This report explores how hate speech and bigotry circulate in Canada’s digital spaces, fuelling division, targeting vulnerable communities, and eroding trust in democratic institutions. It shows how conspiracy theories and extremist rhetoric often reinforce these narratives, while foreign information manipulation and interference magnify their reach. Together, these dynamics normalise discrimination, drive polarisation, and increase the risk of offline harm. The findings underscore the urgent need for resilience strategies that strengthen social cohesion and protect democratic life.
