Our survey shows a bit of positive momentum on the issue of race relations. The proportion of Canadians who report an improvement is up five points, but certain areas remain far behind in believing that things are actually better
The early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic were difficult for most Canadians. Uncertainty about employment, as well as an inability to partake in many activities, made people angry. As was widely reported at the time, Asian Canadians bore the brunt of personal attacks, physical and verbal, on public spaces.
On a regional basis, perceptions of improved race relations are more prevalent in Quebec , Alberta , Saskatchewan and Manitoba and Atlantic Canada . Two provinces have decidedly lower numbers: Ontario and British Columbia . Our views on the full extent of racism in Canada are influenced by what we go through and witness. Almost half of Canadians have personally experienced racism on social media or during day-to-day interactions with others, such as shopping or taking public transit . Fewer report enduring racist behaviour at school , at work , during interactions with police and law enforcement or during interactions with the health-care system .
As expected, the percentages are higher when Canadians are asked about what they saw at some point of their lives. Most Canadians report having witnessed racist behaviour on social media , during day-to-day social interactions and at school , while the proportions are lower at work , dealing with police or accessing health care .
