Most Canadians agree historic Indigenous injustices are still relevant

French speakers and allophones, persons whose mother tongue is neither English nor French, are more evenly split on the question of historic injustices committed against Indigenous peoples, according to the survey. By comparison, noted Jedwab, English speakers are somewhat more likely to disagree, with 49% disagreeing and 41% agreeing. “It suggests that some groups may be less settled in their views, or may interpret Canada’s historic injustices through varying historical, linguistic, cultural, or immigrant orientations.”
