A Statement from the Canadian Race Relations Foundation On the Increase of Anti-Asian Violence Across North America The Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) is deeply concerned with the increasing levels of violence perpetrated against Canada's Asian population since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The violence against Asian-Canadians harkens back to an extremely dark period in Canada's history where Asians were targets of racism during a period of crisis. The present-day events put this country on a dangerous trajectory that it cannot afford to repeat.

Over the last decade social media has become the most popular and effective tool to exercise one's freedom of speech. But with the limitless freedom share one's views online also comes the ability to disseminate hateful, racist and extremist vitriol with relative impunity. How do Canadians feel about this? What do they propose government should do about it?

In mid-January of this year, CRRF commissioned Abacus Data to conduct a survey of Canadians on their perceptions and experiences, as well as their recommendations for regulating hate speech and racism online.

The Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) strongly endorses the report of the Ontario Human Rights Commission into the discriminatory practices of the Toronto Police Service and calls for the adoption of the recommendations made in the report.

In 2019, the Foundation mindfully engaged in stakeholder consultation sessions across Canada to gauge the current state of anti-racism issues and opportunities, and to analyze collected insights in order to develop a new strategic direction that will guide the Foundation’s activities in the new 2020-2023 Strategic Plan. The consultation confirmed the need for the Foundation to reset its strategic direction to better respond to the current realities and pressing needs of organizations, public institutions and leaders who are working on anti-racism issues.

The consultation and ensuing Board conversations resulted in revised statements for the Foundation’s vision, mission and values. Three (3) new strategic directions were also identified as focus areas for the 2020-2013 Strategic Plan, including the Foundation’s priorities for the 2020-2021 fiscal year.
