As of this year in July (2018), there were three reports of acts of hate which led the police to believe that they were acts of Racism. On July 13, an Indigenous man in Thunder Bay, Ontario. was allegedly assaulted because of his nationality. Two days later, in Toronto, Ontario, 19-year-old Janis Corhamzic and 27-year-old Adem Corhamzic assaulted a 39-year-old Muslim man. According to his wife, his condition was so serious that he required surgery to stop brain hemorrhaging because of the facial fractures of the beating.
Two days after this incident, a video shot by Katie Pocasangre Montoya, was posted on Facebook showing a white man preventing another man of colour, from leaving a local grocery store in London, Ontario, accusing him of being an "illegal alien". He called the police for them to come and make an arrest. The man kept terrorizing the man of colour by telling him if he's afraid to be deported and asked him to show his Canadian documentation. In the video, the man tells him if he leaves the store he will conduct a ‘citizen’s arrest’ on behalf of the police.
