Blessings, where did you group, Young Queen ?

[@tudormiller887]

Great video really informative. So Afro Canadians invented Ice Hockey ? 😊

I’m half Nova Scotian and half Nigerian🇨🇦🇳🇬 I had the best of both worlds growing up. Very happy my parents taught us All of Our history. I’m in turn doing the same with my own kids. So ur video was a great addition to our Black history Education. I love your channel❤️

[@dominicthelordkabinga]

I’m half Zambian half Nova Scotian, this was interesting. Also the first official hockey league was started by black Nova Scotians.

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Wow what an interesting mix! Nova Scotia has so much fascinating black history, I'd love to visit one day!

[@lungamadoda6992]

@@FreedomIsMineOfficial me too I’d love to visit 🇿🇦

[@dominicthelordkabinga]

@Black Sparrow yes indeed

[@sonofayiti8853]

We truly are some of the most marginalized people in the world. Either way thank you for continuing to shed light on a dark corner of history.

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Thank you for watching and for supporting!

When I was in school there was only one time there teach Black Canadian history when I was 16 years old in just one day. But it was so minor is like we did not hardly accomplish anything. But in general in late 20th century and early 21st century this society mainly taught that Black people just immigrated here from 1960s and 70s from the Caribbean Islands.

[@raheli7155]

And they never told us anything such at school 😩. I swear history at school only *teach us what they want us to know*. They don’t teach us *what really happened*

[@collinhenry9996]

Many people do not know African Canadian history and think you for your video especially about Black people in Nova Scotia because in that province most black people have deep family roots before Canada was country and African Canadians help build city of Halifax in 1749.

[@BramptonAnglican]

In Ontario also

Hi my beautiful sister keep on the good work ,we are everywhere on the planet

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Thank you so much for watching and for all the support! 🥰

[@carmenhomer1965]

Awesome video as always. I heard of Marie Angelique, and Viola Desmond and the Black Loyalists. Have you seen the miniseries Book of Negroes

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Thank you so much Carmen! 😊 I haven't seen the series, what is it about? Would you recommend it?

[@carmenhomer1965]

Freedom Is Mine Official A young woman named Aminata is taken into slavery and escapes to the North during the Revolutionary War and then goes to Nova Scotia and returns to Africa. There is a book too. Actual book of former slaves in Canada. The miniseries came out in 2015.

I’m of Nigerian Heritage on my Father side and African American on my Mother side I live in the USA 🇺🇸 but I’m thinking of moving to Canada 🇨🇦 is it worth the move.

[@petergeramin7195]

No, just move to a part of the US that you like and is affordable. The culture aside from the French speaking regions is largely the same. I visited for 2 months and it felt the same. The neutral accents are the same. They couldn't tell I was American unless my accent dipped to a Southern or Northern accent and they would do a stereotypical Canadian accent for fun

[@tyracole1998]

I've been waiting for this. I'm Nigerian Canadian by the way

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Thank you Tyra! What an interesting dual heritage you have! Yes, I got several requests for a video on Canada....so here it is!

[@dondiego1300]

In your reference to outstanding Black Canadian artist you failed to mention, the Great jazz pianist, Oscar Petersen.

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Thank you for your feedback Don Diego. I think the term 'failed' is perhaps a little harsh as this video is a summary rather than a comprehensive analysis, but thank you for watching and for highlighting Oscar Peterson's outstanding work.

[@colombes9233]

it's when you make the history of the African continent , with different peoples ?

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Hi there! Great question! Well my series focuses on the African diaspora, so for the moment we are looking at black communities outside of Africa. But I will remember your suggestion for the future! It would be interesting to look at some African history too 😊

[@abrahamisaacmuciusiii9192]

Ms. Jailler, did you ever visit Canada?

[@jgee8421]

Should mention how majority of black Canadians I’m pretty sure are West Indian decent. Followed by Africans from the continent . been here while too

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Thank you for watching and for the info!

[@collinhenry9996]

While according to Wikipedia in Canadian statistic was about 60% of Black Canadians are Caribbean or of Caribbean background in 2006 but now most recent Black immigrants come straight from Africa but Caribbean's still has large percentage in the black Canadian population.

[@healthandfitness872]

You are so beautiful and intelligent. ❤️

[@untitle161]

If u don’t mind me asking? I hopes it’s ok to ask this. I’m an American. Here in the USA Among Afro Americans children only around 20 percent of them have fathers. Up in Canada does the percentage rate of Afro Ametocan children having fathers is much higher?

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Hi there, thanks for watching. I have to say, that's an incorrect statistic and I'm not sure what relevance it has to the video in question. But thank you for watching and for your interest Black Canandian history.

[@realliferealtalkwithbiggs777]

This my sis right here…

[@IsabelJimenez-yu5kc]

Aren't most black Canadians first and second carribeans and west Africans similar to england?

[@IsabelJimenez-yu5kc]

@@kaleahcollins4567 that's only partially correct...a huge percentage is in fact carribean.

[@lungamadoda6992]

Nova Scotia is different though

[@BramptonAnglican]

No. My family has been in Ontario for over 150 years on my mom’s side.

[@alexskatit4188]

Also of note is the recent large black migration from the Caribbean and now Africa. They have now overtaken the traditional black Canadians. Largest black group in Quebec is Haitian and in Ontario it is Jamaicans.

[@vincentramos628]

Doesn't matter where african descent people migrate to, the treatment is always the same. Especially being shipped as property by monarchy, to the new world continent. When a discussion concerning this topic, is at hand, a majority of african descent people don't realize it's all the same.

[@anarresnaturalapothecary2078]

Canada "phased out" slavery. That tracks.
