Overview

 Systemic racism and discrimination of Black and racialized people persisted. Wet’suwet’en territory remained under threat from pipeline construction. Violence against Indigenous women continued and the fate of missing Indigenous children remained unresolved. The human rights of asylum seekers and migrants were violated and two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual (2SLGBTQQIA+) people faced discrimination and violence. Canada did not meet emissions targets. Canadian corporations were linked to alleged human rights abuses abroad.
