"We have racism problems in Canada, however from my experience they aren't the same as the racism problems south of the border."
.
They aren't the same in that your racisim problems are probably worse but it's not brought out into the open in the media like it is in the U.S. In Canada, rather than deal with it openly, politicians and posters alike seem to think "we have problems too" is as far as you have to go. Or "don't think it can't happen here" which is both a hint at your racism and a denial of it at the same time.
The white majority in the U.S. is only 62% and it's doubtful that there is a Canadian alive that doesn't think that makes race relations much more difficul than in Canada. 
What little is known about racism in Canada is that you deny the human rights of your  largest minority, have them going to the UN for help and lock them up at a rate more disproportionately than blacks in  U.S. prisons.
Racism in Canada is dealt with in the same way that oil spills are.
