I was aware of the abuses agains indigenous Canadians, but it doesn't compare to the US. Maybe not without but certainly less. "Higher numbers of hate crimes targeting a race or an ethnicity (+12% to 1,950 incidents) and a sexual orientation (+12% to 491 incidents) accounted for most of the increase in 2022. In 2022, hate crimes targeting a religion were down 15% from 2021 yet remained above the annual numbers recorded from 2018 to 2020." https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/240313/dq240313b-eng.htm https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/240313/dq240... Compared to 6,567 in the US during the same year. https://www.justice.gov/hatecrimes/hate-crime-statistics https://www.justice.gov/hatecrimes/hate-crime-statistics Per capita values are indeed higher for Canada due to the population difference.

These numbers can also go up if police do their job better and people trust them more and feel it worthwhile to report. Both are law-enforcement-provided, versus crime victim statistical surveys which are more accurate for the number of crimes committed (not just reported); though having their own drawbacks, of course.
