A new survey released by Environics finds the vast majority, 83% of Muslims feel very proud to be Canadian which has increased over the past decade.
84% believe Muslims in Canada are treated better than they are in other western countries which is up from 77% in 2006 but 35 per cent of Muslims report having experienced discrimination or been treated unfairly in the past five years, primarily due to their religion, ethnicity, language or gender.
90 per cent of Muslims are optimistic the Trudeau Government will bring about better relations with non-Muslims but young Muslims feel greater attachment to the Islamic faith and have concerns about discrimination.
