In political discourse (aside from Harper and at times Quebec) xenophobia is much rarer than the US, for now. However, that's not to say xenophobia doesn't exist. Vancouver (Hongcouver) has a rather large Anti-Asian population growing. You can see this in activist groups popping up like Putting Canada First, in the Vancouvercourier's opinion section, and other papers. They're commonly blamed for the skyrocketing real estate market. Then you have the complaints they are 'taking all the University spots' etc. You could say because it's full of foreigners, xenophobia is gaining more traction. Exactly the same thing is happening here in Sydney and Melbourne regarding Chinese nationals property speculating, buying up real estate for grossly inflated prices to price other prospective buyers out of the market, which does obviously push up values, and Asian students taking up university places en masse. And yet most of the xenophobia if you will, seems to be about muslims.... Interesting. I can't think it will all end well. |
