I always thought Canada was a country that didn't discriminate against Blacks, until a Filipino brother told me the racism he faced as well as Blacks.

WOULD you recommend a country where BLACK people can LIVE without dealing with RACISM. I was born in Trinidad, and I have LIVED in Canada since 1968. With ALL of your WISDOM, please TELL me where I can GO to avoid RACISM. Every country has problems, YOU must MAKE your own CHOICE. YOU are either STRONG or YOU are WEAK. If YOU have GOALS and DREAMS, then YOU must go and fulfill them wherever the road takes YOU.

You guys are just coming here to Canada to see what you can use to advance your life so you're full of complaints. You have no care, loyalty or roots here. You're not entitled to be accommodated spoiled bratty people. \n\nImmigrants come here use up the resources and at the same time don't care about the community and bettering it which creates worsening conditions. None of you will fight for better public transportation... because you're not really going to live here, its not really your country.\n\nAs far as Quebec is concerned the Federal government stays silent out of fear of Quebec separating not silent racism. How arrogant that you think you know what's really going on girl.

The most racism province in Canada, is Quebec, is the French Quebecer is most racism!

I am black and from Canada and I can tell you no there isn’t!

I thought that Canada has a strong demand for foreign workers, mainly because of its manufacturing sector which is driven by the development of the AI.

Thanks Mr. Scott for the reporting, but the sista is bang on with her assessment. I have lived in Canada for over 35years of my life. Check my full take on the issue that i presented in response to Dylan Hill's comment below.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CANADA AND USA, IS A ZERO (0). CANADA, HAS 36 MILLION .....THE USA, HAS 360MILLION. THEY ARE THE SAME DAMN COLONIZERS .

Canada and the USA are White settler states. If you support them, you are supporting White Supremacy. \nEither help us Native Americans overthrow these colonial governments and take our landback; Or pack up and go back to Africa.

JUMPING FROM FRYING PAN INTO FIRE ! CANADA IS BRITISH ! SAME. DOGSHIT??

Duh Edmonton Canada's black population is bare minimum. Look at what Warren Moon had to deal with back in the day.

I've heard for a while Alberta in Canada was real bad. Real conservative

Canada is part of North “Amerikkka” just cause it’s not part of the United Snakkkes of Amerikkka the result is the same!

Bhai sab luxury k liye he jaate canada, wahe hataa do to kya mazaa. Isse wadia to apna india he hai ❤

Long wait times for doctor’s appointments and then you have highly qualified doctors that migrated to Canada but are forced to drive Uber and do other gigs because of the long, costly and frustrating processes they have in place to integrate them into the medical workforce.. ??‍♂️

America’s population climate condition established industry all are different then canada it should compare with Nordic nations or small European nation not with USA it’s all different it competes with giant economies CHINA JAPAN EUROPZONE INDIA RUSSIA ETC CANADA and AUSTRALIA always been developed for natural resources of the first world due to the size of land mass it’s hard to maintain such a large territory with less populations overall housing affordability with income growth healthcare sector improvement and 21st century digital economy revolution needed

Less inequality just means equally poor. Canada has a higher ratio of homelessness than the u.s…. It’s a 3rd world economy disguised as a first world. Much like Australia

Canada is heavily control by US. All Canadian politicians are pro-US and kind of giving up expanding our trades with other countries. Don't think it would change. Canadian left the country and working in US would likely come back after retirement. As medical would be too expensive for them after retirement.

The best thing for Canada is to be annexed to USA

Republicans don’t want Mexicans and Central Americans. Democrats don’t want Venezuelans. Sad. USA, Canada, and Mexico have so much land that we could all share North America.

Meh. Here in Canada, our winter is much, much more intense. We're stuck during months in feets of snow, especially in the est. The fact that we keep going through the winter is an amazing achievement in itself.

The problem with Canada is that it's governed by idiots.

I'm geeting much more in India as compare to Canada********************

Most of the skilled worker in Canada are outsider, all of them have to pass canada's exams to work. Even if you are a top doctor in your country you will have to pass a exam to now work in Canada. Other business include scammy higher educaton businesses and petrochemical.

When i was younger i thought Canada was a better version of the US, I have second thoughts about that now,

You nailed it! Literally my experience. I have to say, I am very disappointed with my life in Canada. I am planning to leave.

This is why I think Canada should be annexed, I mean united with the US.\nWe have a lot of oil in Alberta. Why didn't they send their troops to give us some democracy yet.

Mjhe bhi Jana h Canada mjhe bhi visa bhej dein

The problem is Trudeau and Freeland. Wasting our money and ignoring the real people of Canada. Be gone Trudeau you woke A Hole

Canada doesn’t have an economy anymore: it only relies on an outdated 1970s immigration system to keep boosting its population growth by around 1% a year! The immigrants are required to bring in roughly $10k per person which quickly evaporates within the ‘economy’ as most new comers struggle to,find decent jobs in the first 1-2 years of their arrival. So the ponzi scheme continues. Why do new arrivals put up with this? Well especially after Covid, vast majority of new arrivals are from countries where the economic situation is desperate. If you see new immigrants they are dominated (immigrants plus student visas) by one country - a large democratIC country on a large continent - most are effectively desperate economic refugees but the sleepy govt’s in Canada don’t care: let social devices get stretched, no cannot find a decent family doctor in any urban area, rents keep,sky rocketing, yet just let immigrants esp from one former ‘jewel in the crown’ come in unchecked!

Historically, Canada's economy has been driven by exporting raw materials. Consequently, the country lacks infrastructure to enable other markets and the populace lacks imagination and skills in other arenas that might drive innovation. We are not an intellectually sophisticated people.

Thank you for the review.\nPlease, I'll like to know what I can do to move from UK to Canada

A bunch of stupid immigrants they make them believe Canada is promise land ?

Living in Canada is like living in my freezer!! I love my warm sunshine ☀️

This is what happens when you have a long time corrupt and selfish government. We definitely need to get Trudeau out of the political scene of the world. He is destroying Canada and its once brilliant future.

Imagine having an economy based so heavily on housing...it cannot possibly be sustainable. The fact that nobody wants to live outside of Toronto, MTL, Vancouver or other big cities doesn't help. The only reason people buy houses in places like Barrie or Hamilton is because they can no longer afford anything in Toronto or the immediate suburbs. \n\nThe future of Canada is 5 giant mega-metropolises, with undeveloped wilderness everywhere else.

So, Canadians are supposed to listen to financial advice from a non Canadian about Canada. Thanks

There has to be a ton of corrupt countries to not say Canada has low corruption. Our leader has a scandal exposed every week with no repercussion.

The problem with Canada's economy is Justin Trudeau

Income inequality in Canada may be flat but WEALTH inequality is obscene and largely generational.

So grateful to see all the comments. I'm moving to Canada soon and the comments from locals helped me understand the ground reality.\nI have questions about small business/ start ups, can any of you fine people help me with these? \n1. What are the major challenges of starting a small business/startups? \n2. Is expensive mobile data a major hindrance to the growth of apps which provide services? \n3. Red flags/negatives of starting a small business. Taxes, govt procedures, ease of doing business, etc.\n4. Is funding for a good app based business idea available easily? \n5. If I have an app based idea and the backend/IT operations run out of India what could be the issues I could face legally or taxwise? \n\nWill really appreciate guidance as I'm new to Canada and really looking for real business advice. Thanks much.

I already knew that Canada had a lot of in common with Australia but this an another thing we have in common. We're not as entrepreneurial and innovative as the US but we have a resources economy and people tend to invest in property (because it's a safe investment).\n\nI would still much rather live in Australia or Canada than the US though. Universal health care, for example.

Canada needs high speed trains

The current Liberal gov't has certainly done Canada absolutely no favours over the years.

Can confirm, Canada is a landfill.

Can you jobs canada

The problem with Canada's economy is Justin Trudeau and the idiots that voted for him because he has nice hair.

I emigrated to Canada in 2020 and I like to live here but I plan to relocate to US in this year. And there is only one reason for that - real estate. It is literally impossible to buy a house in Greater Toronto Area where you need at least 1 million to buy something decent.

Canada and America have strain relations? That’s news to me.

Firstly, CANADA is an UGLY CITY compared with MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES in EUROPE. The Coldness would get you depressed! Is EITHER you stay back in AUSTRALIA or you MOVE to EUROPE...where you can see beautiful cities and landscapes. Countries LIKE IRELAND ?? , NETHERLANDS ??, SWITZERLAND ?? ETC. and guess what, you can easily migrate from one county to another with a Train or Bus. \n\nYou are welcome
