Unmasking Anti-Black Racism in Canada: What We Won’t Admit

Canada prides itself on fairness and diversity, but the evidence tells a different story. Anti-Black racism in Canada is not a rare failure—it is systemic design. Black Canadians face disproportionate discrimination in workplaces, policing, and justice. Nearly half report unfair treatment in hiring, pay, or promotion within the past year, and 90% identify the criminal justice system as a serious problem (York University, 2023; CRRF, 2023).

For executives, this is not just a social issue. It is a strategic liability. Organizations that ignore workplace racism in Canada face higher turnover, reputational collapse, and mounting legal risk. Traditional diversity initiatives fail because they lack enforcement, consequence, and accountability.

That is why Seattle Consulting Group developed Inclusion by Design™ – Workplace Diversity & Inclusion Training Canada | HR System Intensive and The Culture Execution Audit™. These proprietary solutions don’t deliver optics. They deliver enforcement. We embed equity into organizational systems with measurable outcomes tied directly to leadership accountability.

Anti-Black racism is pervasive. The question is not whether it exists—it’s whether leaders will act before their organizations become the next case study in failure.
