Me right now. My husband and I are moving back to Nigeria and not regretting it one bit , we have a better life over there and we’re going with our jobs so it’s very worth it for us. I got called the n word and spit on, I got harassed so many times, I got racially profiled so many times all in the same Canada . It’s a no from me , plus the bad weather. It’s just not worth it to me at all so back home it is

Shoppers Drug Mart employees are the absolute worst in my experience for racial profiling. They opened a new store so had hardly any customers, I was shopping for painkillers where there are numerous drug types, brands, strengths (mg), styles (capsules, gel cap, tablets), amounts and prices - all in small writing which takes quite a bit of time to disseminate and decide upon especially when your eyesight is poor as mine is. After a while I looked up and noticed a security guard standing in the aisle watching me. I was shocked and confronted him, asking if he was watching me, to which he quickly denied and left. Was so disturbed I quickly left the store without buying anything and refused to return to that location. Another time I was shopping for an eyebrow pencil where the colour name was printed again in small letters so was spending time to find the one I wanted amongst all the different browns. After I had chosen and started to walk past their counter, their staff member stood with her arms folded shaking her head. This was very alarming as I had shopped in that store since it had opened! So after effectively being accused of shoplifting a $3 eyebrow pencil for no reason other than being black, at the cash line, a white guy sprints out the door carrying a $50 box of diapers! Whatever they are selling at Shoppers or anywhere else is not worth my freedom. They have no right to profile me when it is never going to be me stealing. There are many, many black people who just do not do those kinds of things. We are not all criminals. I have worked in lots of stores and the majority of people stealing are the majority of people in Canada - the white people. Stop living on stereotypes, Shoppers Drug Mart and don't pooh-pooh people's experiences when they call and complain!

What are you talking about? In every scenario there was no racism until atleast the 3rd attempt. Of course you are going to see problems if you just keep repeating a process until you finally get negative results......\n Your focused on racism that took place after multiple attempts. Why isn't this a video on the lack of racism. Searching out negatively and not finding it would have been a topic worth sharing.\n I will be unsubscribing now.

XRP IS GOING TO BE PRIME. Just a matter of time. Buy low and hodl. Anything under $1 a great investment. I don't care if i wait 5 years. But it will not take that long!!!\nThe way of currency is changing. All will be digital. Fiat debt based currency becoming a thing of the past. There will always be cash. But it will be based on physical gold and silver again. Crypto and block chain tech is going to be bigger than the Internet. Buy XRP AND SIT ON IT. 10000 usd could possibly be worth millions in the near to mid future. All you young people out there - you are in the presence of the biggest change in human history. You are the early investors. Don't miss another Amazon, WalMart or Apple opportunity!
