One-quarter of frontline employees surveyed at Canada’s border agency said they had directly witnessed a colleague discriminate against a traveller in the previous two years

Of these respondents, 71 per cent suggested the discrimination was based, in full or in part, on the travellers’ race, and just over three-quarters cited their national or ethnic origin.

As part of the research, 922 border services officers and superintendents were surveyed from March 2 to 22, 2020.Article content The CBSA’s traveller processing activities do not intentionally set out to target people based on perceptions around their race or ethnicity, the report says. The agency uses a combination of information sources, such as global trends and reports, in the development of scenarios, which are systematically reviewed for human rights and other considerations.Article content

The reviewers found the agency could conduct only “very limited analysis” based on travellers’ racial or ethnic identities when using operational data.

They only received a little over 900 responses. The government got the results they were looking for. Well if you think of a drug dealer, a gun runner or a terrorist I’m guessing everybody has an image of a person in their minds. And the reason for that are appearances and stereotypes. People look for signs: age, gender, race, dress and appearance. Random doesn’t work.
