Canada, as part of British Empire, had slavery and that’s known an mentioned in school and media . I’m originally from Eastern Europe and we learned that in school. Of course not as much as slavery in the south of USA but we know there were slaves in Canada too. It’s not true that nobody knows about it
Im in my sixties and it was touched on in school. I dont remember what grades, but I kniw it was present. I doubt that was the case everywhere in Canada. My family hasnt been here very long. I had a reverse experience of an Asian Canadian woman thinking she was less Canadian than I and her family tree had been here for qlot longer than mine. It blew her mind and mine. It just shows how pervasive and piwerful this idea of the 'white' Canadian really became.
Why would it be surprising to feel marginalized if you are in the margin? The fact is that Canada was settled and built by mainly French and British. Also British doesn't just mean English. In Canada there is a strong, proud history of Scottish, Irish, and Welsh who were just as important, if not MORE important than the English. Remember that our first Prime Minister was born in Scotland. I would be happy to meet a black person who has a long history in Canada. That's an amazing thing. However, I also think it's perfectly natural for someone to be a little surprised, because you would be rare. It's good to be rare. Be happy that you're rare.
This video does not mention slavery at all. Although I don't disagree generally with the position put forward by the narrator it is perhaps a bit over emphasised as to the degree. As for slavery in Canada, most places where it happened, Quebec and Nova Scotia, its known about. Less so perhaps in Ontario.
Well since you seem to know her entire family tree why don't you fill us in on when her family came to Canada. Plus you do realize that slavery played a huge part in building the colonies in Canada as well as America.
Yeah I’ve always wondered why we talk about indigenous history and reconciliation with the native Canadians but we dont talk about black history in a lot Canada but what I do not understand is why the woman gets offended when someone asks her where she is from
It's pretty obvious. For one the scale of Canadian slavery is very small compared what happened litterally everywhere else. There are many reasons for this (it's isolated and can't grow cash crops.) The other reason is that Canada itself isn't all that important. The US is the hegemon, so it's history is hyperscrutinyzed.
"Slavery" is any system in which principles of property law are applied to people, allowing individuals to own, buy and sell other individuals, as a de jure form of property. A slave is unable to withdraw unilaterally from such an arrangement and works without remuneration. Slavery still exists around the world. The United Nations has said there are between 40 and 50 million people around the world even today that are Slaves.!! We here in the western world have become mentally lazy. We no longer expose people to many topic growing up as a child in school. Schools Only give you enough education to make you a great slave and behave the way the farm wishes you too. We Have become Naive to this in the western world. People Live in there Bubble wrapped world. Even the so called highly educated Professional people. Live in there glass bubble. There's a Form of sex Slave too! Woman Children and men Are bought and sold Just like cattle on a farm. There's a form of DEBT Slave also! It is still called Debt bondage, also known as debt slavery or bonded labour,(have ever herd the term. Can they be “BONDED”? If so, you got your slave score. Bonded Labour is the pledge of a person's services as security for the repayment for a debt or other obligation, where the terms of the repayment are not clearly or reasonably stated, and the person who is holding the debt and thus has some control over the laborer- This being a modren form of the banks holding over you your credit score. The government using Taxes deducted from your gains. Indentured servants were/are men and women who signed a contract (Gainfully employed) (also known as an indenture or a covenant, Employment Contract) by which they agreed to work for a certain number of hours per week and years in exchange for transportation, food, clothing and shelter. (YOUR CAR) and, (YOUR food) And YOUR clothing, and YOUR shelter.(mortgage on your house!) Have you signed a Contract for an Education in only one topical area of Expertise ?? Mm Doctoral, Masters..Yip Slaves! Have you signed a loan for your education, a car loan or Mortgage? Unless you buy something cash. Or pay for something with your profits. Your unknowingly a slave to your debt. An most of you all will never understand that! Is that an insult to your intelligence. Sort of. But did it just make you think about your life and situation. Hopefully!! Examples are Has that Modern Hockey Player Signed a contract to play so many games for a couple million a year?? They are Slaves too!! Never truly knowing that though. They are just the modern Gladiator of the Once great Roman empire! Didn't know this. But Gladiators in Roman where paid a lot of money!! Chefs where paid a lot of money too!! So Are you seeing how you've been brain washed into believing your Life is a "free" life??? The Illusions of freedom are all around you. Most of you live in a state of Compliance. An Not ever really knowing the cage you live in and under. You could be Liberal, Conservative, Open Minded, Religious. All these are the masterfully art of Animal training. To be an AWAKENED mind you must be able to see through the cloud of Animal Training. Teach your child Independence! Teach them Critical thinking!! Teach them Life skills!! Teach and expose them at as many topics as there are in an Encyclopedia!! Awaken your own mind, Soul and life!! Live free is you can!! An DARE!!
" Canada" became a country in 1867, salvery was abolished in 1833 by Queen Victoria, how can you say ' Canadian slaves" ? You mean slavery in "north America" prior to Canada
Every Canadian associates their heritage with somewhere else i.e. Europe, Asia, Africa. Why does this woman feel offended when people ask her that question? Does she think her family crossed the Bering Strait passage or something? lol They obviously didn't. So just because her family may have come here a few years before other immigrants doesn't mean a thing.
jistintime1979+ Have you missed her point? Assuming you are white - for the most part, you're not asked that question. If you are, certainly not in the way she is constantly asked. The annoying thing is that her Canadian roots go back waaayyyy further than the majority of white Canadians that are asking her that question!
jistintime1979+ Don't you know that many blacks in Canada - especially those that have family roots in Nova Scotia - have a continuous blood-line in Canada all the way back to the 1700s? In all likelihood, many of these Black Canadian families have been in Canada much longer than YOUR ancestors have been in Canada!
She can easily draw her ancestry back a few hundred years in Canada if her ancestors were either slaves or free blacks who came here for example with the Planters or later Loyalists to Nova Scotia. Again during the War of 1812 more freed Blacks came to Canada.

Most of the slaves in Canada were Aboriginal and they often had the worst treatment particularly the Inuit ones
Lol what about status Indians 😂are we not candian?

Slavery played a very small part in building what is today Canada.

More importantly stop presenting Canada as a racist country your false narrative is offensive to Canadians, Canadian is not a race but a culture
@jonnyneace8928 Canada gained it's independence in 1867 google it

"many many generations"? "Centuries"? I'm calling bullshit. She has no idea when her relatives came here.
