A 2025 Leger poll for the Association for Canadian Studies has challenged traditional assumptions about prejudice in Canada. The survey reveals that immigrants and visible minorities exhibit negative views toward other groups at rates similar to or higher than the general population. The findings, released before the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, show that prejudice exists across all demographic groups, with Arab Canadians facing the highest levels of negative sentiment at 26%. Association CEO Jack Jedwab emphasizes that these results demand a more nuanced approach to addressing discrimination in Canadian society.
