The Ontario Human Rights Commission has issued a new racism policy stressing the evils of subtle and systemic forms of discrimination.
It says discrimination may be detected "in organizational and government policies, practices, and procedures and 'normal ways of doing things'" as well as in overt acts of bigotry.
"It is time organizations and institutions acknowledge the reality of racism" It says such practices "may directly or indirectly, consciously or unwittingly, promote, sustain, or entrench" advantages for some people over others.
It also says racist behaviour cannot be hidden from trained observers.
"Individual acts themselves may be ambiguous or explained away, but when viewed as part of the larger picture and with an appropriate understanding of how racial discrimination takes place, may lead to an inference that racial discrimination was a factor in the treatment an individual received."
The new document, titled Policy and Guidelines on Racism and Racial Discrimination, is not binding on judges or human rights tribunal members but represents the commission's current interpretation of the Ontario Human Rights Code.
"It is time organizations and institutions acknowledge the reality of racism," Chief Commissioner Keith Norton said in a statement announcing it on Tuesday. They should "be prepared to act against subtle and sometimes subconscious prejudices and stereotypes that too often result in discrimination," he said.

Not necessarily. Some of us conservatives are heading for the lifeboats. Any more bunks on the USS Reagan? Eventually, we will build our own Canada. Canada as it used to be and should be again.
It's no different in Canada, specifically eastern Canada, pointedly Ontario, than it is here. The left demonise the conservative right. In fact, there hardly is a difference between NY, LA, and Toronto and other cities in that area, they are highy populated areas of leftwing moonbats; anti religion, anti capitolist, marxists.
We conservatives in North America have to stick together, borders don't matter. Because the moonbats in Canada are in power, and have been for over 12 years now, they provide good insight of what will happen to this country if they were ever to sieze power again. Canada is self destructing quickly, it's only a matter of time now that it breaks apart.

IN OTHER WORDS: It is time for all organizations and institutions to admit they are guilty of all racial policies and practices, as we " THE ANOITED" choose to define them.
