Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a staggering increase in anti-Asian racism in Canada;
- Fear and misinformation about the virus may disproportionately impact the sense of personal and community safety of some ethno-cultural groups;
- Many Asian Canadians feel that they need to adjust their lives in order to avoid run-ins or otherwise unpleasant encounters;
- Many Asian Canadians worry about their children being bullied in schools.
- Young Asian Canadians are more likely to have experienced and been affected by anti-Asian racism and bigotry over the last year; and
- The hatred and racially motivated murder of the Muslim family in London, Ontario, was yet another reminder that hate and Islamophobia existed in Canada
