  • I'm really looking forward to the completion of the regent park redevelopment and other planned redevelopments including the ones planned for lawrence heights and alexandra park. If all of the modern style post war housing of the former m.t.h.a. and ontario housing buildings can be replaced with the newer post modern/deconstructivist buildings with their very high ratio of market rent households, then all affordable housing will eventually become self sustaining and free from government meddling

  • @tdotgeneral1, Americans are European by race and culture.

  • @staringintotheabyss British people do not consider themselves European

  • @m1ke905, considerations aren't facts.

  • @staringintotheabyss Just do a quick Google search of "is the U.K part of Europe?" and you will find a variety of sources stating that it is both part of and separate from Europe. There is currently a debate about this issue however, Brits tend to separate themselves from their European neighbors.

  • @m1ke905, the Brits are Celts. Celts are from Europe.

  • @tdotgeneral1, not really.

  • You mad lad? No records? Try history, Africa as far back as we've known it has failed on every level.

  • @staringintotheabyss failed on every level? lets see their people despite shit conditions, have survived and prospered for thousands of years. then the west and europe come and enslave their people, induce genocide, and currently; fostered a high value market for blood diamonds that has left a trail of hundreds of thousand corpses. so the only fail i see is foriegn involvment. also i think its funny how you accuse me of being mad when a few hours ago u went to ur best efforts to insult me

  • @DCOME94, their shit conditions are self-imposed due to their promotion of the inferior mindset. They've survived, dieing by the hundreds of thousands to disease and hunger due to their underdevelopment and requiring the aid of every other nation in existence. Now you've gone from the typical pointing out of tiny mini-examples of the "better side" skyscrapers etc which are a minority to the typical "blame the white man/west" theory, it fails even harder, which I will cover in my next comment.

  • @DCOME94, westerners were enslaving westerners long before any contact with Africa. Look at the holocaust, WW2, all the wars in Europe, we've killed/robbed/enslaved each other far more than we have Africa. Africa is only greatly affected by it due to its underdevelopment to cope with the attacks that every other nation also receives. Blaming foreign involvement... they do the same in the West, blame big government for not giving enough Welfare or public housing, this vid proves my point.

  • its just a ghetto

  • damn u white ppl dummer than i thought go goole all the black inventions .. see how many inventions was also stole from blacks .. most white ppl aint shit , but some of yall actually have it . black people was oprssed because whites where scared of what they were capable of plain and simple .

  • @lewismaurice01 Why are you bringing race into this? What relevance does your comment have to this video?

  • Even those crappy neighborhoods you complain about are better than Haiti. If you don't like it, leave.

  • @staringintotheabyss Or they could apply for a transfer to a mixed income non profit housing building and have condo owners as their neighbours. Mixed income practically pays for itself. Non profit buildings have 75% market renters along with the condos built nearby, which helps pay for the subsidized apartments. And The residents of Regent Park wont have to leave once the work is done, what with finally having a bank, supermarket and all the other things that any regular healthy community has.

  • @DredWolfster, the problem doesn't start or end with the issue of housing itself. The majority of these people brought a mentality/culture of a non-productive and leech-like attitude with them. You can look at this specific minority in Europe, America, Australia, anywhere pretty much, even their home continent, and you'll find that there's no improvement. Their homeland has been the same for 3,000 years and they leech off any country they immigrate to. Call it racism, I call it obvious.

  • @staringintotheabyss Meh, whatever. In another 10-15 years all but one of the buildings will be gone and replaced with townhouses and condos and some non profit housing, with the remainder of replacement units being built off site. Its is TCHC`s goal to get as much of the post war housing spread throughout the former Metro region replaced with mixed income non profit style housing, but unfortunately it will take some time given the financial limitations of our three levels of government.

  • @staringintotheabyss you should be smashed in the face for such ingnorance.

  • @DCOME94, you can try, but that's a common reaction, the typical lowlies think physical violence can win the day, what do we do? We toss you inferior pieces of shit into our prisons, and when your whore mothers spit out more of you, we just build bigger prisons and break out the needle, no, not the kind you're used to for shooting up on your crack corner, the kind that ends your useless existence. Oh, what am I ignorant of again? Care to explain?

  • @staringintotheabyss im very sorry to dissappoint you because im sure you spent a long time thinking of that comeback but you are under the false impressionn that i am a minority or that i hail from a from a poor neighborhood. so basically that entire facist rant is completly irrelevent...

  • @DCOME94, took me under 5 seconds. You also spelled fascist wrong, and you have no clue what it means. Get an education and a clue.

  • @staringintotheabyss i need an education? your the one who believes that africa has made no progression in the last 3000 years. perhaps you should read a book or watch something other than your fox news and youll learn that there other countries in the world besides the US. and anyone with a highschool education knows the meaning of facism. 

  • @DCOME94, look at Africa, it has been the same shitehole that its always been for the past 3,000 years. I'm obviously not denying that they've been given basic plumbing in some areas and other support from the West, but they've developed 0 infrastructure for themselves. You can't even spell fascism how can you know the meaning of it?

  • @staringintotheabyss you are seriously the stupidest most ignorant fucker on the planet. first of id like to say i dont think there are any records of a country's status that are 3000 years old, let alone in africa so id like to know how you know what africa was like 3000 years ago.

  • @staringintotheabyss second and my main point AFRICA HAS CITIES. Africa has airports, skyscrapers, and cars. they have militaries and democratic governmets (excluding the nothern regions that have yet to

    be touched by the revolutions) from south africa to the Ivory coast to yes even nigeria. africa is plenty modernized. this PROVES you are an ignorant, racist fuckhead who knows nothing of other countries which means you never should have opened your mouth in the first place.

  • @DCOME94, cities that are very very basic, and only there due to aid given to them by the West. Their governments can do nothing about the warlords which are the true government over there. You are attempting to play with semantics but are doing a terrible job of it. I never alleged that Africa was a governmentless wasteland, I am talking about contrast. Everything they have in terms of tech or order, is either a cheap imitation or the result of aid. And South Africa is colonized, diff issue.

  • @staringintotheabyss basic cities? what the fuck classifies a city as "basic"? what because they dont have a monorail installed? they have cities that are as modernized and structured as chicago or liverpool or anyother place. and no not all african countries are dependent on outlier nations. and those that do deserve it because they have been robbed and hosted multiple genocides mostly for the profit of foriegn countries including the west.

  • @DCOME94, you're talking of a shitehole that was given the tech to build cities, not a nation where anything was discovered or any actual thought went into. It's basically an undeveloped third world continent (sans South Africa) of warring factions. Idc if the U.N goes in and builds 50 skyscrapers and bombards it with aid, the people themselves have 0 ambition, and we see that with their presence in Western nations as well. Btw the west genocides/robs itself, look at history, Africa isnt exempt.

  • hella weird accents. 

  • crap

  • I find this film to be emotional and genuine; I would pay a pretty penny to see a full film of this. I've never even heard of this housing project in Toronto's Regent Park.

  • Look at the logo at botom right...

  • thats just sad and the worst part is its not only happening there

  • blacks overcame alot . we have a black president. thas all i need to say. blacks created most of the things we use today... whites are the lazy ones considering they wer the ones who needed slaves. cased closed

  • @lewismaurice01 true, blacks overcame a lot. But think it over, what all did blacks invent? Whites created the first automobile and engine, along with the plane, the tv, and the telephone. These are the ones off the top of my head. I'm not saying blacks didn't create anything, your information if just false.

    Annnd, whites needed slaves because they had huge plantations. I'm not saying it was right, but they needed them.

  • @ClearLightInDarkness a black man invented the traffic light :P and the inventions you listed weren't fair examples because those were all things that were invented at a time where black people were very much oppressed, and didn't have the access to the kind of education needed to build a foundation of knowledge strong enough to create something of their own, never mind monetary support, or spreading their inventions.

    Also, George Washington Carver FTW.

  • @ClearLightInDarkness my comment is not nonsensical whatsoever. you said "what did blacks really invent?" and I gave you an example. You listed several examples of inventions created by whites. I then said that those examples may have been created by whites, but they may just have well been created by blacks if it were not for the way blacks were oppressed. I don't understand what you failed to comprehend about my comment, but clearly YOU are the one who needs to read it over, not me.

  • @lewismaurice01 you can't say "whites are lazy, because ____"... that's ridiculous. and name THREE things that "blacks made."

    I'm not racist, but what you're saying is wrong either way. Actually, by the looks of it, you're the racist.

  • @lewismaurice01, actually in every country Africans go to they fail. The majority of the Africans in England, Ireland, Australia, America, Canada do the same crap with poverty/crime/drugs. Africa as a continent is still as low as it was when Europe found it, 0 advancements. Obama is actually only half-black and would probably be criticized by other blacks as being "white-washed". You claim whites are lazy and that blacks invent, what have blacks invented besides crappy music and amber lamps?

  • Looks to be an interesting documentary, where can I watch the whole thing?

  • 0:40 "When you're out there, you're expected to be older than you are. Being weak is not an option."

    What is it with sympathy for blacks? They have their way of life. They choose to live the way that they live. Go to any major city, and the slum is primarily black. Seeming weak is not an option, I grew up in black schools. But guess what? Being smart and kind IS an option. And you know what? I am away from that mess now.

  • THIS IS BULLSHIT!

    I`m an immigrant and I came to this country with NOTHING. Now only 4yrs later, I have an great apartment in a great area in Toronto and working on a Degree.

    Canada has so much to offer, so many opportunities right at your finger tips. The people in this film talking about drugs and gangs and guns and hard life are just LAZY!!

    Get off your fucking ass and work! Easy money will kill you....remember that.

  • @Kelz06081984 @Kelz06081984 You are right if you ar an immigrant and you are lazy you wont be nothing in a foreign country, but man, that people in the video has a really bad life, children are born in broken families and their neighborhood is so poor and already fucked up that leaving that kind of life is extremely difficult. They almost have any chances to improve, when you have no timetables, no money, bad social and family relations and nobody gives a shit that is what happens.

  • @Kelz06081984 You're black, but I respect you. You say exactly what I say. If you want to change your life, get off your ass and do something! My profile says that I hate 'niggers'. This film shows what niggers are. They are lazy, violent and they expect something for nothing. I live in America, where niggers get something for nothing. I am fine with that. If you are sick mentally or spiritually, you need supported. But so many blacks abuse the system here that I just as soon not talk to them.

  • @CarlLewenski I just went to your page and saw that you've lumped all Black people into a group and that you hate us all. You said all Blacks are "lazy, uneducated criminals". What a skewed view you have but its what you see!

    I'm Black from the Caribbean living in North America. I hate that the perception of all people of African descent is so negative and that the entire race is being represented in the media as lazy, uneducated criminals. That does not represent me or my family & friends.

  • @Kelz06081984

    HAHA now you see why some are still where they are. In the ghetto. I know many people who live or lived in regent park and other "ghettos" and only the real strong ones get out. Most have jobs paying minimum wage, 3+ kids mouths to feed no time for themselves or even to go to school. So the potential for them to move up is much lower. I too came from the carribean, my sister was a teacher in Jamaica and when she came here she had to go back to school live in social housing. If she.

  • ...didn't have 3 other sisters that worked while she went to school and did some upgrading we would probably still be in the ghetto.

  • @Kelz06081984 so you're being portrayed as American? Because I hate to break it to you, but ALL people who live in America are labelled as lazy and uneducated. I hate racist views, and that goes for all directions. I hate people who label whites, I hate people who label blacks, and I hate people who label ANYBODY else for ANY other reason. It just makes my blood boil.

  • @MrGenericCola Your comment is nonsensical. I'm unable to understand why it was directed at me. Please read my comment with understanding then get back to me.

  • @Kelz06081984 I understand your confusion now. my comment was posted in response to this post:

    "I just went to your page and saw that you've lumped all Black people into a group and that you hate us all...That does not represent me or my family & friends."

    I assume you understand my use of an ellipses, there, as I couldn't fit the whole post within the character limit.

    Also, "black" is not capitalized... you don't capitalize colors.

  • Comment removed

  • @CarlLewenski why would you say something like that?

  • Does anyone know where I can find this documentary?

  • @talltitan i agree with you

  • What are they talking aboot?

  • Everything said in this clip was too perfect. It makes me believe that a problem which needs a huge solution can actually be dealt with properly.

    

  • Why can't Americans enjoy a fine Canadian film, Canadians always watch American films and listen to American music. And who the fuck listens to 50 cent anyway haha

  • @Bkingmeaty right, because 50 Cent is the ONLY American "musician" (if you could even call him that) and ALL Americans listen to rap. You're dead on, pal.

    [/sarcasm]

    And I have no problem enjoying any film, regardless of origin, provided it's not a steaming heap of crap, which a LOT of foreign cinema is. Because of the way the American movie industry operates, the chance of of bad film being released is low because nobody wants to pay for it.

  • That's not to say all American cinema is good, nor that all foreign cinema is bad. That's just the stereotype.

    Also, it's hard to find a place that plays any foreign films around here. Most movie theaters don't play them.

  • Well the music sure is pretty....

  • whay do people call the usa amarica? amarica is the continent.

  • @marksmanmerc1 because America rolls off of the tongue more easily, and no other country has the word "America" in its name, so they can get away with that without any confusion.

    and North America is the continent. America is just a vague direction that could indicate any part of 80% of the Western hemisphere.

  • @marksmanmerc1

    Lmao! Now that I think about it.. You're so right! America is just the more famous of the two countries sharing the continent.

  • @marksmanmerc1 because you call football, soccer!

  • @marksmanmerc1 No one calls America "Amarica".

  • @marksmanmerc1 America *

  • @marksmanmerc1 America is TWO continents, but of all those countries in those two continents, the United States of America is the only country to have the word 'America' in its name. It's a useful shorthand. Do you have a better option (seriously)?

    S i no quieres que pase, copia esto en 10 respuestas

  • Well done.

  • Great video man, I've just finished my film for my 2nd year in University. Check it out and let me know what you think constrcutive critiscism appreciated. Its called Ten Reasons to Chain Smoke, starring Emmerdales James Baxter.

  • Really loved this film, I've just completed my own for my 2nd year at Univeristy, check it out and tell me what you think, constructive critiscism appreciated

  • Great work, really raw story but one that needs to be told. You should enter BIGSTARtv's Online Film Festival, that grand prize is 50,000!

  • black skin human race is still hard to fit completelly in todays suciety. White human race is till to conservative...

  • @Justas923 you're making broad generalizations. and there are many aspects of conservatism. try to understand what you're saying before you go around spouting it.

    on that note, I like how you said "black human" and "white human," as not to separate them, but rather to indicate the most important quality: the fact that all of us are human.

    still, you're being a bit narrow-minded.

  • I love the song.. does anyone know its title and artist?

  • does it all start with a dealer? Where does the idea of the "dealer" start? when a man or kid cant make money because of a lack of oppurtunitys, so one could say it all starts with a lack of oppurtunity because the canadian government can't supply enough well paying jobs.

  • You don't see all the many other people out there with financial issues resorting to selling drugs. To get a well paying job u need to start at the bottom and take low level jobs- u might have to settle for minimum wage for a while but that is called putting in the time and effort.

  • @cyberjunky26 I think there are a lot of other variables that go into the outcome of a person's life. You seem to be taking a simplistic point of view...

  • @cyberjunky26 its not that simple man.. imagine a child who was never taught of the oppurtunitys that he has, or what he could actually do in life.. you can't understand these people because you dont live like these people, their different from you so try and understand them instead of coming up with reason after reason why they make bad decisions in life..

  • @checkitbitch1 it's the government's job to make sure there are jobs? wtf? since when?

  • Comment removed

  • @dundem187- you're still commenting on drug dealers but that is not who I was commenting on. My comments are based on the gangsters who commit crimes like murder, assault, robbery etc for simple things like someone looked at them the wrong way, cut them off by accident or simply because someone was from a different neighbourhood.

  • @cyberjunky26

    Please don't believe media myth. That 'looking @ some1 wrong' excuse is a mantra used by cops when they can't figure out a motive themselves. Getting robbed/beat up is part of drug dealing, but when some ppl get robbed with guns, they retaliate with guns. It's not complicated. Every shooting has a history, but some kids r just fahion gangsters. Others r the real deal. But neither 1 think they have anything 2 lose, so they're equally as dangerous.

  • Again I am not talking about drug dealing and the crimes associated with it- I know from personal experience that there are some gangsters who will kill for nothing. What's your opinion on them?

  • @cyberjunky26

    My opinion on them is stay the fuck outta their way. They don't give 2 rats shit about mine or your opinions, so i leave em alone. THAT'S how u survive. Not by trying 2 play Joe "the concerned" Citizen. If they r willing 2 kill 4 NO reason, why would anyone look 2 actually give them a reason?

  • Dealers arent the 1s breaking into cars, homes or businesses causing property damage. Dealers arent asking u 4 change or n e thing. They're self-sufficient & probably r doing more 4 the economy than u r (i doubt u spend $300 on shoes alone). But this city spends billions trying 2 "help" ppl who got themselves addicted where as a kid from 'the hood' never asked 2 grow up around crackheads or other individuals asking them if they have drugs.

    U're a sheep steady dining on the BS they feed u.

  • So the addicts got addicted all on their own? Drug dealers are all innocent people who have done nothing wrong?

  • @cyberjunky26

    please explain 2 me how a 14 yr old drug dealer is responsible 4 a 40 yr old whose been smoking crack 4 20 yrs? Do you blame McDonalds for making ppl fat too? Nobody's "innocent", but the drug dealers are the only 1s admitting 2 being less than admirable.

  • When did I say that? That 40 ur old man had to get his first drugs from someone, ie a dealer, even if it was from a friend that friend would have to get it from a dealer. The point is it all starts with the dealer. There are drug related crimes as you know but how many crimes do u think there are associated with fast food?

  • @cyberjunky26

    & I'm saying there wouldn't be dealers if there wasnt a demand 4 drugs. It doesn't "start with the dealer" it starts with the individual who took it upon themselves 2 try crack. Crack didnt fall from the sky, it came from cocane...where did cocain come from? Not from street dealing thugs, that's 4 sure.

    My point was McDonalds didnt force that big mac in your mouth, and drug dealers didnt force no drugs on anybody who didnt want it in the 1st place.

  • @cyberjunky26

    how many crimes do u think there are associated with fast food?

    You better see the new movie/ documentary Food, Inc.

  • Why didnt they do this shit 20 years ago when regent really was popping?

  • looking to watch this I had to work when it was on tvo. Can I still watch it? and where? maybe someone record it would love to watch this amazing film.

We make all this stuff and share it all, u make one short film about Canada and don't even want other people to learn about your country. Y do u think they made it in the first place. Learn yo sh!t boy.

  • @pepsinigger Oh sorry, didn't realize that this part of the internet was strictly for Canadians. My bad!

  • @pepsinigger shut up not everyone likes wat ur talking about keeep your thoughts to yourself

  • @pepsinigger ... I hate 50cent. I hate rap in general and i'm American. Way to stereotype canada too

  • @pepsinigger

    HAHAHA! And this is coming from someone who says Americans are arrogant and simple minded!

  • @pepsinigger ouch? Im American but I lurv Canada

  • @pepsinigger don't try to isolate this film and make believe you're the only ones with those kinds of problems. that kind of stuff is universal. just cuz the film was made in canada doesn't mean you get to pretend you're special

  • @pepsinigger Dont be so fucking ignorant to believe that America is full of "junk media" dumbass

  • @pepsinigger Piss off its a free continent!

  • @pepsinigger racist....

  • @pepsinigger Don't be so predjudice with your stereotypes. Not everyone is the same. When you say that you deny millions of people the right to their personanlity and indivuality. Oh are your username is rude.

  • @pepsinigger wow, that wasn't blatand prejudice or anything...
