To me, a democratic society is an equal and just society for each and every citizen. Freedom is where every citizen has all their civil rights in that democratic society. This means we should be valued and treated equally under every circumstance.\n\nI'm a Canadian and I can see we are not doing that by over-policing black and indigenous communities, by denying indigenous communities the ability to participate in Canadian society with their own culture in tact and by our biases about people with other ethnicities, like Asians and East and West Indians.\n\nWe may not be bad as the US, but we are still doing these things. It needs to be addressed and rectified if we ever want to be a truly self-aware, equal and just democratic society for every citizen.\n\nRegardless of the political party we support, I can't fathom why every citizen would not want an equal and just democratic society for themselves and their fellow citizens, as it improves everyone's lives.

I'm calling bs. I grew up in Scarborough, the schools in my area were mixed Caribbean, Canadian, European, Indian (and other South asain), Chinese (and other East Asian), middle Eastern, African, Latino, everyone went to the same school. Everyone's families were and are poor going through the same struggle. By the time I got to highschool I took the higher level courses, I went to class everyday, I wasn't a smart kid I didn't get to uni, I took a bridging program in college and got into uni. It's not hard to climb the latter in Canada if you work for it. Meanwhile at the same school a large percentage of Carribean and Somalian black students do not go to class, they skip, they dont care. In fact these same kids picked and made fun of the Asian kids that did go to school. They have zero respect imo. You can call me whatever you want I am just speaking my personal experience. School never seemed like a priority to them. I'm not Chinese or Indian but those 2 cultures always seemed like the hardest working. Those kids went to every class and got the best grades. Again Caribbean and Somalian black students in my area were more likely to be distruptive in class and get into fights. As were Greek kids and Canadian/Irish white kids. I am only pointing out the black students in relation to this video. Personal accountability is important, I don't disagree there is problems with the system but let's not act like there isn't a problem within black and even poor white culture itself. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions on these issues BUT there is NO excuse to have people rotting in prison for minor weed offenses if weed is now legal and people are making money off it! That's straight up ridiculous!

Here in the United States when we talk to Snowbird or tourist from Canada and the topic will come up about racism in Canadia, everyone always says Quebec.

White people hate everyone because they really hate themselves.

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

I'm white but discriminated against at a doctors office because I wasnt dressed nice and had insurance but hadn't met my deductible. She tried to refuse me and said right in front of me, shell never pay. I threw afit and refused to leave until I got treated. I have been discriminated against alot because I dont blow my money on the nice hair, nails and clothes and all the other nice things everyone else has.But that's ok because everything I own is paid for. Alot of sacrifice but I'd rather have my little place in the woods then to fit into today's society.

Best buy employees always ask everyone if they need help!!! They approach everyone multiple times asking if they need assistance I'm pretty sure they work on commission lol that one I dont agree with

I hate everyone equally. And I'm American

I think a little racism is in everyone of us. Our ancestors programmed us to be so. How? When the first tribes settled down, new people trying to enter the formed territory would have been confronted with hostility. This behavior is still in us. In some more, in others less.

It’s crazy how the western world is so against the muslim women covering the face, hair, body but now everyone does it themselves, especially the non muslims due to COVID-19.

If only everyone is bible trained color won't be a problem. Praise Jah~~~

So the whole study is to tell everyone that whites are the best. Nice idea

Same in F.cking Amerika too. I am mix Persian and Slovak woman and whenever people hear my accent they immediately treat me different. However, when I am with my children or with my husband everyone is so polite:(

I'm not rasim like everyone

Are you from Africa, just remember everyone black is not from Africa....

When do whites get to cry over racism. I get told I’m privileged my whole life when immigrants live better then we do!!! Canada is the new India forcing whites to pay the way for everyone els.

Canada is NO different than the states. I live in BC and if Donald Trump came to my town, he would get the warmest welcome he ever had. Everybody here thinks he is the second coming of christ. My Canadian community is all about racism. No protests going on around here. Everyone here sez lock up the protesters. I hate this place.

Many immigrants came to a white country. They should integrate, become Canadians, respect its culture and language. If this is not what they want, it would be better for them to return where they came from. They should not create problems for themselves and Canada. This is fair for everyone.

Mine would be your test suggest that you hate everyone equally

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.

Sorry but it’s the Inuit “ Metis” & Eskimos who are the natives of that country you call Canada . Everyone else are immigrants

Its so important for Canadians to know racism exists here because these so subtle yet so consequential differences are caused by us, the people. I think its impossible not to have bias everyone has a preconceived notion they evaluate others with, but to act upon that first notion without knowing the person, thats wrong.

Everyone always use hippies as easy punching bags to make themselves feel better about where they are in society but this video shows perfectly what they are about! 31:13

Not everyone behaves the same

Everybody knows where everyone comes from, do they know where they come or maybe they do not know their history history history.

I accept everyone ❤️ we are all human

Stop the race by just calling everyone earthlings instead what this planet is an alien invasion or some s***

And this is why people should stop supporting the government. Canada is an evil racist country. Thank you CBC for helping to open this up. Good discussion. I've stopped voting, why support a racist country. Refuse to participate. Everyone should watch this and CBC should be given an award for this.

I'm native American and if you can't treat everyone equally, then you can leave my land ,you are trespassing anyway.

So when a store monitors anyone that is non white, it is solely for racial reasons. BS. a retailer has the right to monitor anyone and everyone regardless of race or skin color. so take your unproven assumptions and go to hell.

Everyone is allowed to prefer living in a majority white country - except white people.

Why even experiment? its well know by everyone on planet earth the racism that is engineered on a daily basis in all walks of life for non whites.

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.

Best buy trains their employees to ask everyone that

Ok I’m so confused why did they show a head shot of everyone accept the hijabi girl????? At around 41:30

Don't judge religion everyone,come on we must stick together as different religion.

Sad to say but everyone has a little of racism in them! If you say that you don't then you're lying to yourself!!

Punjabi people are the biggest racists around they think that they're better than everyone else they look down on everyone and I'm white and they do look down on specially whites and blacks

I think everyone has their own bias / opinion for any person. Regardless if they are the same race or different. People of the same race can dress differently and people will have different opinions. All we can do is to be our best not to behave in a rude or hurtful way. And I feel for the most part, in major multicultural areas, Canadians are doing their part. \nSome of the tests in the video seem a bit too high level. It's not really scientific. You can't make any definite conclusions from it.

Now everyone wants face covering. Irony

I am a powerful woman raised by my grandparents and my parents in an amazing family. I identify myself as a woman of colour, amazing colour, it embraces me and reflects back my beauty for all around me to see. We were given every opportunity to explore the world where we lived and had passion for reading books, I was encouraged to explore so much of the world and ideologies. Issues of racism existed around me and this was unquestionable, but we had a safe place in a family with committed parents to develop and make our mark on the world. How refreshing to explore the world from a safe place and our parents especially my father encouraged us to mix with people of all cultures, because he firmly believed and I also believe there is only one race, the human race. We look different on the outside but let’s enjoy the fact that God made of one flesh all people. So, impressed with my amazing grandparents and parents... I love myself and I love the world that we live in, even though everyone is not perfect, we are are amazing. I was born in Jamaica, raised in England, UK, and now live in Canada.

It’s a myth that Canada has universal healthcare. I lived there for 4 years because of my dad’s job and his employer had to pay for hospital treatment. Canada doesn’t have universal healthcare. The hospitals aren’t government owned but the government pays for the treatment. This favor is only extended to citizens. A true universal healthcare system is the UK. EVERYONE who lives in the UK legally is entitled to free NHS healthcare.

Do the UK and US, everyone like this so Drew can see

To everyone in the United States, it's pronounced Zed not Zee.

Amen ???????????????????????????????????????? god bless everyone

It's not free healthcare, it's universal healthcare meaning everyone pays for it. I don't like it at all when people say it's free. Yes I'm Canadian

Love from Canada\nEveryone please stay home take precautions \nStay safe blessed everyone ♥️

USA=Wars and missile attacks to improve their economy. \nCanada=Peace and free health care for everyone. \n??❤️??

I am Pakistani but I love everyone and every culture
