Yes—Canada has anti-Black racism, too – Everything Law and Order Blog

To the uninitiated, Canada may have a reputation for friendly and folksy charm. For Black and Indigenous peoples of the ‘Great White North,’ this veneer belies a white supremacy as vicious as anywhere else. Since 2020, Black Class Action Secretariat has fought to take the federal government to task for rampant and systemic discrimination. The class action lawsuit seeks damages of $2.5 billion. Nicholas Marcus Thompson joins The Real News for a far-ranging discussion on the long history of anti-Black racism in Canada, as well as the efforts of Black Class Action to affect change through organization.

Nicholas Marcus Thompson is a Trinidadian-Canadian social justice advocate and union leader.

  1. Yes i am a student in canada and studying scm in conestoga college. My project coordinator bryan snage has booked case against me for using my mobile hotspot for writing daily quiz under cheating case. Also i have requested for diifernt class time to support my work but he always push me down wards and in one exam he came to my professor and said keep on this idiot

  2. I bet blacks dominate fatherless homes and crime stats like they do everywhere

    The real Jews network is hilarious😂

  3. I have a number of friends who work in the CRA, PWGSC, DFAIT, and a few other Federal agencies, and I've had conversations with them about hiring practices. The notion that you're (italics) denied (italics ended) opportunities because you're a person of colour is false. On the contrary, you're encouraged to apply. Every Federal Department (along with Provincial Ministerial, and Municipal groups at the City level) are tripping over themselves to find POC to fill open posts.
    There's obviously racism here, because there's racism in every country on Earth, but the Federal Government?!! No. Sorry, this is false.
    Dude going back to World War One, 1600?!!? Joke.

  4. There is no doubt there's racism in canada, but if you keep ignoring the racism against white people, you're never going to eliminate racism against non-white people! Before you blow your lid go take a look in Toronto international Airport and of the thousands of people who work there i challenge you to find one single white face! Now go and tell me there's no discrimination against whites. You can repeat this throughout the many factories around GTA and beyond. I see as a truck driver factory after factory it a single white worker! Now go and tell me there's no racism against whites. I could go on and on, but my point is that if you want white community to accept you, you have to acknowledge that we are the subject of discrimination as well!

  5. Canada needs immigrants if employers don't higher people mey be because they don't qualify for the job they're applying for what more can I say about this matter

  6. Thank you again for covering Canadian issues, we really don't get this kind of coverage here

  7. come to settle on a European continent with native peoples what can they wait? better work for your countries of origin, we have problems in the region, we should not be receiving foreign people, if they do not feel well, it is your problem for making the decision to come to America!

  8. Please read James Hart Stern's book I'm proud of being a part of that project. Policing has been the new slavery tool 🔥 🔥 Usa now it's become the world police we must disband the illegal Constitution, prison complex, military-industrial, complex, data collecting for sale for the highest bidder. weaponizing every sector that they can. Bullying other countries, Double standard, lecturing other countries disrespectfully to their face 👀 just debt and oppression system. No respect for life. Where is black people's reparations? Sense you're talkin human right to China and Africa and other nations.

  9. Now, I'm 44. When I was 23, I was employed by Agriculture Agri-food Canada in Nova Scotia. My mentor treated me so poorly that I quit. I did not want to, but to be placed in an office all day never being demonstrated how to do the job, and only asked to fax papers, I had to leave. Aside from that, being ignored purposely, called names, and trying to avoid traps made my job very stressful. Only men in office would be called derogatory names, or disrespected in front of their coworkers. My mentor would avoid me daily and try to trap me. Being the only Black person in that department and building was uncomfortable. I did not know how to handle that situation, which was a clearly racist and sexist environment. I pray that other young people never have to be in the situations I have experienced in NS.

  10. This guy knows nothing about racism in Canada . I can hear his accent that indicates he's new to Canada . The maternal side of my family immigrated from the Southern U.S. in the early 1870's , to Southern Ontario Canada , as newly freed people .They were amongst the first black settlers in Southern , Ontario . They faced real racism . Yet still , my white grandfather married my black grandmother in the early 1940's . In a small town in Ontario , even . The same goes for my white father who married my black mother in 1964 .So yes there was discrimination in Canada and my family faced alot of it but not nowadays and obviously not amongst everybody . If my mother or grandmother were still alive they would not think highly of this man at all !

  11. the perception thing is a common bs excuse even used by Black professionals towards young Black grads looking to get into a decent position, not digging trenches. They'll say oh it's your perception, digging trenches is great and you'll move up to an office "some day".

  12. This isn't New for CANADA🇨🇦. It HAS ALWAYS did what AMERICA 🇺🇸( has DONE to BLACK PEOPLE and INDIGENOUS PEOPLE of the LAND). (CANADA 🇨🇦 is AMERICA 🇺🇸 AMERICA 🇺🇸 is CANADA 🇨🇦). On PURPOSE, a GREAT COVER UP for WHITE PEOPLE ONLY!😮NOT MANY DARK SKIN LIVE in CANADA and HAVE OWNERSHIP of HOUSING JOBS and LAND. JUST LIKE AMERICA 🇺🇸!

  13. Canada 🇨🇦 has always been Racist to DARK SKIN PEOPLE and the WORLD. 🙄 CANADA 🇨🇦 is the COUSIN and FAMILY of AMERICA 🇺🇸 from the BEGINNING the SAME. CANADA 🇨🇦 IS THE PLACE OF THE WHITE RACIST SUPREMACY PEOPLE OF RICH AMERICA BLOOD! THE SAME for Over 💯 year😮BLACK RACISM 🌎 STILL TODAY!

  14. Native's I know say it is 1k's times worse than the world knows. They come up missing all the time. Medical, you name it they suffer it.

  15. Canada just had a bad fire,ot traveled all the way to nyc,who went to go help them, black Africans,no whites went to help,this is why black people got stop saving white people, they hate us,and just as racist,let them suffer and blavk people mind your business period, if it's not about black people, let the rest burn,

  16. Honestly, none of this information surprises me. This is how white people operate all over the world. I have yet to see an exception.
    Canadians are no different than their cousins south of the border. They can continue their lip service about being inclusive, but your actions will have to follow.

  17. Respectfully you're way behind the curve my brother, so called Black people are Indigenous to North America how is it you don't know at this time? Those of us in America understand that " we have no friends or allies" It's just God and us. Fredrick Douglass was on this in the early 19th century?

    Christopher ( stumblelombus ) Columbus stated in his diary that Africans know a way to this part of the world via around the doldrums!

    You have artifacts of so called Black folks all over North America but they won't teach you that in school because their history is filled with lies and they're willing to die for them. How much more should we for the truth?

    There's good and there's evil in the world pick a side and stand on it nobody likes Luke warm, especially God! We understand all White folks are bad but far to many to ignore. Canada has systemic racism, no ish it's world wide including Africa!

    Stay woke but not their bastardized version of it our version ( be alert of your surroundings and aware of who's around you because there are those who wish you harm and willing to sacrifice themselves fo their delusional beliefs and sick ideology! )

    One love!

  18. Western Civilization is one and the same as White Supremacy and Canada like the US is part of that construct which will be destroyed from within just like in the US.

  19. Xenophobia!!! Astronomical facts . And the diasporas play a significant role in the economy because most Canadian are lazy and live mainly by government welfare .

  20. This man doesn't know nothing about Canadian history, Canada was the first Country in the world to abolish slavery, guess this guy doesn't know about the underground railway, why would anyone give this race baiting marxist a platform

  21. I will be so happy when WHITES find out the TRUTH about white and how it was created. White people have no idea regarding the truth.

  22. Are we here in America looking in a mirror! Black people do we see the reflection!!!🎉🎉🎉Same soup different bowl!!! We have to reach across these imaginary boarders and work with our Black people in Canada & the Diaspora. Why do you think they dropped another racial group in NYC and Chicago!? To keep their WS divide & conquer going! We can eradicate this mess called WS! WS is on its death bed🎉 It will not work if we come together 🎉🎉🎉 Time to wake up and come out of this WS pathology! This young man from Canada is opening up the portal for us to walk through!!! WE have got to come out of this WS folly! Power is being transferred if we are ready! Are we ready?! We can and will win🎉🎉🎉

  23. The left lives for racial divide. It’s the only cancer in society that they want to nurture and grow. Even with efforts to put it down have both whites and blacks in agreement. Did you know the next Republican candidate for President will be a racist. We don’t need to know the name the media will let us know their a racist as soon as THEY find out their name. They won’t even need to be a racist at all prior to running. No worries the media won’t let that stop’em.
