Let’s encourage a safe and hate-free Canada

Tell Justin Trudeau and the Liberals to confront racism head-on so every Canadian can feel safe

As New Democrats, we recognize that racism hurts deeply and diminishes the humanity of marginalized people. Jagmeet and the NDP believe it is time to turn talk of diversity into action to confront racism.

    As New Democrats, we recognize the inherent dignity of all people. We know that racism hurts deeply and diminishes the humanity of marginalized people. The impacts of hateful speech are real: hate crimes spiked to an all-time high in Canada in 2017, with an increasing number of incidents targeting Muslim, Jewish, and Black Canadians.

    In Canada today, racialized people are more likely to face systemic barriers to employment, while immigrants and racialized communities are the targets of divisive rhetoric that pits neighbours against each other. Jagmeet and the NDP believe it is time to turn talk of diversity into action to confront racism.

    Anti-Semitism, anti-Black racism, Islamphobia, and other forms of hate are too often allowed to flourish on the internet. We will work together to tackle the hate, racism, white supremacy, and systemic discrimination that are hurting people across the country.

    A New Democrat government will take action to confront racism by:

    • Banning carding by federal law enforcement, and working with local partners across Canada to end this practice in all jurisdictions across the country
    • Addressing the chronic overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples and Black Canadians in the federal prison population
    • Conducting a comprehensive review of the existing employment equity regime to help close the racialized wage gap
    • Strengthening labour laws and ensuring diverse and equitable hiring within the federal public service, and in federally regulated industries
