Overview
It would be difficult to deny that Canada does not have a racist history. Some argue that Canada is still racist today. Perhaps this is not a YES/NO question and requires a more thorough investigation into how much or little Canada is still racist. How you answer this question will likely depend on your own personal experiences and how much you know about the experiences of other Canadians. This is your chance to dig deeper, so you can give an informed answer to the question of racism in Canada.
As a first step, be sure you have carefully read the articles and watched the video link in the Sources section of Lesson 3 in the chapter titled "Is Canada Racist?" Here are the links to make your life a bit easier:
