1:20:00
they're turning around and
giving financial support

1:20:01
and tax breaks and tax benefits
to people that don't need them.

1:20:04
- Where are the indigents in
the city? Where do they live?

1:20:08
- Uh... indigent... uh...
1:20:11
- You act like you've never heard
the word before.

1:20:13
- There's... We don't have that
problem here, really. It's...

1:20:15
- So I asked him,
1:20:17
"Could you at least take me
to a Canadian slum,"

1:20:19
and well...
1:20:21
this is what a ghetto
looks like in Canada.

1:20:24
Is this the same mentality that
says, with Canadians, if someone

1:20:27
gets sick, they should actually
be able to have health care?

1:20:31
- Yeah.
- Oh, definitely.

1:20:33
- Yeah.
- Yup.

1:20:35
- Why?
1:20:37
- Because!
1:20:39
- Human rights. Everyone's got
the right to live.

1:20:41
- You just came out of
the emergency room?

1:20:43
- Yes, I did.
1:20:44
- How much did you have to pay
for your treatment?

1:20:47
- The bill is covered
by our hospital plan.

1:20:49
- You're telling me you didn't
have to pay anything?

1:20:51
- No, I don't.
1:20:52
- I have family that lives
in the States.

1:20:55
They used to live in Canada
and moved over there.

1:20:57
And it's so different.
- They get afraid more easily.

1:21:01
- Oh, yeah.
1:21:03
Yeah, very much so.
1:21:05
'Cause everybody reacts
over there just like that.

1:21:09
They don't stop and think.
1:21:12
First reaction is pull the gun
out. "You're on my property."

1:21:16
You know, like...
1:21:20
I don't know. It's just
different over here.

1:21:23
- Where do you live?
- Detroit.
(Windsor, Canada)

1:21:25
- Come over to Canada here
for the night?

1:21:27
- Right.
1:21:28
- People are more open-minded
here, a bit more welcoming.

1:21:31
- Feel any difference when
you cross over to this country?

1:21:34
Be honest, now, come on.
- It's a lot lighter.

1:21:36
- The segregation over there
is definitely much more--

1:21:38
- In the United States.
- ...more intensified

1:21:40
in the States, yeah.
- Yeah.

1:21:42
- So you can... You can feel it.
1:21:45
- Almost like they just
let you be.

1:21:47
- That's Canada for you.
1:21:49
- Every time I turn on the TV
in the States,

1:21:51
it's always about a murder here,
a gunfight, hostile position...

1:21:55
- I just think the States, their
view of things is fighting.

1:21:58
That's how they resolve
everything.
