Canada has a racism problem: AFN National Chief – APTN

OTTAWA–Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde says Canada has a racism problem across the country.

Bellegarde was responding to a cover story by Maclean’s magazine claiming Canada has a bigger race problem than the U.S. The story focused on Winnipeg claiming racism in the city was the “ugliest” in the country.

Bellegarde said he saw racism as a national problem.

“I think we have to do a lot more to address it,” said Bellegarde, in an interview with Nation to Nation to air later Thursday. “It is not in any particular region, it is right across Canada.”
