in what becomes canada is the town of buxton. you have a minister who takes a group of enslaved people from the south and he decides slavery is no longer what he sees as ethical. he is going to go to ontario, set up a new community for these formerly enslaved people and help them set up an agricultural settlement of their own. >> what is life like for them? you say setting up communities. what does that entail? >> these were places where there were not a lot of euro-americans. they may have been native settlements, some of these places. but they are homesteads. rural, agricultural commodities. -- communities. but there are also people who escaped slavery and go to toronto and montreal. it is really a very diverse set of experiences north of the border and i am trying to find people who were in all of these places. >> what is their life like there compared to if they had stayed and gone somewhere else in the united states? >> with the fugitive slave act of 1850, people begin to feel the north is not safe. they began to think peopl

but somehow the amount of damage that we did to canada and mexico, canada, and particular, that we used a national security provision to .o against legislation i want you to comment, i was go back to the secretary and mla. of whether the issue created and adversarial relation or concerns with some of the rhetoric, i think we can all agree and i am not really looking to be political with the statement, there may have been times where the way things were expressed could have been done differently or more delicately. in myell you that experience of having lived and worked in predominately and life, 70%ing has been working on north american trade activity with my customers. that what has happened is the elevation of the conversation, business-to-business between companies to talk about the real issues in the underlying problems and why they need to be addressed has never been greater. ondom do we go to a movement -- to a meeting that does not end up being an open, transparent dialogue about concerns, so i think there is a positive as well. shutdowns,es to this it is a concern because it is

, the sole responsibility of canada, the sole responsibility of canada, rather than the uk? so i think it is fair to say that if your viewers could put yourselves in the position of canada, they might well wonder about both the ethics and the legality of the uk act. son who perhaps support the uk act. son who perhaps support the uk's decision might argue that they view citizenship as a privilege as opposed to a right and that canada doesn't have to repatriate jack letts and in fact jack canada doesn't have to repatriate jack letts and in factjack —— canada has said it doesn't have an obligation to return any of their citizens. ultimately, estate has a legal obligation. sooner or later it does. the idea of citizenship being a privilege rather than a right, well, if it is a privilege for the uk, it suddenly becomes a right with respect to canada because no country can legally make a citizen stateless so can legally make a citizen stateless so if the uk think that it a privilege for uk nationals, it can't also be a privilege for the other state of citizenship. that is the w

there are waiting lines in canada. some people increasingly start jumping that line in order to be able to get the care they need. especially surgery. the point of the argument, the article is that they were spending so much on health care, they had to do something about it. i tracked to this for a little while and a few years later, they came up with the story, ontario/his payments to u.s. in bid to cut cross-border care. they said, we can't afford this, people are jumping the line. you cannot escape the socialist health care paradise. we are going to make you stay here. that is one of the problems they have had for years. i used to joke about this when we first ran across this back in the mid-1990's. am i pressing that one? humans weight in pain, dogs don't. this is the story of a guy named gray -- greg, who is in the midst of a three have an month wait for a brain scan. he needs to get a cat scan. the cat scan is at the hospital. there is a waiting list. he cannot get in. at night, it closes down to humans, and it o

he made it to canada where he started a school and a settlement for other refugees. he was widely known in england, canada, and the eastern united states as father henson and was very much in demand as a preacher and a speaker. he became an inspiration, not the inspiration, for the literary character "uncle tom" in uncle tom's cabin. and they actually were alike in some ways only. hair yet beachrriet beecher sto characters but she was developing a character who was a very, very devout christian, tried to persuade other people to deepen their faith, sacrificed themselves for others, was beaten, tortured, died, and forgive his tormentors as he died. that's really not josiah henson. that's christ. even though there were many inspirations for uncle tom, josiah henson got associated with it, and this was one of the best and the worst things that could happen to him. it caused his fame to skyrocket. he has an exhibition at the london's world fair of the lumber produced at the settlement in canada. and even queen victoria met him and invited him to windsor castle. he was a

it absolutely does go on in canada. it goes more for elective surgery and a lot of things are elective that we might not see here but the wait times do happen and they can be extensive. did i go too far? this is the one that was done by the survey of the largest nurses association in canada which came up and said prescriptions are so expensive that people can't afford them and they are dying because they can't get their prescriptions. i thought i heard prescriptions were really affordable up there. apparently they may not be. finally, this is a survey from the canadian broadcasting corporation about what canadians are worried about. we see in 2012, healthcare is the second issue. but come down to 2018 and healthcare is the number one issue they are concerned about. if it is as good as bernie sanders tells us why is it the number one issue they are concerned about? with that i will stop.

there are 37 million people in canada which is smaller than california. are not enough drugs in canada to provide all the drums for the united states and what it's doing is not so much importing canadian drugs as importing canadian drug price control so canadians, that's why drugs are cheaper in canada and other places because the government says were not going to let you make that profit, the united states is practically the only country where drug cacompanies can charge whatever they want so you have people traveling to canada to get over the border and that works. if you can go to canada and save a lot of money on drugs and have a prescription and bring them back and the border patrol will let you bring back drugs for brpersonal use, obviously you can't bring in large amounts to presell and what the trumpet ministration is looking at his letting him states and perhaps pharmacies and drug manufacturers themselves bring back drugs at their lower prices and tell them it's not entirely clear how it would work. you probably wouldn't cover, at least the way
