being Canadian - our conversation with Roberto from Mexico

[nemesis962074]

I hate people who talk shit on Canada, like how they make it look like a poor little brother of the almighty USA, when in reality its the second most powerful nation in the world. 

[ConquerorOfLulz]

@nemesis962074 Canada isn't the most powerful country in the world. Canada would get its ass kicked by even Mexico. Hell, I would like to see China kick your ass. Canada is a shit stain. BTW, I'm a Mexican.

[nemesis962074]

@ConquerorOfLulz I said second, and I'm a Mexican too, maybe you don't know this but Canada is one of the original G8 and it could beat most countries in war.

[nemesis962074]

@ConquerorOfLulz Dude don't fool your self, Mexico couldn't survive in a war against Canada, I'm Mexican but at least I know the limits of my nation. Canada is probably the fifth most powerful country in the world.

[ConquerorOfLulz]

@nemesis962074 Lol, couldn't survive in a war against canada? That's the funniest joke I've seen in a while. I bet the canuck military can't even take on the drug cartels. Also, most of their military budget is financed by the US military. That's fucking sad.

[nemesis962074]

@ConquerorOfLulz Yet they have the second best economy in the world, better than France or UK, but you are saying that Mexico(a third world country) can take on Canada, weird....

[ConquerorOfLulz]

@nemesis962074 Canada's military isn't very large. And Mexican soldiers are crazed. They will DESTROY them in battle. Japan has a better economy than Canada, so does the US. Canada's also in debt to the US and China.

[nemesis962074]

@ConquerorOfLulz It's obvious that you don't know crap about Canada, so I will just drop this.

[nemesis962074]

@ConquerorOfLulz Which country do you think would win in a war? a third world country that has a weak unorganized government that can't keep control over it's citizens, or a first world nation that has a stable economy and large population?

[ConquerorOfLulz]

@nemesis962074 Actually, the canuck population isn't very large. Hell, one US state has more people than the entire country of fagada. And Mexicans are use to harsh conditions, and could defeat fagada's spoiled troops. And here's an example: The US is a first world country and has a huge military, yet the Vietnamese managed to actually provide a huge challenge. Mexicans can do something similar. And canucks can't even handle weather above freezing.

[ElCarnicero91]

He said culiacan is nice...people get shot there everyday!

[omgymydoggied]

@ElCarnicero91 yea cuidad juarez is really nice only 4 dead peaple per minute

[froget86]

hahahaha his english is killing me!

[sweetbean1000]

I think his question was valid? There are places in Mexico where internet is not too common. If this guy was making fun the Mexican guy it was pretty low, but I don't think he was since his other videos show his trip to Puerto Vallarta.

[123cuco]

poor guy, he donst realize they are making fun of him... el pendejete que grabo el video es un Idiota ignorante.... que si tenemos computadoras? porfavor!! imbecil...!

[mertozdogan]

i dont think they were makin fun of him..

[mangotwiss]

Video guy: ?Do they have internet around?

Geez.. ...No.."wey" we live in caves, we don't even know what a Computer is...Jesus Christ!!! What a question! get out besides your county...

I must tell how nice coming from him, invite you to his house, we are like that.

he doesn't even know you well and he is telling you to go there..nice!

ARRIBA RAZA LATINA!

[ramonsangriento2]

este wey habla el ingles mas cagado.

[arlorom]

Este cuate habla el ingles asi porque toda su vida ha vivido en Mexico y tiene el derecho de hablar asi, en comparacion a los que no pueden dejar de hablar spanglish, ni español y ni ingles. Es facil morder a los demas sin verse la cola.

[chr1so]

lots of damage to Canadian image from now, wondering my self how many of these asylum requests were from Homosexuals? in Mexico there are no civil rights for homosexuals when they travel to Canada and see so much freedom they want to stay. would like to know.

[lorenzolagarto0410]

Es mi paisano, pero se mira medio... GAY. saludos

[tvdementetv]

Hay muchas maneras de ser racista sin tener que usar un capirote del Klan.

[tvdementetv]

Mexican courious!!!

-do you have computer around where you live? ask the withie. Stupid ignorant!!! Not just in Canada exist tenchnology you moron!

-My mom is a retiremen teacher

and the withie reaction was: Oooohhh!!! like is amazing that you can have a mother that was a teacher.

[yuca27]

Hi, my friend, i'm from Mexico, thank you for post the way of thinking the persons about Mexico and Canada. You Canadians are very friendly.

[maximus0032]

Finally, some Facts please:

First, canadians make up just 5% of foreign arrivals in mexico. that's next to nothing. sorry, but that is true. Out of 20+ millions arrivals each year 1.3 are canadians. Significant proportion, but not relevant to the overall picture.

Second: Mexico does not depend on tourism alone to survive. Tourist itself in Mexico only contributes 7% of the total GDP.

[maximus0032]

According to Canadian stats, last year alone therer were 9,400 refugee claimants out of 270,000 mexicans that enter canada. This means that out of those 270,000 individuals, 260,600 people were actually tourists, business people and student exchange which according to economists they(mexicans) left a sum close to 300,000 million dollars in the canadian society. With these visa rewuirement thing, dont expect all mexicans wishing to go to canada. After all, there are more places to go.

[maximus0032]

I think the Canadian Government shot itself in the foot by trying to cover one hole and creating others. First of all, Canada has the right to impose visas on whomever they wish. However, if that is to be applied it must be done with time notice. When the canadian government gave a few hours notice for mexicans to enter canada they did not care for the mexican tourists, students and business people that were ready to enter canada. This was seen by Mexicans as a slap in the face.

[rodargentino]

this guy is paying english classes in a foreinger country.... people like the stupid canadian man in this video have no concept of how life is in different countries. Buddy move your ass a bit more, you need it believe me.

[nakawick]

he said "do you have internet around and computers where YOU live, he did not say "does mexico have computers"

[rodargentino]

I dont believe it he really asked him if they have internet and computers....mexican guy was being SO NICE trying to explain them everything in english, and suddently this stupid white-ass goes with something like that! I've never been 2 mexico but I already know they have ADSL & PCs....

[tvdementetv]

Entre los canadienses blancos hay muchos que sin ser groseros, llegan a ser sumamente RACISTAS con los extranjeros. Posiblmente no es por mala intención sino que simplemente son ESTUPIDOS!

[komoriaimi]

Tienen internet??! NO! ANDAMOS EN BURRO Y TODOS VIVIMOS EN JACALES VESTIDOS DE CHINAS POBLANAS!

Seguro gente pendeja y redneck como estos son los que votan por el Mini George Bush Jr. que tienen por primer ministro.

[KoolCanadian29]

@komoriaimi I understand some spanish. I know not all Mexicans go on a burro. My family and I went to Mexico City and it was awesome.!

[ramonsangriento2]

ahaha and shoes dont forget!

[izquierdamoderna1]

do you have computers where you live , fucking ignorant,,,,,,,,,,,,,? do canadiens live in iglus ? is the fucking same

[nakawick]

I think the visa for Mexicans is temporary, until the conservatives can change the refugee laws that the wacky liberals created.

[Comedianpod]

I realy do hope so, I see Canada as a very cool country and in good ways different to the USA wich I realy liked but this just shocked me. Like I do know that there are some mexicans that are taking advantage of your system and that is I think wrong...but other masure should have been taken instead of that which affects every single mexican national and can also affect your tourism

A real theme to debate ;-)

[komoriaimi]

Income tax was temporary too.

[temo19]

been there done that ya estube 4 veces en canada bonito pais pero me regrese a mi mexico lindo y querido.

[bravox4u]

with all due rispect you gotta improve your english.

[elkioskomagazine]

that's the point bravox4u, that's why he is in a ESL school in Canada. Try yourself to speak in another language and you'll sound pretty much the same... :Op

[tvdementetv]

There you have a tipical hipocritical racist from canada!

[chr1so]

Most of Mexicans are this way when we visit other countries offering our house as yours is very common, is an act of humble and it means as I am welcome in your house u are welcome in mine. So even if the Canadian government did impose a visa to Mexicans which takes us totally by surprise, Canadians are still welcome, Although I agree in imposing visas to Diplomats, officers and business man to enter Mexico.

[JCVdude]

We are all brothers and sisters no matter if you believe the Bible or science, the Canadian Government under Harper and the conservatives does many things that come as a surprise.

[chr1so]

yeah man we are kind of in shock, Canada was considered by most of Mexicans as a bother country, kind of hard to deal with the USA policies with u guys out of the table, this last hit makes the Mexican people think if this has change, 'cause I understand that those that take advantage of a kind policy should be punish, this decision is punishing and giving a sign that we are all rejected by the Canadian government.

[tvdementetv]

Now thanks to the CONSERVATIVE Canadian goverment, CANADA is very as the United States.

There is a lot of a hipocritical actitude in canadians trying to being "nice persons" but, as the voices in the video there are discriminatories, ignorants and making stupids questions.

[tvdementetv]

Well, the sins of the fathers... will be pay by the children!

[chr1so]

@JCVdude The same here with the conservative administrations, Fox did impose a visa to Brazilians and they did it back which I approved, their reciprocity law is fine. In the meanwhile we are so tide with the NAFTA treat that I cant visit Canada till the visa gets removed, I am sure it is an amazing country and hope I can come someday.

[tvdementetv]

Well, I am living her ein México now, and there is not the same perspective of the canadians after there goverment impose the discriminatory visa. Of course not all canadians are stupids, and no all canadians makes stupid questions, but... after the "visa imposition" the image for canadians will be different here in México.

[komoriaimi]

Mexicans had such a good image of Canadians and Canada until now. I know as a fact not everyone is the same in Canada, still this has been a low blow and extremely unexpected on the Canadian government side.

Definitively this damages Canadian image a lot. Hopefully not to a point of no repair.

[Robis2349]

How does this damage the Canadian image? The Canadian refugee system is/was being greatly abused, specifically by false claims. What would you expect the Canadian Govn't to do?

Unfortunatly Mexican tourists, and legitimate refugees will be caught in the middle of this.

Most Canadian citizens were in favour of this move as a recent poll has indicated.

[komoriaimi]

In the end this will pass and Mexican people will have to get a visa no matter how much we QQ about it or not. But when all that's behind... An insult is like a good haiku, it can be ignored, forgiven, disregarded, but it can never be forgotten.

[Dicktaa]

Might make people think twice of visiting Canada in case they decide to give 48 hours notice for a visa.

[Robis2349]

good point

[nakawick]

What if on average 11,000 Canadians were claiming refugee status in Mexico each year and you as a Mexican tax payer had to pay for it? Would that hurt the image you have of Canada?

[nakawick]

please back up your statement with facts. Crying about racism shows your lack of understanding, and the fact that your single out whites shows that you are the racist my friend.

[Robis2349]

Crying racism is usually the approach that people take who for whatever reason fail to fully understand the Canadian point of view in this situation.

I was hoping it wouldn't come to that.. Seems fairly standard in Canada.

If Canada put Visa's on western Europeans, would they play the racist card as well?

[eddengalf]

Robis2349, that's a tricky one!

I don't think they would be playing the racist card but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be playing any cards at all.

What would you think if the western europeans were the ones asking you for a visa? Which is also a hypothetical question because I doubt they'll support Czech Republic.

[KoolCanadian29]

@chr1so Thanks! youre welcome to Canada too.!

[chr1so]

@KoolCanadian29 hehe I am sure lots of Canadian friends I have welcome me, but inmigration officers dont so cant visit Canada till the visa require gets removed, hope I can meet Canada someday. Thanks you my friend you are welcome to Mexico too, maybe just wait till Calderon left the building and drugs wars ends.

[calerometra]

not the are not welcome ..

[GamingDude12]
