French speakers and allophones whose native language is neither English nor French are more divided on the issue of historical injustices committed against indigenous peoples, according to the survey. By comparison, Jedwab noted, English speakers are somewhat more likely to disagree, with 49% disagreeing and 41% agreeing. “It suggests that some groups may be less firm in their views, or may interpret Canada’s historical injustices through different historical, linguistic, cultural or immigrant orientations.”
