Canadians have a reputation for being some of the world's kindest people. This video proves that to be true.

YouTuber AsoOmii Jay teamed up with Time Vision Productions to try out a social experiment called the "Blind Trust Project."

In order to test how Canadians would react, a blindfolded Muslim man stood at Dundas Square in downtown Toronto, with signs that read "I am a Muslim. I am labelled as a terrorist," and "I trust you. Do you trust me? Give me a hug."

The result was truly heartwarming.

He would be greeted not with a hug, but with a bullet.

Sad, but true.
