Canada has experienced a sharp rise in hate crimes targeting religion, sexual orientation and race since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to data released this week by Statistic Canada.

In 2021, hate-motivated crimes targeting religion jumped 67 per cent, those targeting sexual orientation climbed 64 per cent and those targeting race or ethnicity rose 6 per cent."We simply cannot afford further delay in actions to stop anti-Asian hate and racism," Amy Go, the president of the Chinese Canadian National Council for Social Justice, told Reuters.

Canada welcomed a record 401,000 new permanent residents in 2021, and Ottawa has set an ambitious target of 432,000 newcomers this year.

Most of which from our government.

Missed an opportunity on the headline here CTV, should've went with 'Heart Attacks Linked To Surge In Hate Crimes'.

Well, when immigrants and refugees get treated better than our own lifetime Canadians who are struggling, its hard to make newbies feel welcome and for us not to like them. Plus they take over all our businesses. RBC doesn't do credit checks on them either. They get everything!

Hate crime increase, or new definitions of hate crime?

I HATE EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY…NOT BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THERE SKIN BUT BECAUSE OF THERE STUPIDITY VOTING LIBERAL WHICH HAS DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY

Legacy media and Trudeau's government are aggravating racism. White supremacists are terrible, but they are not the worse group for hate crime. CTV should be held accountable like Alex Jones.

What do expect from the right wing CONservatives, aka Rethugliekkkons of the North.

Slow news day….

Thanks to JustinTrudeau

All because the government lied and is lying about covid

Remember when Chesa Boudin?

To the govermant.

Government sanctioned hatred of the unvaccinated another good example.

Trump

Or maybe it was headlines like this ?

Comes straight from the PM. When he asked if the unvaxxed should be allowed to continue to take up space in canada —— that shows you all you need to know about him and canada

Perpetuated by the lib government who have made medical and religious discrimination acceptable.

more made up bullshit

Not to burst your bubble, but hate has been on the rise world-wide for the last 20 years for a thousand different reasons, or no reason at all.

Well what does state media propaganda think will happen when they push division?

Hate crimes like the ones Trudeau has committed?

Especially against the fascist leader CanadianPM JustinTrudeau

POC are the most Racist people now in Canada! No one is a true Ally to anyone don’t be fool people! If you know you know!

Not sure how this is a story. The govt and media tell the population all the time how racist Canada is. I am surprised anyone comes here at all.

Trudeau being the main spreader of hate.

Yikes! Only hate toward mRNA ‘unvaccinated’ is allowed in Justin Trudeau’s Canada.

Bullsheit

The liberalndp government are the ones perpetuating hate.

I havent seen racism around me but I sure witnessed lots of Covid hatred. Discrimination is discrimination. Cant ride our bus,cant eat in our restaurant,should be denied access to healthcare...Sounds the same as historic racism to me...Shame.

I call bullshit on that 👎

if it was any other country it be called what it is, genocide posing as charity.

hate crime exists because of the current Canadian liberal/ndp Govt

Yeah the Liberals really spending the hate

SARS and COVID a gidts from China...Monkeypox from Africa

YLM! Yellow Lives Matter 😃

But did it

Only towards our government!

I hate , JustinTrudeau, CBCNews

Real hate JustinTrudeau

When you bring in people from countries, that hate each other!! This all Justines fault!

As an individual that has been called racist,misogynistic and an extremist who takes up space for my Healthcare choices,I can attest

Maybe immigrant levels are to high for assimilation? Now we are seeing segregated communities.....

No they didn’t.
