After the London Terror Attack that took away four members of the same Muslim family, our community has pushed hard for a free standing hate crime provision in our Criminal Code that delivers real accountability.
OTTAWA, ON, Feb. 26, 2024 The Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) supports the federal government's new Online Harms Act as a positive step in protecting everyone, including our youth and young adults, from online acts of hate, threats, and violence.
The Online Harms Act would establish a baseline standard to keep young people safe online and uphold freedom of expression. Now, more than ever, online platforms must take responsibility—and be held accountable—for protecting kids from the harms embedded within online platforms. Everyone in Canada deserves to be safe in all aspects of their lives, including online.
