This Canadian City Is The Anti-Asian Hate Crime Capital of North America

- It’s said to be the most Asian city outside Asia. Where a quarter of residents speak a Chinese language and the char siu rivals what’s served in Hong Kong barbecue shops. Where a Sikh gurdwara, a Tibetan monastery, and a Chinese evangelical church coexist in harmony along a 3-kilometer stretch of road dubbed the Highway to Heaven. The kind of place that should be immune to a rise in pandemic-fueled racism.
Vancouver has been anything but.
Last year, more anti-Asian hate crimes were reported to police in Vancouver, a city of 700,000 people, than in the top 10 most populous U.S. cities combined. With almost 1 out of every 2 residents of Asian descent in British Columbia experiencing a hate incident in the past year, the region is confronting an undercurrent of racism that runs as long and deep as the historical links stretching across the Pacific.
Covid-19 was the trigger. But the resentment had been building for decades. Few cities have been so visibly transformed by Asian immigration-and money-as Vancouver, a struggling industrial backwater that morphed into a glittering cosmopolis of luxury condos and designer boutiques. The disproportionate rash of incidents has raised an unsettling question: Maybe Vancouver isn’t the bastion of progressive multiculturalism it thinks it is.
“Covid has just revealed what’s always been there,” says Trixie Ling, 38, a Taiwan-born immigrant who runs a nonprofit called Flavours of Hope that assists refugee women. She was accosted in May 2020 by a man who spewed a stream of racist and sexist insults before spitting in her face. “There is so much anti-Asian racism in our past that carries through.”
The backlash against the broader Asian community started almost as soon as the virus began spreading beyond China in early 2020, with Vancouver seemingly poised to become an epicenter. The city had more direct flights with mainland China than any other in the Americas or Europe. A local businessman flying home from Wuhan became British Columbia’s Case 1 on Jan. 26, among the first detected outside Asia at the time.
Months later, it would become clear that route wasn’t, in fact, the principal cause of the virus’s spread in the area: Epidemiological studies showed that the primary source of infections was strains from Europe, eastern Canada, and Washington state.
But in the early weeks of the pandemic, simply looking Asian and wearing a mask in Vancouver triggered verbal assaults-“Virus spreaders,” “Go back to China,” “Stop stealing masks from front-line workers.” The attacks quickly escalated: One 92-year-old was hurled out of a convenience store to the sidewalk; a woman was punched in the head at a downtown bus stop in broad daylight. Vandals repeatedly defaced statues and buildings in Chinatown with racist graffiti.
In 2020, Vancouver police documented 98 anti-Asian hate crimes, an eightfold increase from the prior year. That was triple the number recorded in New York, which logged the most of any U.S. city, according to police data collected by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University at San Bernardino.
Of course, most incidents go unreported. An April 9 survey by Vancouver-based pollster Insights West revealed that 43% of British Columbia residents of Asian descent say they experienced a racist incident in the past year, ranging from racial slurs to property damage to physical assault. And almost half say they believe the racism will get worse. Another report in September found that Canada per capita had a higher incidence of anti-Asian racism than the U.S., with British Columbia topping the list.

I used to think Canadians were laid back, polite, and cool. Now this crap starts up and shows me Canada is the same as the screwed up USA. I know there are many sane and kind people in both countries but it blows me away that Vancouver is just as bad, if not worse, Oakland. So sad. Racism lives everywhere.
WolfRun59 Canada is much worse and the hate crimes data proves it.
For example, Canada registered 265 anti-black hate crimes for every 1 million black Canadians in 2020 (versus a mere 62 for every 1 million black Americans in the USA).
That means a black Canadian is more than 4 times more likely to be the victim of an anti-black hate crime than a black American!
WolfRun59 Canada is just good at propaganda, is all!
Not as bad as the States. Were still ok
@@hnmmp3778 Canada is as racist as hell. It's MUCH more racist than the USA!
@@mathematicaleconomist4943 Depend on where you live. Do you mind telling where this is more racist place than the US? I am asian I never been attack and had racial slurs towards me. Don't get me wrong some of my friends got racist attack but maybe just a hint and not towards their face
It’s not who we are as Canadians? 🤔🙄 We here in US said the exact same shit…yet, identical events are constantly unfold. Nothing will changes until one admits to the reality now and the reality of the past.
In the words of Mark Twain: "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme." Canada has a historically demonstrable habit of following in the US's footsteps while in the nation's shadow, for better or worse
I thought Canadians were more inclusive and less segregated than the US. I guess Canada is as racist, or more racist.
You have no idea, at one point I thought the same.
Canada is racist af, Canadians just hide their prejudice better than Americans, Australians, British etc.
@@biggiedii4889 yep - we also hide behind the Canadian stereotype that we are all friendly and support multiculturalism
I was trying to escape to Canada but ... oh well back to the drawing board.

Hi from Indonesia, i love Naruto 👍
If I was Japanese I would be proud too.. japanese culture is so unique compare to other asian countries and good food like sushi and ramen
@@Boymanjusri Wow, the first person I've seen who gets it. Nobody hates Asians. If anybody hates anything, it's China specifically.
I’m not proud of being an asian American because my Mom did most of the work making an asian American in her belly and I did nothing to become an asian American.
Whats the difference between Asian Hate in Canada and america? In america it will get noticed by everyone in the world. Canada news will not get known by a lot of ppl
VERY GOOD! Powerful American media coupled with Canadian propaganda!
@@victoriagreen1726 u agree right?
@@johnnywang9603 I think she agrees. She is saying the powerful American media causes racial events to be magnified and become viral (broadcast and scrutinized around the globe). Whereas identical racial events in Canada rarely make it out of Canada. That's what's fueling the false belief that the USA is one of the most racist countries in the world (it's actually one of the least racist countries!)
@@mathematicaleconomist4943 i got u and also for some reason if u search up Asian hate Canada the videos will get half dislikes while in America Asian hate videos they get thousands of likes and some dislikes
😂
We were never a multicultural country I've said that several times people vote for a representative the representative allows the Asians in that does not mean that that is the view of the majority of Canadian I am mixed-race myself and mixed race and born a Canadian citizen I remember hearing Asian songs and logos as young as four years old
hate. so much hate around the world. nobody seems to like the "other person" getting ahead in life. *sigh*
Yes. And, there is NOTHING NEW about this. It has been this way since the beginning of time! Hold onto your thoughts, ideas, inventions, your plans, your dreams, your desires, etc. etc
Don't ever tell ANYONE these things and NEVER, EVER VOICE YOUR CONCERNS AND FEARS !! BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE TO MY FELLOW MAN EVER ! Take care and be cautious out THERE !

Those Asian are too afriad to confront white people

Canada is home of one of the most multicultural cities in the world Toronto, Ontario. We have many cultures that clash daily. Many times one bad encounter will cement a hate for the whole race. We must learn to understand each other better but at the same time we must defend against Racism. I been standing up to a lot of racism in my city, but it feels like nothing ever changes and every battle is a losing one.
Can you prove it?? That Toronto is the most diverse cities in the world?
There's other cities that have diversity like Toronto, ie, New York, Los Angeles, London, Singapore to name a few....
Nah, it's a fact that Canadian whites are racist. It's the combination of white pride and French arrogance.
Even tough Toronto is diverse , every ethnicity or race stays with their own people and does not interact with other people .
For example , Chinese people stay in their on area .
Mus:lim and Pakistani people stay in their own area .
They don’t interact with other ethnicities much .

Makes me sad this goes on here and anywhere. Why is it we can walk through a flower garden and love and appreciate all the different flowers? Why is it we can appreciate all the beautiful gems pulled from our earth? Why is it we can appreciate all the different birds too? However some people suffer from rigidity and want to pick a fight. Racism is ugly it really is. Hate is adding to the problem love is adding to the solution. Each day we can choose to appreciate each other: hold a door open, smile say hello, thank someone for kindness. It goes a long long way spreads good will. Canada is a big country and room for all.
Very true. Just replied to your comment.
What is virtue signalling?
China is siberian
The Chinese murdered ten million people by deliberately releasing their Chinese coronavirus bioweapon
Because people aren’t fucking flowers! And some people are tired of the cities they grew up their entire lives in, are now unrecognizable, due to wealthy immigrants moving in and buying up properties and businesses… if you want to compare people to flowers, then excuse us for not wanting weeds suffocating our flower beds…
Alot of the anti hate crimes happen in highly Asian populated places. San Francisco for an example used to own the title of having highest Chinese population outside of China and most of the viral footages we see come from incidences in Sf. Particular, downtown and Chinatown and also Asian residential neighborhoods. It doesn’t make sense to me. You’d think a criminal would do these acts where there is less Asians, but they happen in places where there are other Asians around. Either way, this is disturbing. As a Chinese American myself, I haven’t been out as much because of the anti Asian hate crimes and I especially warn my mom who happens to be the target demographic.
It’s so sad to see, I’m not Asian but I had no idea this was happening and will be doing my best to raise awareness, will definitely be looking out for this nonsense when I go out
@@TheRedirect77 thanks for the support and yes always be on the look out and protect yourself
These crimes happen most in highly populated Chinese places, not Asian. Unfortunately, a lot of other Asians are lumped in with the Chinese.
Criminals are very much aware that Asian culture people will not report crimes to the police. Asians will turn their heads the other way and pretend not to see anything. This is the reason you are being hit. Criminals know where it is safe and people will not do anything but just ignore and sweep under the carpet . You have this problem because you invited it in to the Asian Community.
Sorry Asian people for these anti Asian. I am Latina and I love and respect Asian people. Y’all are hardworking, respectful, educated, family oriented and mind your own business. Beautiful culture.
Were getting bullied in school from Asian hate
Latinos are racist towards Asians, FACT!!!
Thank you for the kind and humane sentiment !
@@felix121984 , you welcome. Peace
Thank you ma’am. I appreciate this but it’s not your fault. I hope you’re doing well.🙏🙏
This is disappointing to Asians who blamed black people for attacks.
Ooh Yes
Roof top Koreans did not get on their roofs to sight see
USA and Canada are different. There are less black people in Canada but in USA it’s civil unrest between blacks and Asian due to it racist history since the 1900.
There are plenty of black Canadians.
@@Dennis-up8uf Not as much as USA. Look at rates and proportion dude.
I think the notion of supremacy has resulted in racism as we see it today. A lot of human atrocities have been committed because of this. Let us not forget the mass graves of native children or the relentless persecution of the Jewish people. I don't think any country in the world is exempt from racism in some form or other. We classify people as Asian American or Asian Canadian, etc. That is racist too. But the display of hatred and differentiation based on a false sense of superiority is disconcerting.
Keep in mind all the legally-embedded policies which severely restricted immigration to Canada since the 19th c. before the national railway was even built remained well in place until the late 1980/90s (original outright ban with the 'chinese exclusionary act' and reprehensibly expensive 'head tax' to even come). Inherited intergenerational trauma of extreme racial prejudice when (grand)parents first came to Canada remains strong even in the kids. Further, having the succeeding generations grow up with persistence of subtle racial undertones rooted in harmful stereotypes (ref. model minority) only serves to re-inforce this ugly cycle. At best, mild prejudice and at worst, explicit and volatile actualization of targeted racism. Sounds awfully familiar to our neighbours south of the border.
The white people are broke
Nice that you feel the need to reference the U.S. when admitting your own sins. I don't know of a ''racial group'' in American that DIDN'T suffer some form of discrimination, and yes, that includes whites.
Just a reminder that we're no better than our southern neighbours. Canada has such a far way to go.
White supremacy is a fear of what they don't know
Dude don't even compare Canadians to our Southern brothers and sisters, Americans are some of the nicest and least racist people I have ever met, it's the Canadians who're extremely racist.

@@NotReallyKachi Sadly that boringness leads many people from western countries to blame others not just minorities. Often leading a culture of violence that gets worse every year
I have lived in both the US and Canada as an Asian. You feel more isolation in Canada. The US is more inclusive if you are culturally Americanized. Canadians may be more PC, but they are not ready to include you into their league.
These angloid cakers have such poor taste of everything - culture, sport, food, yet think they are the shit too
There are more complicated reasons for this; as a 3rd-gen Canadian with a British father and a half-Brit-half-Indonesian mother, I have seen how immigrants (some my own relatives) take advantage of our lax rules and abuse our systems (many of which relied mostly on the honour system) for their benefit, thus resulting in lower quality of life for everyone else.
Yes, there is apathy towards certain ethnic groups; but it is justified, as many people have had certain negative experiences with said groups. Yes, many are great individuals, but, as a whole, they exploit our resources and wear down our society with unscrupulous practices and an unwillingness to follow our rules.
Vancouver is not a massive city.
We feel it is our right to be able to have a livable community, but we are constantly being bombarded with new immigrants - simply too many people for our city to handle...
@@hbekdanon2749 I've seen more white Canadians regardless of generations and European immigrants taking advantage of these lax laws and systems but due to the racist history of Canada as well as how white supremacy formed the framework - the focus is never on them. Most white Canadians know this but will never admit it because it will ignite white fragility.
Vice versa to you too.

A hundred years ago we blasted holes into mountaintops with dynamite - we survived then, *we will survive today*
I'm wondering, why the high rate of anti-asian hate crime happened in places where there are high amounts of Asian residents, in my view, the more Asian people's places or communities should be more solid, but everything is contrary. why? Is there any social research on this phenomenon?
It's because of the angloid.
I guess living around them makes you hate them. I don’t think you could grow up around skunks and say that “skunks don’t stink”.
The specific asians that live in Vancouver are particularly annoying, they come from wealth gleaned from government corruption in their home country Communist China. They drive poorly and are rude, unpleasant to be around in general.
Comparing incidents but not by per capita of Asian residents. At 42% of Vancouver's population, 98 hate crime incidents vs 2.7% Montreal's total population and seeing half the amount of hate crimes. May want to not sensationalized this shit.
Make people rent for 10 years in Canada before they can buy property.
People, this report is so false. It takes into account verbal abuse as a "hate crime."
I live in Calgary. Of course it's here but Canada is a total paradise compared to US on hate crimes.
total lie
Narrative error. Buzz words, newspeak and thought police. Do not stop hate, do start to love. If hate then hate hate itself. Then, hate has a purpose.
Okay so a couple of things to clarify here... No one is pissed off at a bunch of Chinese Canadians making a bunch of honest money and becoming wealthy. The reality is there are billionaires from China trying to divest their vast fortunes out of the control of the CCP and will buy up a lot of condos and properties all over Vancouver. They wont live in them or rent them in a period where theres a severe shortage of housing. So ya theres a bunch of people pissed off at billionaires from another country (doesn't matter where, just happens to be Chinese billionaires in Vancouver) who have jacked up the price of housing so actual Canadians including Chinese Canadians cant afford to live in their own city anymore. The other stat not discussed in this video is the fact that its not white supremacists attacking asian people across Canada and USA, its almost entirely black Canadian and black Americans who are guilty of these racist attacks. Im half black and I see the racist attitude towards asians all the time, and whites. Its an important detail that needs to be clarified if we're ever going to take meaningful steps at stopping it. The change needs to start in the communities that it comes from.
First, there is no such thing as a model minority. That's a trick used to keep you submissive towards them but have hostility towards other ethnic groups. This a fantasy. I'm a African-Americans(Foundational Black American) and I befriended an Asian woman from Canada when we both worked in the medical field. We were a part of a larger group of new employees working in a certain area. I was the only African-Americans(Foundational Black American) and she was the only Asian woman(from Canada). I was personable by nature or sociable; even as a young child. I saw first hand how those American Caucasians within our young professional group treated her differently. I didn't seek or needed their approval so I had fun regardless. But, I saw how they purposely tried to exclude her so I backed away from them to be her friend. I thought if I was in another country I would want someone to befriend me with pure intentions. When her mom arrived from Canada she was so kind and was respectful. Her mom treated me like her favorite niece:) I would pick her up on Saturdays so we could create fun for ourselves as young professionals. When I got into an accident, Connie came to pick me up for work and dropped me back at my home until my car was fixed. I will never forget her nor she mom's kind. She eventually went back to Canada after about five years but I hope life has been kind to her. BTW, she introduced me to high quality sushi and I introduced her to American culture(fun and clean/ innocent.
I will say: A person from The West can not purchase any businesses nor property in China. A non-Chinese can only purchase property with the assistance of another Chinese person as a partner or spouse. I think this includes most parts of Asia and not just China. So there is a double standard of Westerners. In my opinion I think The West is now protecting themselves from potential foreign invaders. When it came to the Japanese being removed from the west coast and placed into camp away from American society it was because Japan dropped a b*mb on Pearl Harbor and Japan had a cruel habit of trying to invade and takeover various societies including Hong Kong. I will say when the King of Hawaii was overthrown, a lot of Asians were bought in to work the fields and open up small businesses. Most people don't realize that the native Hawaiians are Black not Asian. Today, when a person thinks of Hawaii a person would assume that Hawaiians are ethnically Asian but this isn't the case. The last king of Hawaii I would describe as a dark skin man with thick coiled hair. His children looked mixed but he definitely was a Black negro man.
boo hoo. I worked for a majority black workplace and was bullied. Hate doesn't just apply to minorities. Whenever you find a person who hates another cultural group, you can bet your bottom dollar they have been treated poorly by that group. And blacks are the worst bullies. They pick up on weakness and exploit it. That's what many culture are wary of them.
Adopt the ways of existing country or dont immigrate there, its disrespectful...
Hate against anyone is terrible. But it's also a very ugly part of human nature. People fear those who are of the outgroup, and in very white Canada Asians are a very noticeable outgroup. The large Chinese population in Vancouver is still very new, and if we're talking about Hong Kong Chinese who started to pour in money and buy property a long time ago, it was very under the radar until Hong Kong immigration started in earnest. They didn't want to live under Chinese rule when the handover happened in 1997. I think it irked a lot of white Vancouverites that a very wealthy group of foreigners who looked very different, spoke a different language, ate different foods, and had very different traditions, was becoming the economically dominant force. My own people, the Jews, have been targets of a very similar kind of hatred for centuries. On the one hand, people don't like us because we are different, but on the other hand they don't like us because we are economically successful. With tensions brewing between China and the US, I fear a return to the dark days of WW2 which Jews were persecuted in Europe and Japanese Americans and Canadians were also persecuted and placed in prison camps. While I don't think a US war with China will result in the same outcome, I fear the violence of hateful, racists in both the US and Canada. I hope people take a strong stand against it. As someone with family in Canada, I think Chinese Canadians have made Canada a much more interesting place. How could anyone not enjoy themselves in Vancouver or Toronto? People need to find common ground.
Does Fetial have anything to do with it
The foreign investors issue is legitimate. The housing in Vancouver is absolutely ridiculous.
yes, but it's one of the causes not the single root cause, which is what the media has people thinking. as mentioned by bloomberg, other reasons include
- historically low interest rates
- no capital gains tax on primary residence
- government created "affordability" incentives to buy (HBP)
I lived there from Jan 2021 to december 2021. No hate crime from my experience. Hard to make friends. Another thing, just like any other groups, there are a lot of poor Asians too
It's the chinese communist party elite immigrants that has caused a bubble in real estate.
Why was it hard to make friends? I thought canadians were cool polite respectful ppl?
@@daebak7370 nowadays everytime you want to ask something or greet, Is considered harrassment or sexism
@@daebak7370 The opposite of that
I’m American I taught we were hell fucked up I guess Canada can take that title 😔.
Better regulations need to be placed on foreign purchases regarding of real-estate. It is very naive to take the very lax measures Canada has as a xenophobic problem in comparison to how asian countries (china/japan) regulate foreign property purchase within their own countries.
There is a very clear difference in denying/restrictions on someone because of their ethnicity vs foreign investment. Ie the former is despicable and the later is a measure to ensure equity remains in Canada and healthily redistributed within the economy over time.
If buying/investing as a foreign individual in their countries there are a lot more measures to ensure equity remain in their countries. i.e. not just through paper work/ de jure, but defacto cultural norms that severely limit procurement/opportunity of directions that are viable to you.
In general I hate house flipping/landlord for profit culture so better regulation across the board as needed.
But I am somewhat soured from to many anecdotal accounts of acquaintances/passerby bragging/having no quams about using property in Canada as
Investments for their lifestyles/ spending in their own country.
There is definitely a legacy to create a “white race” to maintain economic dominance in the americas but remember the countries being discussed have done the same in their own countries… unfortunately that is how they formed their countries too, and generally as the majority in their own country, and businesses men look at investment/ the game just the same.
So in this video there seems to be a few different points being meshed together as just xenophobia or racism, I don’t think that is the case. I do think more nationalist views should be applied to housing and for people to understand the clear differences.
Very true! People don't realize how high real estate has gone due to foreigners buying up property, which makes it much harder for native people to survive.
This is not we what we are as Canadians ? This is exactly who we are action speaks louder than words They love Asian money but not Asians take your money and go back home you don’t need this shit
Notice the list was predominantly liberal cities?
Notice how that doesn't make anything less severe
@@idkwhattoputhere616 My point is liberals are supposedly the party of peace and anti oppression.
French Canadians are also more exclusive, more racist, looks down on others not French Canadian , thinking they're better than others
Chinese can buy property in US ,Canada etc..but outsiders can't buy in CHina, not that anyone would like to buy property in a crooked authoritarian country China. Having said that, racist attacks are violent crimes including spitting. The pinishment for any racists attack should be really severe. The real estate speculation and the rise in prices are the problems of greedy canadian politicians. Foreign investment should not harm the local people and Canada made a big mistake by encourging this. Tons and tons of money in Vancouver and towns are around it owned by big chinese money. Whistler may be an exception but I don't trust this media on that.
I'm actually sad about this, now the prices of homes are higher due to this and normal midclass people can't even afford to buy one...
I can guarantee you’re an Indian,is Indian really hate Chinese,even this news is nothing about China don’t allowed outsider to buy a land in China,the news is about Anti Asian which is I’m not really pay attention,I’m nor Chinese,but yes I’m Asian..
Western corporations invest all over the world in real estate and many other sectors alike. If there's no vice versa freedom of investment, global economy would quickly collapse, and West would quickly loose this source of wealth and will have more problems on hands than just housing. Housing is an earned privilege, a reward from hardwork, not a right. Politicizing it only interfere with the free market of simple demand and supply. Foreign capital injection enters Canadian hands anyway and get circulate around into Canadian economy. Without this source of wealth, there are more problems like economic downturn, unemployment, standard of living gona go down the bin. Racism is racism. Using housing as an excuse to deflect from deeply embedded racism is just low and obvious.
You are a racist, you are just too chickenshit to admit it. Fuck you caker
You inferior complex caker.
Let's respect each other regardless of colors and stop comparing countries. Let's have peace and unity ❤
I am kind of expecting this.
As we say in Belgium, le Systeme nord américain me fait chier! This is why:
As a European, I find The issue with Vancouver (and Canada are the following):
1.it has become so much expensive while the salaries are so-so
2. More and more people are becoming like robots
3. Talking to strangers is not normal!!! For me coming from Europe (Belgium), this is very strange!!!!
4. Public transport suck!!!! (It is only good enough for people who have never left Canada)
5. The healthcare service is better than the US but is a disaster when compared to Europe… and even to some African countries (I have worked in west Africa for the French government in the past and believe me…. There u can have access to doctors on the spot.. no wait, no stupid triage systems!!); in fact here in Canada, the system is free but what I don’t understand is that it treats people (including Canadians like crap). Just in March 2022, I remember coming to a clinic and we were told it was full! Another poor elder lady came in (a Canadian) and she was told to visit another clinic… she started to complain as it has been the 6th clinic she had visited and still telling her to go away!!! FREE???? I prefer by far African healthcare (try Botswana or even Senegal!!! You willl be surprised at how bad the Canadian one is!!!!!) and I have included a video at the bottom about doctors in this strange country
6. If you have a kid with a special need (like a daughter of my colleague at work), a city like Vancouver has just 2 or ..3. Schools for special need children!!! My colleague told me both of those schools love money sooo much and quality services are far from their priority!!! But yes, Vancouver, a big city has just 2’of them!!’ How stupid is that!
7. Linked with the above, if you have a kid with condition, daycares find a way not to “welcome” then as it costs them a lot or they do not have the ressources!! So my question is: how can both parents work if daycares “refuse” kids like these? And actual even if you have a healthy kid, daycares in BC cost just sooo much as compared to Quebec for example! In the US (a country that Canadians love to point at), such daycare exist to allow parents to look for money!!! Canada, the overrated country… just slap yourself!!!
8. Same for insurances for cars!!!! In BC it is a monopoly (and a real scam) whereas in Quebec car insurance is way way cheaper!
9. Many Girls here in vans are interested for most of them… reason: cost of living! Not astonishing why we have so many sugar-papas here.
10. A society that likes to point out south when it comes to systemic racism when actually it has very few coloured CEO’s or people in high responsibility roles!!! America has race issues for sure but in many instances, Americans are much inclined to give power to a person of colour!!! Why… may be because of the civil right movements in the US…
11. People here have been raised to get INDEBTED and they are taught to spend, SPEND and Spend!!! The whole North American system is based on debt and banks get rich out of people being in debt!!! I am such in a hurry to fly back to Europe!!!
12. Unlike Europeans, North Americans and Canadians are taught to be productive, work more and not complain (unlike us Belgians or french). This has made Canadians frustrated in the inside and this frustration comes out under things like abusive language, abusive driving, binge drinking, abusing drugs and even …. Terrible behaviour that are not worth mentioning here as they are terrible to be stated for a country that claims itself to be part of G7!
13. Pensions are soooo low compared to Belgium or Germany and even if you have RRSP, chances are you won’t save much anyway and cost of living will always be increasing!!! Now, I am not astonishing why so many Canadians flock into medical, Costa Rica or even Argentina!!!! And guess what… so many narrow minded people here want immigrants (yes all of us) to stay up here when many Canadians flee the country! I would leave any way!
14. People are so lonely and have issues making friends!!! Result: many Canadians are depressed!
15. Vancouver is gloomy, grey and rainy at least 300 days a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now some still say it is not bad but trust me… it sucks and this is surely why so many are on weed here in BC , not sure how people are in the east though
16. Their phone companies and internet companies are greedy and their services cost so much! Phone companies here in Canada are crooks and keep sucking money out of customers!!! Plans are scams and those companies are just interested in making profits!!!
17. Canadian Banks are greedy just like in America! Their online system usually is unreliable and stops working suddenly for any reason! Many times, I tried to wire money from one account to another and many times, this service did not even work!!! Having lived in Western Africa for 5 years, I have almost ever come across similarly things!
18. People in Vancouver are always in a hurry for nothing and seem to be anxious, nervous and in a bad mood all the time! I have gone to Buenos Aires and Mexico a few years ago but despite the “lower income” in those countries, people seemed to be more joyful and amicable!
19. More and more drivers are impatient and behave like morons! Once I was s’imposer that I apologized in French (on purpose)! He had no say and Eve if he did, my car is in a bad shape so… I don’t think he would have dared to do anything physical! A few times I honked P-P-P - P-P which is an outrage (go and lick the *** of your ****er in a country I used to live in but which obviously is not in North America. Obviously any abusive driver here would ask himself what the heck but would have no idea even though I know he is aware it is not a compliment!
20. Unlike places like New Zealand or the US, this country keeps making publicity as having a top quality of life but what quality of life can you get with the cost of living in Toronto or Vancouver????? Unless may be you earn a lot like some privileged Canadians who have bought properties before the “crazy time” or who have huge amount of money to sleep on!
21. There are jobs but those jobs are mainly low paid (like the one the link below) and low level jobs: cashier, call center jobs, delivery jobs, working inside cold rooms at 5 am, jobs that require you to stand up, deal with lousy customers, jobs that very few locals want to do. Unlike the US employers, many Canadian employers keep using the lack of Canadian experience to refuse you a “good role”. This is why so many skilled migrants are leaving this country! They are being asked for lots of qualifications when applying but once here, many are given jobs that stand so far from their qualifications!!! Result: many are angry (like me) and many also leave or .. plan to leave anyway (like me). So if Canada wants to retain migrants here, they need to tell their employers and corporations to do better jobs with this stupid and useless Canadian experience excuse!
22. My project: leave Canada as soon as I can as staying here in this strange place is just … a trap! It is a financial trap (you just spend your days repaying credit cards and interests), you just work work work and buy groceries!!!! It is also a emotional trap as people here are stuck up and are so closed up to themselves!!! Many are so anti-social!!! Not astonishing why so many laugh by themselves or talk to themselves in the transit!!!! I thought africa had real problems (as I was working there for almost 5 years) but I think Canada is now getting worse day by day!
23. This is how the country’s airline company treats its employees www.simplyhired.ca/company/Air%20Canada
24. Video on doctors in Canada: Canada.
th-cam.com/video/GSTTZ7mtwKc/w-d-xo.html
And this is a vid about a woman whose perception of the Healthcare has changed:
th-cam.com/video/KjrteSX8nWw/w-d-xo.html
And this also happens in Canada
th-cam.com/video/fvvBIBE3Ee4/w-d-xo.html
INCROYABLE!!!! In Europe, it would probably never happen and I would say Canada does not deserve to sit in the G7 country!!! Smaller Countries like New Zealand or Australia (more efficient than Canada on so many levels, I have heard even though I have ever been there) are probably better candidates!!!
Ohhhh and Last important thing!!! In Canada, if you need an ambulance (sometimes some paramedics would ask you if you need one if you ever get a malaise outside), the ambulance COSTS MONEY (no… in France or Belgium it is FREE!!!) and the persons around you will not tell you it actually costs money. So basically if you fall or get unconscious on the street, they will call an ambulance and a few weeks later, you will get an invoice sent to your address (the amount is around 1,500 dollars to 2,500 dollars sometimes!). If if you can go home by yourself, go home and DO NOT call an ambulance!! You just give them money!
This! I've been called Ching Chong so many times on the street and at school and it's really starting to get to me
Used to reside in Canada before 2018 thankfully not anymore, have returned back to where home is ( India). Canada is definitely not for immigrants as they say. Period. It is mental humiliation to immigrate to Canada and you should be prepared to loose your self esteem.
And Indigenous continue to put up with Canadian Knotsee citizens.
expo 1986 is when the housing problem started
Based on the 1st half of this video, I was going to post this video to FB and send link to friends, but the 2nd half justifying wealthy people just buying their citizenship and running up property prices doesn't make sense.
@J S Many are homeless because of this. The second half of the video can be used as an argument to hate Asians when in reality not every Asian is rich enough to even want to increase property prices. It just fuels more hate since they put both polarizing problems in one video
How to Make Asians a target.... smh...
I'm scared to move to canada now
good, stay put where you are and eat your bat
Canadians when something bad happens in their country: NOTHING TO SEE HERE EVERYTHING IS HUNKY DORRY PEACHY KEEN, NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS IN CANADA, LOOK AMERICANS DOING SOMETHING HAHA
hate is like cancer of humanity
vancouver is overrated
Does anyone see the grand scheme of things on this? I leave it as that.
No !
Why dont you share it with us ?
Fast forward to 2023, this shit is getting worse and worse. I’m Chinese, my family is from there. The racism I experience on a day to day basis is insane. I thought Toronto is a great city, I guess not
Is it white people being racist to you?
lol would have expected this from Alberta or Saskatchewan
Get real Canadian and the world!, when will be the day the global will accept that not all slanted eyes are from Asia?. PERIOD
They think they are god and declared independence form UK in the First Nation but some Asian nation didn’t get colonized so u should respect them too
No wonder why Vanoss gaming became so edgy 👀
Some Canadians are nice but most are racist and somewhat violent. Also there is no single concept of nationhood like America but more like different races living together. Asians and East Indians are mostly timid and non-violent. Whites and blacks are easily angered and quite violent in general. It is pretty much a war of all against all as it is always been with humans but we have "free healthcare".
r u referring to asians & east indians in CANADA because that’s mos def NOT really true in other parts of the world. the recent violence by muslims against christians in pakistan is a case in point. & all based on a lie to boot. if ‘asians’ (always a vague term at best) includes japan, they have such a high of sexual assaults against women that there r separate subway cars for women. it’s an oddly disconnected choice of words you’ve used. ever heard of the “tongs”? plenty of TH-cam videos about that. & the 3 worst mass shootings of chinese (Asian) ppl in america were perpetrated by ‘ASIAN’ men. the fundamental problem IS the human male regardless of color.
Your pov is biased. Canadian people also experience hatred and discrimination from minority groups. I know people who worked in majority minority environments and were bullied and victimized. It's never about color or identity, but ignorance. When a person does not feel secure or does not understand rational thought and lack empathy, there will be ignorance and hatred. It happens across race, gender and even within communities. The problem is not culture, the problem is ignorance.
Politicians have failed Vancouver. Violent Crime, Pollution, Terrorism, and Racism are the only 4 viable paths left to Affordable housing. And off those 4 paths, 3 paths are just variations on suicide.
The rising movement that is being noticed, shows a desperate people taking to that last remaining path. Not to Thrive, nor to feed an ego, nor establish any sort of dominance. They take this path, merely, To Survive, To not be wiped out, To not be replaced from the only home they've ever known.
High Trust Societies (like the west) have no Social Defense against the Immigration of Low Trust Peoples (Non Religious Mainland Chinese). At critical mass of influx, which Vancouver has reached, the city becomes a simmering pot brewing the next perfect Hitler Nursery. And so ticks silently the Calm before the storm.
Meh all excuses, not like genocides and racism against natives was not a constant thing through out Canadian history. The modern world people have to compete and work hard like every body else. Race is fast an outdated useless thing.
Some Canadians see their cities being taken over by the so-called foreigners (Asians). About 20 or 30 years ago it was ok when wealthy Hong Kong citizen arrived, Canadian see their cities as bastions of freedom and places for refuge. But after while the Asians (wealthy mainland Chinese) starting to buy up and driving up the prices of real estate, now your average Canadian say what is happening here. The average Canadian cannot buy a house in area where they, their parents and grandparents were born. Jealousy and resentment starting to build. Then the Coronavirus came along to create the perfect storm: Cities lockdown, economic downturns, Huawei executive detention (and subsequent Canadians detention in China), increase of pandemic related anger and frustration. Now, who or where do the angry, frustrated, some mentally disturbed people take out their frustrations on? The easy target: Asians, Asian Canadians, Asian Americans , and others.
RACIAL discrimination and hatred on Asians have always been there behind the smiling faces. Coronavirus pandemic just expose the cracks, stress, and fragility of the human society. Majority of Canadians and Americans are decent and God fearing people. But I don't see some of these people (both Canadians and Americans) marching for the BLM or other peace protests coming out to protest the Anti- Asians hates.
which is weird because technically the lands don't belong to anyone except the natives. It's ironic because people who are complaining about all of these mirror the same concerns the natives had over incoming colonizers. If you are gonna make a capitalist society, you should expect these things and not complain. It seems like fair game to me.
@@rabbitazteca23 Possession is 9th Tens of the law. White Canadians and Americans will keep the stolen land by law and by force. Some just worry the yellow peril and being over run by Asian nationals/companies.
@@manlouie8783 Yes you are right!
This is truth. Race as a concept has no place in our modern world.
Unfortunately BLM is the opposite of peaceful protests.
No mention of the Canadians policies of the natives americans who were the real victims in there on land
Hi how are you ?? you think immigrating to Canada is fun ?? think again !! I am nearly the fourth generation of Canada ! They told me to provide flight tickets from way before!! Is this humane ? We will make it public thx !
They are playing games with me !! Why are you not releasing my pension ? What is happening ? Where is my pension. I applied for OAS since I was 65 and I am now 68. It has been three years already. CRA and Service Canada are asking me to discuss this from department to department. They are so racist and they are playing games to a senior Chinese Canadian citizen. I immigrated there for fourty years and this is how they treat me ? I will tell everyone and let the media know about this. This is insane. Please help me if possible !!
AGAIN
I am just an ordinary house wife !!
Any Russians in these comments? FYI, you have a shoulder to cry on for when anti-Russian hate goes up, you can turn to me. I am an overseas Chinese. We are brothers and should help one another against the filth that threatens us.

Vancouver has always been over rated as far as culture, tolerance and "best place to live".
I'm half Japanese and Australian.
Speak, read and write English and Japanese.
One night I was out with a few Japanese cousin's and mates, out of the blue two white guys started having a go at us for speaking Japanese and that we're in a country where English is spoken so we should be speaking English only.
My cousin's and mates ignored them, so did I til they said I'm a traitor to my skin colour.
I had it, we got into a fist fight, two against one
Fast forward, both got sent to the ER.
Later on found out one of them is living Ina wheelchair with a tube hooked up to his throat, the other was in the looney hut
Fast forward to now, both committed suicide
@Joe Huff why such a white supremacists?
@Joe Huff so in your typical white supremacists mind, anything anyone says isn't true cause they're not white like you??
It’s your story legit?
how many years did they put you in jail after that?
Look, I agree there’s never any to reason to resort to racial hate or assault.
But we can’t not talk about how Asian people don’t take accountability for how they treat other cultures outside of their own or white people.
I grew up in Vancouver and can honestly say I’ve only experience racism from white and Asian people. ALOT OF ASIAN PEOPLE IN CANADA ARE RACIST AF. again, there’s never any reason to resort to violence but talk about everything man not just the violence.
I live in the US and I completely agree with your comment. I agree that racial hate and assault is not okay but let me tell you, I have experienced the most racism from Asians. I live in the SF Bay Area and I get it, Asians are more successful (in terms of education attainment, good jobs,etc.) than say Blacks or Latinos. However, they treat those groups extremely poorly and are very entitled and just plain rude. Hate is not okay period, but it''s certainly not something limited to just Asians because they're not perfect by any means.
You don’t have to be white robe a racist in Canada. You can also come from China and be a racist
Vancouver is not the most Asian city. It's not.
Expected more from Canada. It such a shame at this time and age this attitude still exist.
What country do you live in?
Canadians are racist. Look at their Prime Minister, PM Blackface.
@@ludwigfox1568 Ironically, I don't think he's nearly as bad as numerous other Canadians. He made a mistake and was too naïve (typical of Canadians) to realize it was an offensively racist act. There are all too many Canadians who are surprisingly openly racists (to the point that many white Americans who go to live there are SHOCKED!). There is nothing subtle or naïve about this variety of Canadian!
Asians getting their wake up call

@@TRLFD also what corruption happens in Japan? lmao. its like one of the least corrupt countries on earth.
@@kayflip2233 you're saying that just because of the stupid asian lives matter propaganda
Chinese are buying real estate...So why are you blaming asian people then? You should blamed the canadians who sold it...These people has a culture of vengeance!!!!!!!
Exactly, either that or the government for letting them in. The Chinese didn't force anyone to do anything. It's just jealousy because most Canadian White people make very little money.
The money from transaction also enter Candian hands. A fact they dont want to talk about. They want to have the cake and eat it too. It's all bs lies to justify, hide and deflect from their obvious racism and cultural entitlement problems.
Who knew?
In Canada, White foreigners = good people. Non-white foreigners = evil cheaters.
Are you surprised Vancouver is the most Asian city outside of Asia?
@HALFAI9329𝟜 OFFTOPIC Are you Asian?
Tell mao
...the Freedom Convey mentality, my guess.
Can't belive Canadian Goverment allowed Rich Chinese people to buy properties, then raise the real state and non of the actual Canadians (who lives in Canada) can afford to buy house anymore specially m/ this generation. This is sad, you can see in downtown most of the rooms are empty..why? Because the owners either from mainland china or Hong kong. Nowadays younger generation will only get a house because its pass on or they're really rich..
cry harder , you should be here anyway. This land belongs to native American show some respect
Richest canadian is Binance founder.. 🤣✌️
I hate Vancouver
Then go back
filipino ganna ruin it for there entitlement and rudeness.
Everyone is the population of the world.
My wife's comment. Why do no people in Vancouver look like you. She is Mexican.
Actually, Mr. Prime Minister, this is EXACTLY who we are as CANADIANS.
Stop being DELUSIONAL.
FACE THE FACTS!
speak for yourself
🤣
Yeah it
I have nothing against Asians. But it all depends on their intentions towards Americans. I totally disagree that America should conform and cater to people from other countries. If you come here learn English and learn the American way period. If Americans go to other countries we learn there culture and way of life to be able to inter act, should be the same across the board period.
I agree. You know they have the US citizenship tests in other languages besides English? When my family came here, they learned English and took their citzenship exam in ENGLISH. It's absurd.
Do you hold your kind to the same standard? Most Asians in the West can speak and are willing to learn English, unlike 99% Westerns who live in foreign countries but can never speak a word of local languages, and zero idea of local cultures. Yet there no reason to treat them badly, despite being from obvious different culture. Bloody bs excuses. Cant hide your bs closet racism. First Hold your own kind to the same ability and before you want others to do so.
How are white and black people treated in Asia?
White people have always been treated like god. If you are a white male then you are guaranteed at least middle class without giving any effort.
pretty damn well, watch the "Black experience Japan" channel for reference. Also I can tell you don't travel much.
@@billhunter3318 lmao Asians look down on middle class lifestyle though.
Good if you have money, class and manner. Not good if just another trash human.

A big problem is that most Chinese and Asians are attracted to the larger metro areas and cities. Get the hell out of there and move to SW Florida. We have MANY Canadians down here who own secondary homes.

It's not really. But when China behaves outrageously on the international stage and Chinese-Canadians don't protest or vocally stand out against the regime and its acute undemocratic abuses but rather choose to attack the Canadian living climate, no wonder. I don't condone it. But where do you stand?

After the pandemic that came from communist China, what did you think was gonna happen?
im surprised for montreal... i live there and i didnt hear much from families or asian friend.. i did live a little bit of racism out of montreal but in montreal, not much, maybe it's im a guy but im really surprised
I think the only place on earth that does not have racism is a country or city that has only one type of race. As long as there are more than one race, the issue of race begins.
Only then, that monoracial city state has its own violence issue - only it is not call racism.
Then the issue is Class, Poverty, you named them.
So long as there are differences in people, there will be issue defined by others.
To be honest globalism is really the cause. Any change is bound to have some violence in it especially in the beginning and near the end. But what can we really do? The new world order we live in is done by the very group on the top today. The 1% that get rich by war, propaganda and hate. The best way is to adapt and retire somewhere nice hopefully with friendly, open minded and non violent people. The less people the better and more safe. If not, a tight knit community that accepts you is your best bet.
so you never heard about the HUTU vs TUTSI conflicts in RWANDA then? how about the antagonism between the SAMI & other FINNISH ppl? how about BASQUE vs CATALONIANS? how about the american civil war? heard about that?
'This is not who we are as canadians' Trudeau has been saying that for over 8 years, thing is, it is still happening.. so.. it appears it IS Who we are. The british and it's colonies have always disliked the chinese
