Almost half of Canadians say they have seen systemic racism in their province: poll

Almost half of Canadians polled, 49 percent, reported observing evidence of systemic racism in their province according to a survey by the Association for Canadian Studies conducted by Leger.
Jack Jedwab, president of the Association for Canadian Studies, noted that 49 percent reporting systemic racism was "a bit higher" than he expected, suggesting a lack of understanding among Canadians.
Kanika Samuels-Wortley, a Canada Research Chair, stated that the increased identification of systemic racism reflects a growing consciousness about bias affecting citizens in Canada.
The survey indicated that 56 percent of women and 57 percent of individuals aged 18 to 34 reported witnessing systemic racism.
