POLL: Diversity and Racism in Canada: Competing views deeply divide country along gender, generational lines

 One-quarter of Canadians feel “cold” toward Muslims, more than any other group asked about in the survey. Men over the age of 55 (42%) and Quebecers (37%) are among the most likely to say that.

Yet residents of Saskatchewan (44%) were the most likely to agree that Canada is a racist country. Residents of Quebec (24%) were the least likely.
The most pronounced divisions on these two statements about diversity appear to be political or ideological. One-quarter of those who supported the Conservative Party or Bloc Quebecois in the 2019 federal election disagree that diversity makes Canada better, and would like to live with neighbours that look like them, compared to far fewer among voters for the other three major federal parties. https://angusreid.org/diversity-racism-canada/?fbclid=IwAR3LFQTpZoXAZ-Nde8qkXDSRXygHLbazeKI56aKN_A53lEZCEdgRlEu696A
