It is sad, but kindness is often regarded as weakness by others.
we must respect and help another human of course. but the elephant in the room is this - does canada have a border or not? do we accept anyone who comes to our border and say they want to live here? to this my opinion is no.... of course not.
I am Somali American i love and admire Canadians for their kindness and tolerance GOD BLESS CANADA
you are a refugee you have to go back sooner or later
You're not an American your title is Just what nationality is period. All immigrant And invaders illegals Get The Hell Out Your destroy My country And My home. . we' not responsible for you. . Get Out. .
Give the young man a mug of hot tea-just looking at him makes me feel chilled
I can’t imagine what that man is going through. He doesn’t know where he is and doesn’t know if he crossed the border. He has nowhere to go.
Home
Home is where the heart is. We are all on earth. We need to be kind to each other and offer refuge to those whose life is in danger.
It's really nice to see so many comments of praise. Not all Canadians here are so welcoming and compassionate. Lots believe they should be turned away. Thanks for all your kind words and blessings
I'm grateful to live in a country that will aid those who are struggling for a better life. Anyone who would fight that hard to get here from halfway around the world will make a proud, strong Canadian.
If he doesn't have a criminal record? LMAO how the hell would you know
if he doesn't even have documents to prove his identity. So you don't
even know if he is a criminal or not.
From what i learned, anyone
in the world can just cross the border to Canada illegally, say they are
injured, get free health care and live on welfare for the rest of their
life while Canadian taxpayers have to pay for all of it? I wonder why
he didn't go south of the border to Mexico instead , where the
government doesn't give weIfare ,
hmmmm
A refugee is someone fleeing a country of war. Obviously, this man is crossing the border from America to Canada. Last I checked, America isn't a war-torn country. He is already in a safe place, fleeing from the States doesn't make you a refugee.
***** When was Venezuela great?
Squid Ward If you're going to argue from the position of "the dictionary says this" you might want to actually check the dictionary first.
We are extremely fortunate to live here, and I am beyond happy to share this land with people who need to find home. Refugees fleeing war torn countries, and now, fleeing a country which will send them straight back there, are coming to us as a last hope for a new life. And when we offer it to them, and welcome them, our economy grows and we all benefit. When we took in the 50,000 Vietnamese in the late 70's/early 80's, we gained a bolstered community of doctors, lawyers, and teachers. And now, those very communities are helping pay it forward by personally sponsoring Syrian refugees. And even our newest refugees and embraced the Canadian way and raised money, some donating their entire, meagre monthly allowance, to help the survivors of the Fort McMurray fires.
Our country is growing. Growing stronger, kinder, more diverse, and more understanding. In the face of government-driven terror in our southern neighbours, many people believe in the unfounded lies that strangers will try to harm us and our way of life. But the proof is in the reality of welcoming refugees; we are here to help them, and they are here to help us.
I am proud to be an example to the world that kindness can make you stronger, not weaker and more vulnerable.
Anyone who disagrees with immigration and refugees should get on a ship back to Europe and leave the land to the original owners; the First Nations. If you don't, you have no right to claim that anyone else should leave.
Canada my god bless. The mother of humanity
mohammedamin abdythahir Yeah right ☠️
Who says that?, there are hateful individuals in every society. I acknowledged that
LadyAmaltheaUnicorn I love Canadian and I will greet em wherever I meet em, so sorry u can't change that.
LadyAmaltheaUnicorn, are you an indigenous Canadian? No? Then your family came here from somewhere else and made a life here. So, kindly, shut your mouth.
Mohammed, thank you for your kind words. This ignorant person does not speak for my country.
LadyAmaltheaUnicorn: "Unclaimed" land? Soooo... the people that lived here don't count to you, apparently. Your comments make it obvious you're either a white supremacist or a troll.
Great respect to canada for treating humans like humans
Yeah but it's illegal process. And not fair for people who undergoes strict process of immigrating to Canada.
@@Andi-fk8vs humanity is everything
@@HishamOmarMikidadi As long as it does not cost you anything. Not to mention spreading Islam as the Somalian guy belongs there. I understand your hypocritical comment after all. It's a pity it isn't true in Islamic countries.
ya why have rules n borders if we televise that breaking the rules is greeted with a smile. just fire all our border employees n security screening n when their war arrive on our soil n ur family is in danger..u go to the front line ok. Cause Canada wouldnt let police and border worker do their job ..are u gonna ask them to help later
Few thousand before JUSTIN opened his yap”
Do some research before ya try n defend anything..
There’s busloads every hour ..
can they stay with u ..
Out of 100 there’s three woman and 5 children , so again welcome them to ur ADT protected home
Glad you found him. He would have died out there ☹️
I hope he’s ok now 😣
We need a better system.
@@nickbrown6553 Thats an evil thing to say. I'm not for illegal immigration, but to like a human being dying is just horrible.
Hockey snipes 365 am I evil ? Yes, I am, I am
Bruh it’s staged lmao.
It is so heartbreaking to see African’s going through so much pain to find peace, sanity & earn a living... God bless Africa & it’s children. My prayer for Canada 🇨🇦 is that it may never run out, never lack. May it prosper for all eternity.
Amen
Advice them to stop these perilous journeys, it's slave mentality.
To all African people..STOP breeding
This is like what happened with the Mexican boarder just a lot more people
you have to go back
Thank you! Someone with common sense. He is staying in America, he didn't flee from Syria or Iraq, but from America, he's an illegal.
Its not that easy for people from the banned countries to stay in America
Canada 🇨🇦 what a kind, caring, compassionate country to everybody. We were refugee's in Canada in 1986 fleeing our homeland. Will never Ever forget how Canada and it's people gave us safety and peaceful shelter. Canada gave us a new life, a life to look forward to. We became something in life. All thanks to Canada and it's compassionate people. Thank you Canada 🇨🇦♥️🐿️
that was really hard to look at, my heart goes out to these people that have no were else to go
I cried seeing this.... these people are so desperate. All they want is peace and openness. Welcome to Canada.
Hello
YES WELLCOME TO CANADA CANADA IS MADE UP OF PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE ENTIRE WORLD .
and who was following him ? CNN?
Hahahahaha right?
This is probably a skit
CBC...can't ya see?
What kind of border is this?!?! you can just walk across?? wtf!!
How
Yeah you can, but it’s still patrolled
They get health care faster then a Canadian
@@Teri.D As a treaty Canadian who has had many medical tests and appointments in the last two years that should not have taken that long:
Good, Im glad they get better care.
since when is it a good idea blaming someone for better treatment instead of advocating for everyone to get that same care?
Crabs in the bucket syndrom. "If I cant have, you cant either!"
rai rai start paying taxes as we the Canadians do..... it is then that you will deserve better healthcare than the
long time contributes.
I m thankfull to you for this kindness that u help that guy, u man are so awesome
Thanks for helping him. Just next time you should clearly explain they’re in Canada and that they’re not going to be immediately deported. And Immediately put them in the car. His eyelashes were frozen.
So proud that Canada respectfully and compassionately recieved this man to l8sten to his case for asylum .
Canadians are really so great. Our Somali guy raising his hands thinking he was caught by the American Police. Little he knew about he was in Canada. God bless Canada, both its government and people.
This isn't a refugee. This is a migrant and the first thing this person did in this country is break the law.
deport.

This made me cry!!! So inspiring as well. Want to see more. Sending love from Egypt to Canada ❤️
حب ايه اللي بنبعته يا عم ، ده الواحد عاوز ياخد بعضه ويهاجر معاهم
Thank you so much Nick for sharing their first moments here with us
Ambassador of Truth Geez buddy, WHERE in My statements did I Say that? Get off an innocent persons back would you! Damn! Can't say ANYTHING to ANYONE, about ANYTHING Anymore without getting COMPLETELY PEELED for it and having your words contorted can you??!!! Jesus!!!! back off
Don't say anything negative about this story if yr' Canadian, they will arrest you in this wonderful land of freedom.
hes got better clothes than me
Telling it to the Libs and CBC
He receives a $1400. 00 cheque within 24 hours.
@MrSwimfan1234 right, people judge you by the last result and don't think what was before that
God bless you bro for helping me
This brings tears to my eyes..those poor people.
Please donate to help this poor man.. He stained his brand new boots while illegally crossing our border.. please help him!
i'm here legally and struggling too, where's my help?
Poor baby!
Dan B Maybe you guys would get help if you voted for a party that cares about regular people and not profits or large establishments
you are ignorant narrow minded who doesn't understand what the refugees went though it could be you. would you like to be treated badly
the problem with Society nowadays is lack of empathy. people only care what affects them. they can't put themselves in other people's shoes. Canada is well big enough to accommodate more people. especially those that are so desperate that they travel 12 hours in freezing cold weather to get here. people who were born here with these privileges don't understand how privileged we are.
I respect for Canadian kindness and helping people who truly need your help
And this is why you’ve got every chancer trying their luck now crossing the border, kindness is seen as weakness by many people.
No bro, most of them are not chancers, they just want to build a new life in a good and fair country, me personally i want to move to Canada and work there and spend my life there, and iam going to apply to immigrate there ASAP.@@simonhoulding4414
@@simonhoulding4414 if u r wondering why would i do that, its because here in Egypt the country is being controlled by the military, every penny goes to buy fancy weapons, and the most dumb of all, "the new administration capital city", they just want every thing to be BIG, biggest flag pole in the world, tallest skyscraper in Africa, biggest road for military parades, and a HQ for the ministry of defence called the octagon, also the biggest is the world, and the biggest museum in the world too for that matter, everything is BIG BIG VERY BIG, mmmh i guess that our military generals are trying to compensate for something.
God bless you this is proof of humanity he literally saw no color or difference in that man nothing but another human in need and did what he could to help
Thanks so much for helping
nice to see some humanity these days, thankyou sir, u are a gentleman, may God bless you reward you some day
I remember in MI.if it was almost reaching 5am in the temps out were at 1, school closings would of been announced. Don't miss the bitter cold at all.
Dudeee an im dying for an update about this guy!!! Feel so bad for these people!!!
If they all move it dosent fix the problem
God blessed him, he is a wonderful man. Peace for Canada
I want to hear a follow up with him
Ambassador of Truth actually that's untrue as you need to work or have insurance to have "free" social programs and you can't have insurance without a job and house and without insurance he gets no 'free' welfare
think again, those rules apply for us, but the refugees get everything paid for
Me too!
kikistar125 how did you know?
You are HIGHLY highly misinformed which is ironic because your name is "Ambassador of Truth". Refugees are NOT they cannot work, they are not citizens or permanent residents. They are not in Canada permanently but are just seeking asylum while they apply ELSEWHERE but refugees do not and cannot stay in the country they seek refugee from. This is meant to be a temporary.
No one would be able to make it 21hours in -20 with a pair jeans and street shoes. HIred a actor to fit the story. PROPAGANDA
Canada thank you so much for helping these people...I am here crying seeing the guy from Somalia at 5:37 just makes me drop some tears...
💔💔💔
This is so sad... I never thought I'd see the day when people would flee the United States into Canada seeking asylum... WOW... A big thank you to your team for helping this man out and offering him a warm Canadian welcome :) We need more of this... a lot more
Is there anything more we could do for him?
If he doesn't have a criminal record? LMAO how the hell would you know if he doesn't even have documents to prove his identity. So you don't even know if he is a criminal or not.

Ever learn about the Underground Railroad? That's pure Canadiana.
you must be one of them. They are braking the law. Moron just like you criminal
God help you for picking the man from the cold. You won my heart.
CANADA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
Lots of Canadian citizens are poor while the government treat them worst than those refugees.
Still illegal.
Still soooo right.
Except it's not, as the RCMP have said.
did he received refugee status?
So it's not illegal for a person to walk into Canada? I guess Canada is not a country anymore it's just a piece of free and open land for the taking because Country's have borders and laws
ntspang
You are a great philanthropists.may God bless you bro
My heart breaks after seeing the man trying to surrender. 💔💔💔
Thank you sir for helping human
9:16
"Policeman.. okay? I'm gunna take you over there, and we're gunna get you some medical care, okay?"
LOLOLOLOL
Dude could've said "you're safe, you're ok, I am here to help"
He looks scared shitless!!
All I can say is I hope people who try so hard to get into western countries also try as hard to assimilate and appreciate the chance god has given them by being civil and appreciative and loyal to the receiving country's people, culture and values and not try to enforce their own culture which they ran from after they get in!
Sure hope he is given instructions that raping women is NOT legal in Canada ...
Nah, it'll just be swept under the rug by the media and the Trudeau administration.
The guy is afraid the police is American and not Canadian. So, he did something in the USA.
The reason he is afraid is that the police would deport him back to where he came form. He knows that is suicidal for him.
It is just not good way to enter a country without having any kind of permission. It is breaking the laws of that land.
Who cares, he needs our help. Grow a heart, you are clearly missing one
him checking the plate got me in tears man
It brought tears in ma eyes.
Behind every so called refugee that enters Canada is a Canadian that is taxed to poverty and has become a so called refugee in his own country. No one knows that Canadians have 3 families living in one home. Over 1Million Unemployed. Canadians living on the streets but every one else is given help. The sad news is that Canadians have had enough. The love to help people in need has turned to hate because many Canadians need help and are not getting it.
this is literally the dumbest take i’ve ever seen on the internet
God bless mr man
they deserve an Oscar. what a performance!
Yea ridiculous.. the poor Mohamed crawling, freezing on the side of the dark road, suddenly appeared...
You try being from a war torn country
@@SuperMarcoPolo7 with they way things are going, Canada is headed to become a war torn country. Wake up.
Even though its illegal, i dont think people put their lives in danger.. Just to get an oscar... Just saying... Stand on the facts that its illegal, but dont patronize peoples desperation of survival.
Great reporting, so proud to be Canadian. This is who we are
Hello invite me there i have the same story
STAGED!!!!
Rui Man I hope it's not staged because I want him deported back to Ghana
+GamingwithMohamed Get deported back to merr'ka, yokel hick trash. Indignant Cousin Eddy shithead.
Nicolas Vincent you make no sense I was born in America and I'm in America lol were the hell would I get deported too? America v2?
GamingwithMohamed lmfao
Maybe it's staged, maybe not, but IMO the old media have lost a lot of trust with the people in the recent past, and should attempt to address this and take measures to prove the veracity of what they put out. ...if they've got nothing to hide.
He came all the way from Africa as a refugee and now he has his own house, while thousands are homeless in their own countries; how does that work??
God bless these people and Canada for offering help to these people that are clearly desperate for better lives! May God give them the strength to succeed in their travels and to help them work hard for the lives they desire!
I'm in tears ,but I'm glad he got help
he's getting treated better than U.S.A homeless veterans
In the US, vets are on the streets and border crashers are being put up in hotels at tax-payer expense
I felt sorry for this dude his from somalia and gone so far to canada this dude is marvelous

Im from Mexico , why he did not wanted to live in colombia or mexico ?... We have no freebies and have to work hard to eat

you know he is one of the good guys horrible what he's going through
Canadians are getting so played by their media and their government, but people are waking up. Canadians are starting to ask why there isn’t enough money to fund Veteran’s care but there always seems to be money to put migrants in hotel rooms and pay them an allowance.
Please do a follow up on this man. Bless the refugees, may they find peace and freedom.
Massive respect for the Canadian heart ♥️
This is so damn sad.... How scared he is. His persistence in making it out alive. His fear of being hurt or caught by the American police. His resistance to trust. This is SO damn sad. I am so happy to live in a country where they'll treat you with kindness and respect. Proud to be Canadian.
It's crazy 😲 I hope they don't lose their lives of this freezing cold.
26 in that town that night! A town of 700! I am glad that you helped Mohammed at that point in time, but I'm not thrilled about letting in masses of people this way.
Maybe if we give people work visa's where they can stay if they are working and contributing but get sent back home if they aren't.
Immigrants are typically our best contributing citizens, but that is because for the most part they have been legal immigrants. Let's keep it that way. Please dear refugees, consider fixing the problems in your home country. If you want to come here then use the front door.
Also know that we have different ways of doing things here, so please be ready to integrate into Canadian society.
This made me weep. I can not imagine the uncertainty, desperation, and fear this man must have felt. I sit in my safe, comfortable house- the inequity, pain, and brokenness of this world is hard to fathom. Have mercy on us all.
"these" I have never felt such sadness in my life, they're not us or part of us but "these"
The driver of that car should have just kept on driving !

Speak for yourself.
God bless Canada,
Tax paying Canadians can wait up to 18 hours in hospital for emergency healthcare. These boarder jumps get immediate healthcare under the expense of Canadians..WTF is wrong with this picture??
There are so many things going on here that it's hard to truly express them all. First, I admire how brave a person must be to risk everything in order to seek a better life in a place that has more opportunity. Second, I'm worried not just for the health of those who try to cross in this way but also for those who have to stumble on the ones who don't make it. Third, I worry that those who cross in this fashion will be treated badly by our citizens because despite our reputation; Canada does have our share of close minded folks who can't see it from another person's perspective. And lastly, I worry that this will impact our ability to take in refugees who have gone through the proper channels. I'd like to think that we can accommodate all refugees that make the effort to get here but I just don't know. ~ Cory
