Was there any undemocratic event that occurred within the last 10 years against a minority group in Canada?

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms specifically protects and makes equal any minorities in Canada.\n\nThe term "undemocratic event" is unclear but there have ongoing problems in Ontario, B.C., and other provinces with First Nations groups. Furthermore Quebec separatists can always make an argument (usually a poor one) that Quebec is treated unfairly.\n\nGenerally if an "undemocratic event" of some kind occurs it is resolved via negotiation or court cases.

This is a gay and lesbian forum and you didn't list the minority group on your list???\nI think any visible minority is discriminated against way more then minorities that are not visible!\nBut I also agree with the person who answered from Australia in that a lot of the groups you listed are not even minorities depending on where you live.  For instance in the city of Toronto second most spoken language is Chinese so I would imagine that means there are a lot of Chinese people living in that city so may that Chinese is probably not a minority there.  They are a  minority there only in that they have not lived there in the numbers they now have as long as the whites have been there.  The other thing funny to note about this statistic is that Canada has two official languages but one of them is not Chinese!  I think that people from the Middle East and Latinos are discriminated against a lot right now because of all the terrorism that is coming out of the Middle East since 911. I  clump the Latinos in with the Middle Eastern people because they are so similar in looks! Just my thoughts on all of this. *hugs* JAC<

I would say it happened in the USA and not in Poland.\nWhen the Steel Mills, Mines, Slaughter Houses, etc. needed undeucated workers to replace those who were agitating for higher wages and better working conditions they sent agents to Central Europe to recruit with fab promises about a better life.\nOnce here they were discriminated against because of their language, family values, religion, and clannishness.\nEnduring slurs, jokes, and the like to keep them downtrodden became the norm and the jokes never stopped.

No!!! There are over 7000 soldiers who have moved to Canada, AWOL, because they said no. A lot more than that AWOL in Europe and Africa. I applaud them and say that they are the bravest of them all.

It has nothing to do with 100 years ago.  It has to do with racism and discrimination that exist today

Trust me Canada is a lot less racist than the US. I have never heard of Latin kids being discriminated against. We have our moments of stupidity,like the kirpan thing,but no in general we are pretty reasonable. You find racists in every society by the way. We know that we are all from some where else anyway.\nForget the seal thing btw. It is overblown and poorly reported. It sounds like we all go out and whack seals over the head and skin them alive. Not true, the majority of seals are shot. It isn't nice to shoot animals of course but it is a hunt. Did you know that the cod levels have suffered since it was decided not to hunt as many seals.

I dont feel really comfortable answering questions about race relations in othr countries anymore. Quite often you get attacked and the asker comes back at you with comments like who are you to bash our country etc etc...so I will just comment on mine. Im 41 and from Australia. I have a black mother and white father. Ive seen racism from both sides of the street. Our present Government refuses to make any apology for past tragedies to our indigenous people, or for the many generations taken away from their families simply because of Assimilation Policy. Which means get them into white culture, breed out the colour, get rid of em. There were and still are many ongoing problems from historical and current policy. With that said we do have Indigenous groups and factions that are one sided too. Our big problem here is Immigration Policy. We have so many problems with boat people, detention centres for illegals etc its a nightmare. We have some problems with race riots here which are disturbing. There were riots in a Sydney suburb of mainly Indigenous people and boy the media carried it on for months and months and it resulted in some losses to that community, changes in the powers and controls of the police etc. Then we had another incident not long ago re some Middle Easterns and it was all over the news again. But you know hardly anything, in my opinion, was done about this because the Government and police are scared to take action against these groups. I dont know its all so confusing. Its horrible and I just wish we could all get along and not judge each other. Thats probably not much of an answer to your question...sorry

I'll give an example.\n\nWhen muslims come to Britain and then try to change our lifestyle to their own taste. Example, The veil row, I could not go into some shops with a ski mask on so why should they?\n\nThey then demonstrate about freedom of speech?\n\nThey are the ones who hold demonstrations telling people to behead disbelievers? And we put up with this?\n\nLeader of BNP has just been cleared of calling them a wicked race, end of story.\n\nThat is an example when a religion tries to force on others its views.\n\nThat is an example of the British peoples rights being infringed on.

Gay marriages have been made legal in Canada for the past year.  The New Prime Minister Steven Harper has promised to hold a "free vote" on this subject...it was the last government (Liberal) under Paul Martin that made it legal and changed the whole definition of marriage.  I don't see the point of a "free vote" now; it's too late to take it back now and will just cost a lot of tax money to hold it.

Didn't this happen in Michigan?  I do recall that same story happening here in Michigan within the last 5-6 years, or something very close to that story.

Canada believes in multiculturalism and this concept has destroyed Canada.  The Liberal Party of Canada worries more about minorities than what is really important to the country…  Now that the Conservative Party have gotten in, things may actually get better.  Here’s hoping that Gay marriage in Canada will be overturned!
