the only black folks coming in are like nigerians
Yup in any significant numbers. the future of Toronto will be bland. Squeeze out Black immigration and the art scene, sport scene, general culture and space in which we were represent becomes stagnant. For all the waves of migration that have been here it has been brehs who gave any identify to this place. Despite all the obstacles we face. They will miss us in due time. But it will be too late.

Carribean migrants gave this city it's soul.

Yup but its hard as hell for any carribbean to come here now. Outside of the ones who come to pick apples etc. its rare as hell. Getting a visa is near impossible and there are more rich africans than there are folks in the carribbean so they can immigrate easily.

That's what it is now. You either a rich Black immigrant or someone that juked the system. Asylum seeker, refugee or visa over stay. But Indians can come in at 300k a year no problem.. :what:

Dumb shyt

In October, with just 18,000 jobs created but 85,000 people added to the labour market, the unemployment rate went up from 5.5% to 5.7%.


Canada keeps taking in more and more people but no jobs and no housing

ah well ten indians to a 2bdrm basement in brampton

Had a talk with an old head Jamaican immigrant breh. Dude told me he got his first house in Toronto for 27k. :skip: he got 2 homes now and his son got a building for his 2 daughters because they won't be able to afford nothing when they grow up here.

Warmed my heart to see some Black people are thriving. Dude told me when he came to Canada his wife had friends who would shyt on her for going to work. They both had friends who lived in Apartments got comfortable collecting government money. Said these people never elevated since the 70's and now they are in bad positions. The hot girls who used to shyt on his wife for going to work while they collected money and stayed home are forgotten alone and passed their prime.

They said to me that coming up with the 27k back then seemed impossible but they can't imagine what we deal with today.

Where are the black people in this city?! I have never seen such a massive downtown with little to no black folk.

Where can I go to hit up a nice soul food spot?

That's a black American dish, might be one in TO. Toronto is mostly Caribbean and African food for black people

False. I was in London six months ago and saw plenty of black people in Trifalga Square or whatever it’s called. There was a black presence.

I work in NOHO, Manhattan. I see more than enough black people in Manhattan; on the subways, walking the streets, in the stores, running businesses, etc. The mayor of NYC is actually black.

That is not the case in Toronto. There is an overwhelmingly white, middle eastern and Asian population in downtown Toronto and very, very little black presence.

No political presence, they’re not commuting in town to work in the biggest companies, they’re not running any businesses down there… NOTHING.

That’s a type of institutional racism I’ve never seen before. A whole group of people are almost invisible in the fourth largest city in North America. That ain’t right!

Most of the black people in GTA live in the east and west ends

Largest black populations in the area are in Hamilton and Scarborough/Pickering/Ajax region
