Coming to Canada: The Courage to be Multicultural | Truepayna Moo | TEDxLangleyED

- Multiculturalism in Canada is important and valued, and yet immigrant and refugee youth still feel lonely, isolated and misunderstood. They want to be known, and for Canadians to understand where they came from and who they are. Diversity and multiculturalism is much more than food and clothes. To make multiculturalism work, we must move towards living in community together; building personal connections, appreciating our differences, and being truly known. Though Truepayna has faced many challenges in her life as a refugee, as she has listened to the stories of her peers, she has realized that she is not the only one that has had a difficult life. We all have struggles even though we pretend like we are okay - life is sugar coated. This has led Truepayna to believe that it is not just newcomers that feel isolated, but all of us. To make multiculturalism work, we must learn from a young age to ask better questions, to listen, and to be okay when the answers are not what we're used to.
Truepayna Moo arrived in Canada when she was 9 years old with her family in 2007. They were resettled in Langley with a large group of other Government Assisted Refugees. She was born in a refugee camp in Thailand, after her parents fled violence in Karen state in the mid-1990s. She has many memories of growing up in the refugee camp. Truepayna is graduated from Grade 12 at Langley Secondary school. In school Truepayna is exploring issues of social justice and considering her options for post-secondary school. Her dream is to pursue education related to international development and continue to help refugees and other in need.

Being immigrated by people who h)ate their own countries..... If they loved them, they wouldn't leave them.
@@FeedScrn Bbbbboooommmmmm. Mic drop. They come here and want us to love the country They Left and hate. Ffs.
beautiful speak
Wow, good speaker, she rose from ranks from the time she came to Canada and bravely survived up to where she is now.
If you work more then your capacity, you can survive, if you know the loops hole and you can used it you were successful person
Well multiculturalism won't work if we have ethnic groups staying with their own, rather than going out and learning other cultures and languages.
But that's needless to say multiculturalism never works. Some people love learning new languages and other cultures. Only "Some" Unfortunately.
Agreed and they become very open minded, become better people who contribute to all, along with their ethnic community and get the utmost respect, unlike most.
times change
Multiculturalism also means in a ‘top down’ fashion: if you look at the western countries, all of them have all or almost all anglo or white leaders in the government & their industries... in other for true multiculturalism these leaderships MUST include sufficient numbers of other ethnic or ‘minority ‘ groups instead of just the ‘boring, predictable ‘ ‘whites or anglo’ folks in all industries & all levels in leadership & management... no use just having multiculturalism in retail shops or markets....
So true...but it’s weird coming from you...Lucifer...
Those “some” climb their way to power and tyrannically rule with corporate investment cause stressed populations CONSUME MUCH MORE. Until we stress out and die.
great talk
Thank you for sharing your story. It takes courage! You did a great job!
Aren’t you the one who talked on the TED talk show?
Hi
Great Talk
i am so exited, so impressed n so proud of my
karen lady who can make such excellent talk like a native speaker.
good story telling ..keep going ..
Wow! You are so great! I used to live with Karen's...
hi
You need to learn the language and to integrate, I agree we need to get to know each other. But most ethnic groups want to stay with their own communities, multiculturalism does not work
Just the very basics of language, they don't need to be completely fluent. Even those who know English well still won't integrate. Ethnocentrism at its finest.
Margaret Campbell yeah it works....if Natives and Inuits can learn English and French so can immigrants who come to Canada.... Remember English and French are not the first languages Natives and Inuits learn first....
It takes time, usually a generation or two
@@denepride2910 nope ur wrong- thats exactly y it doesnt work ur being idealistic
k.m.ashraful ashik well in my case it happened within 1.5 years. Came to settled in Quebec when I was 12. First French and then mastered English a few year later. I'm now perfectly trilingual.
Please don't put everyone in the same basket. The length of the pathway to integration varies from one individual to another. It could be a very short process for people who come here as kids.
In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no culture, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, only modern slavery, worst healthcare system, unbearable political correctness, crime infested/drug infested, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become a North Korea style dictatorship in the western world.
There are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions, welfare, unemployment benefits, disability benefits and the numerous other programs, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.
Multiculturalism destroys the fabric and identity of a country. Socialism bankrupts a country.
Karen girls are always I really proud of you
😘😘😘
Multiculturalism is another name for anglo colonialism. Canada is not a nation. It's only juridicaly a country. People in Canada are not citizens, they are consumers and producers only. Canada is owned by big corporations from USA and UK. France, Italy, Germany, USA were founded by the citizens after a revolution. Canada was founded to beneficial of Scottish and Britannics to permit them to make money and expand their capitalism to Wst of Canada. Federal govenment has killed the metis in Manitoba to replace them with anglophones. He also has put first nations members into reserves with the indians law and try to wipe out first nations. They also try to eradicate francophones from Canada by voting laws to forbid teaching french. Canada welcome immigrants from all over the world as long as they ssuit the needs of big corporations and produce and consume goods and services and keep quiet. Immigrants have all their ghettos and can live as they were living in their country of origin.
God bless you.God is with you.Jesus Christ is king of king
God doesn't exist
pov: your here for geography class…
online school stinks
I don't believe in multiculturalism but this is still a good talk.
What do you mean? Like you don't think it's real or you don't thinks achievable.
@@purplekissy both. It’s dystopic Commie idealism that will murder people like Pol Pot, Mao & Stalin to force, but never working. It is unnatural and therefore cruel.
Multiculturalism is not bad. It is either implemented properly or in a divisive way. In the west, it has not been implemented properly. The far Left uses it as a tool to segregate and keep favours. The far Right sees it as a tool against nationalism and their dominance.
Integration is needed and the people yearn for it, but their "representatives" will not say so and only focus on the bogus issues to increase the divide instead of bridging the cultures. I hope this lady never gets into politics or she will be brainwashed into their dogma/doctrine.
Treat people as people and a person as a person and be considerate.
As the son of immigrants to Canada this is nonsense.
Can anybody help me?
I wanted to move to Canada...
multicultural Canada best coutry god
Because we are forced to allow you in. You don’t care about anyone but yourself so naturally you like multiculturalism. Will get ready, it’s not going to love you back
This is so sickening to me but I See that apprently she thinks that's something ...good?
Yeah I *gurantee* you my schools did almost everything they could, my family, my societiy to make my peers and me like it. The rates in sucess are rather absmymal but people feel properly horrible about feeling that way, especially If they share a friendship to somone of another group.
I mean I, do you actually like Like that?
