Hate crimes against Asians are way up
Hate crimes against Asians reported to the SPVM are way up since Covid. Sadly, this is not unusual, similar stories being reported from other cities in North America and Europe.
Here, even some Inuit have experienced anti-Asian gestures, and one of the earliest attacks reported here was against a Korean academic who’d come here to do some research at Concordia.

Anti-Asian racism attacks have been higher per capita in Canada than the US, but the level of violence has been more extreme in the US. There has been a spate of recent violent attacks against elderly Asians in the US, which has rattled many of my Asian-American colleagues. Face slashing, beatings and knocking old people down simply just for walking on the street.
