While Canada is often perceived as a model when it comes to inclusion, a little more than one third of Canadians surveyed in May 2021 felt that Canada was a racist country. This sentiment was most prevalent among younger populations: 47 percent of 18-24 year olds and 43 percent of 25-34 year olds felt their country was racist, compared to 24 percent of people aged 55 to 64, and 27 percent of those over 65.
