A new report by the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) suggests that racial profiling is a daily experience for many racialized and Indigenous people in Ontario, arguing that the province is at a "critical juncture" when it comes to addressing the issue. "This report confirms what racialized communities have known for generations: racial profiling is real," said OHRC Chief Commissioner Renu Mandhane in the report. "Rebuilding trust requires concrete action to address racial profiling in all its forms." The research found that racial profiling causes "considerable harm" to individuals, their families and the wider community. Report authors also consulted with with legal and academic researchers, educators, human rights practitioners and police officers.
