and violence targeting Muslims and
those perceived as Muslims.”

The Runnymede Report
v An Angus Reid poll in 2009 found that 68% of Quebecers surveyed held an unfavourable view
of Islam. This had risen just slightly in 2013 to 69%. However, the same poll showed that the
increase of Islamophobic attitudes in the rest of Canada was greater than it was in Quebec,
rising from 46% in 2009 to 54% in 2013.
Geddes, John "Canadian anti-Muslim sentiment is rising, disturbing new poll reveals". Maclean's Magazine (2013).
v A survey in 2012 shows 52%of Canadians feel that Muslims can only be trusted “a little” or
“not at all”. 42%of Canadians think discrimination against Muslims is “mainly their fault.
Csillag, Ron “Survey finds deep mistrust for Muslims in Canada”. Washington Post 2012
v A 2015 survey conducted in Quebec found that 49% of respondents would be bothered if
they received services from someone wearing the headscarf.
Solyom, Catherine "Survey reveals troubling data on religious tolerance in Quebec“. Montreal Gazette (2015)
v In July 2016, a survey by the polling firm MARU/VCR&C reported that only a third of Ontarians
had a positive impression of Islam, and more than half believed that mainstream Islamic
teachings promote violence. Three-quarters said that Muslim immigrants have fundamentally
different values.
Keung, Nicholas "Ontario facing 'epidemic of Islamophobia' survey finds". Toronto Star (2016).
vA 2017 report shows 51% of Canadians support government surveillance of mosques as
compared to 46% of Americans.
Geddes, John “On one issue, Canadians are a lot less tolerant than Americans” Maclean’s Magazine (2017)
