Seven in 10 Black Canadians have experienced racism on a regular or occasional basis, suggests a preliminary study that experts are calling a “first step” toward dismantling systemic discrimination.
Researchers at York University released early findings Friday from a national survey examining how Black Canadians experience race and racism across social spheres.
The interim report, produced in partnership with the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, draws from the responses of roughly 5,500 participants, including about 1,800 Black people, between March 21 and May 5.

Feel like you re suffering from face blindness? Research shows masks change the way we process faces
TORONTO, Dec. 21, 2020 - Ever want to walk over to say hello to someone but you re not sure the person behind the mask is in fact someone you know? Researchers at York University in Toronto and Ben-Gurion University in Israel say you re not alone. A new study, led by researchers in the Faculty of Health and VISTA (Vision Science to Applications) program at York, finds that our ability to recognize faces is severely impaired by masks, and this decreased face perception is impacting our social interactions with others.
