The United Nations anti-racism watchdog find racisim and discrimination triving in Canada.
"The 16-member group also expresses concerns over the heightened risks of discrimination resulting from increased national security measures, including the Anti-Terrorism Act and the use of security certificates.
Canada should continue to review its national security measures, the report says, and undertake "sensitization campaigns" to protect people from being labeled as terrorists.
Canada is also taken to task for not making sufficient progress in tackling discrimination against aboriginals, who they say continue to face discrimination in employment and are under-represented in public offices and government positions.
The report also accuses the police of using a disproportionate amount of force against African-Canadians and says that there is a disproportionately high rate of incarceration of aboriginals."
