to keep it in place). The personal shopping like bag is open at the top and you can easily drop stuff into it, in a second. The tote bag is a fold down flap, which is popular for stealing, you can easily lift the flap ...drop something in...close the flap. If he was actually in there for shopping, he would have had a basket or cart. How is he to carry anything he buys? Both his hands are full. But he wasn't in there to shop....so neither he or the film crew thought of how is he supposed to pick anything up and keep it in his hands. (if he was really shopping). Do the test fairly.

Drew i don't think you had ever talked about Italy in details, it would be awesome to hear your thoughts about this beautiful country

I am a bit disappointed here I thought you would draw a list of subtle and little known differences that you noticed in your trips, but instead you just named a few obvious differences that anyone can also find in the first paragraph of Wikipedia in thosw two countries pages.

Has anyone given a thought how ISIS had their women dressed and if this is the example we want for muslim women in the West or Christian Countries? I would respect those who follow Islam if men were to cover up also but no only women? Please watch the following videos and LEARN SOMETHING : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE46XLnOURY / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbbAQoc5-B4 / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXBgqa-xQwY&t=76s / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NXtIUv5i2w

I thought that immigrants had to claim refugee status at the first country that they land in? That would be the U.S. Just as Trump enforced the Mexicans to keep Immigrants coming from central America to stay in Mexico.

Why they need armed guards in Canada? Thought treudeu would have bongos and welcome wagons! New York State a liberal crap hole we welcome them to leave the United States. Surprised soy boy hasn’t disarmed Canada yet!

What guttless cops ? Who would of thought ?

I’m white (European French), ow Canadian but grew up in Oakland, Calif, had a black boyfriend in High School and now have a black daughter in law so I’m comfortable and familiar with many racial issues. When Kathleen mentioned she felt uncomfortable with a white man touching her hair and saying it was beautiful, I thought that was taking her perceived racism over the top. If she had been white with the same hair only blonde it would have been equally uncomfortable. I completely agree that racism is rampant and terrible, I see it frequently but it’s important to not make Everything about racism.... that can become a problem in itself

I do experience this in stores but I never knew why they were hovering. I thought they were stocking up or just checking for items, I never paid attention. And I won't pay attention, I would just shop and pay and leave. Life is too short

I feel some sympathy for her. She is now 28 the last order would have been sent to her mother in 2006 which her mother ignored (at the time she was maybe 14) she would not have had a clue about what happened as a minor, since she was only 6 when she arrived. She should have dealt with this when she was 18 but 10 years have passed...she seems to be contributing and well spoken it's a tough call. She could go back to France and reapply as a landed immigrant - perhaps that would save face for the government and for her to get in legally. No idea why her mother thought a refugee application was a good idea from France of all places...

I would've guessed the first nations guy was European, just with a bit of a tan and some skincare issue cause of the bumps on his face. Until it was mentioned, I thought it was 2 white guys and a black guy. Maybe that's just because of how poor quality the video is.

I’ve been accused of racially profiling someone. Because my coworker asked them if then needed assistance & then I did without realizing she already had. She thought we were the same person. I guess because we are both white with brown hair? Felt awful afterward. Not sure why people would even think to spy on people of colour whilst shopping. Usually (in my experience) the people who steal seem sketchy - they won’t make eye contact, are standoffish etc. Those are the people to keep an eye on. You’re just wasting your time otherwise. I get followed quite frequently. It’s pretty funny because I’ve never stolen anything from a store in my life

For almost 150 years the Liberal Left has been conducting an experiment. The subjects of the experiment: African people and working-class whites. The hypothesis to be tested: Can people taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?\n\nThe whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements.\n\nActing on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed African people into a white society that saw them as inferiors. America has struggled with racial discord ever since.\n\nDecade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters never gave up. They insisted that if they could find the right formula the experiment would work, and concocted program after program to get the result they wanted.\n\nThey created the Freedman’s Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race preferences, built housing projects, and tried midnight basketball.\n\nTheir new laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have been otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce school integration. They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests of parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to African schools and vice versa.\n\nThey tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards, and endless hand-wringing to close the “achievement gap.” To keep white backlash in check they began punishing public and even private statements on race.\n\nThey hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded whites to “Celebrate Diversity!” and “Say No To Racism.”\n\nNothing was off limits if it might salvage the experiment.\nSome thought that the Talented Tenth would lead the way for African people. A group of elite, educated Africans would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world what Africans were capable of. There is a Talented Tenth. They are the African Americans who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and promote social stability. That is what is missing.\n\nThrough the years, too many African people continue to show an inability to function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them.\n\nDetroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and majority-black cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And Africans rarely take responsibility for their failures. Instead, they lash out in anger and resentment. Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and now Ferguson, rioting and looting are just one racial incident away.\n\nThe white elite would tell us that this doesn’t mean the experiment has failed. We just have to try harder. We need more money, more time, more understanding, more programs, more opportunities. But nothing changes no matter how much money is spent, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many African geniuses are portrayed on TV, and no matter who is president.\n\nSome argue it’s a problem of “culture,” as if culture creates people’s behavior instead of the other way around. Others blame “white privilege.” But since 1965, when the elites opened America’s doors to the Third World, immigrants from Asia and India–people who are not white, not rich, and not “connected”–have quietly succeeded. While the children of these people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT, African “youths” are committing half the country’s violent crime–crime, that has nothing to do with poverty.

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.

You guys need to do this at a Macy's. I never thought I had a super power, but apparently invisibility is my superpower.....especially when I go to Macy's. As a tan man I would get ignored often!

I’m Sikh and if a white guy thought I was imposing Sharia I would buy him a beer ? and take him to a strip club to show my solidarity

So you thought you would get asylum by breaking the law in yet another country? What an idiot!

Arent asylum seekers meant to claim asylum in the first safe country they come to?. So how come this dude lived years illegally in the U.S. without claiming asylum?. Could be because he thought Canada would be a soft touch maybe and he didnt claim in the U.S. because he knew hed be denied because he's a ecconomic migrant not an asylum seejer.

Recently I went to hot topic and all\nThe workers where white and me and my friend where the only latinas there and literally the same worker would come up to us asking if we needed help with anything every 10 minutes at LEAST and at first we thought nothing of it until we noticed the OTHER workers started coming up to us frequently, definitely made us uncomfortable ??

The burka that these so call women wear. Are very un Canadian. There is nothing Canadian about it. I would not believe anything that they say about being attacked. Too many b.s.ers on this, saying they have been attacked. It's a known fact that they lie about it. I will never ever help one if she is in distress either. Sorry but if you can't show your face then you aren't worth me fighting to save. Funny though every country these people go to, they create division and stress, fear and anger. No other political religion of this era does that. Why is it that these muslims don't choose to stay in any muslim countries (50plus) in the world. But continue to go to western countries. They certainly don't like to fit in. They seem to change the rules of Western countries to fit their narratives and agendas. And where ever they do go problems follow. Never seen this before with any other human race. That's probably a big reason why our forefathers never let them into the country to begin with. My thoughts only. Peace out.

MOST TIMES YOU OBSERVE SECURITY FOLLOWING THEY ARE NOT CLEVER ENOUGH TO BE PARTIAL. SAME OLD APPROACH.MANY TIMES ONE REALIZES THAT OTHERS ARE STEALING AND THE SECURITY IS NOWHERE NEAR. LOST FROM STORES ARE HUGE. WHY WOULD THEY CONCLUDE THAT THE PEOPLE OF COLOUR AND THE POOR ARE RESPONSIBLE. WHEN YOU HAVE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND SHOW PARTIALITY ; ONE CANNOT HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU CAN RELY ON BEING SAFE; THAT AUTHORITIES CAN REALLY PROTECT ITS CITIZENS WHEN REAL PROBLEMS THREATENING US. AMAZON CAN SOLVE THE NUISANCE.BUT THERE WILL BE ROOM FOR OTHER....\n\nI BELIEVE WE ARE NOT ALL WELL BRED AND ARE ALLOWED AS CHILDREN TO BELIEVE ASSUMPTIONS TO BE REALITY. WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE TREAT OTHERS FOR WHEN THE TIDES TURN HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE TREATED. PLEASE REMEMBER TOO THAT WITH ALL THE GOINGS ON THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE BALANCED AND INTELLIGENT. THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH GOOD HEARTS AROUND. THAT KEEPS THIS WORLD IN THE BALANCE. WE ARE AT PRESENT TIPPING THAT SCALE. UNFORTUNATELY THE OUTCOME WILL BE FAR MORE SHOCKING FOR HUMANS.REALITY IS LIFE. WE NEED TO HAVE LOVE FOR OURSELVES AND OTHERS FOR WITHOUT THAT YOU ARE JUST EXISTING.WE ARE NOT AS EVOLVE AS WE THINK. A THOUGHT........

As a Mexican American I have faced all types of racism from people of different races, including my own. I lived in Mexico for a while when I was young and would get bullied by kids who knew I was born in the U.S. Teachers also treated me different; some treated me worse than they treated the other kids, and others favored me because I was American. When I moved to Philadelphia I attended a school that was predominantly black and asian. I was the only hispanic in my class. At the time Spanish was my main language and my English was “rusty,” which led to constant bullying from classmates. They would call me “dookie face,” tell me to “go back to my country,” and even had some girls put gum on my hair. I would cry every day. I later on moved to Chicago to an area that was mostly hispanic, and that didn’t stop the bullying, either. After I finally refined my English, I no longer wanted to speak Spanish unless it was to my parents. Yes, I guess the constant bullying pushed me to feel like I had to separate myself from my hispanic heritage. When my hispanic classmates spoke to me in Spanish I only responded in English, which would make them mad and they would think that I thought I was “better than them.” Anyway, that was long ago and now as an adult I can reflect on these things so that I don’t make the same mistakes. I get along with everyone and the only thing that changes how I feel about someone is their character, not their appearance.

Import millions of Chinese and who would have thought Canada would become China. Weird.

I thought Canada would pay me to live there for free forever...what a SHAM and embarrassment this is....

But I thought Canada welcomed everyone, unlike us crazies the US. \n\nSo they actually enforce their laws, who would have thought??!?

Thought there would be more welfare benefits in Canada , this is hilarious ..... he was doing fine reaping the welfare benefits and then he got greedy and got himself in actual hardship ....... this should be an example for immigrants like this man.

1:31 I never thought I would miss this guy.I do

Ps lady you are thought of by the males of your cult think you are lower than a dog. Just watch the tapes and when complaining about the free food given by the Europeans. He said he wouldn't eat it his dog wouldn't eat it its food for women. I would feel sorry for you but you are becoming a terrible threat to our Constitution and bill of rights.

People wake up before “peoplekind “ has our tongues removed!!! Hotels!! Seriously, wouldn’t it be nice if “he” would have thought of doing it for the homeless and our homeless vets ! \nEvery day I’m suffering with mental anguish because of him, he’s destroying our beautiful country. He is the most entitled and spoiled person I’ve ever encountered. The Canadians that built this country deserve much better than this!

They arent even speaking engish yet . They stay for the money and thought canada would be easy just to skate on in. Now all are supposed to feel bad. How bad can all feel for each situation? People need to stay in their countries and work things out. I cant feel bad for all these immigrants who just want toi come and make more money. I have to struggle. What country can I go toi and get all the free free? I live in the US and the immigrants get all the food stamps and benefits. Most here cant even get insurance and they can get medicaid. My symphathy is not with them.

Thought for the day: you would still be with your family if you hadn't left Mexico and you wouldn't have to be running from the Canadian in United States government if you had come into this country legally instead of illegally. You enter this country already a criminal and you wonder why you get treated as a criminal

*He thought that Canada would welcome him with open arms... WTF?!?*\n*An uneducated person who doesn't even speak English after FIFTEEN YEARS in the US, bringing his family with him is just a cost for Canada, a big drain on the system.*

Here's a thought. Seek asylum in Mexico instead of blowing your whole bankroll on thousands of miles of travel. If Mexico won't give you asylum why would anyone else?

Who would have thought. Canada also expects people to follow laws before they enter their country. Maybe we should expect the same?

I had no idea that there were so many racists in the world. I thought we would've gotten the message through our head to how we are equal. I love to see foreigners in the U.S. because they moved here for a reason.

It's almost like their are consequences for entering a country w/o permission. Who would have thought there would be a problem. It's not like there's psychic.

I don’t know whether to believe him or call him a liar because if he had $15,000. $15,000!!! in Mexico do you understand the life you could live not saying you would be in a mansion but you would live comfortably enough to do it correctly file paperwork the way it supposed to be done wait your time and then move into America everybody thinks Canada so great but they don’t realize that Justin Trudeau is a lying piece of shit he may say one thing but Canada as a country follow the law that they have set for immigrants #fail sorry you thought Canada was better than the U.S.A
