Terry Glavin, "Canadians have no reason to be smug about race" (November 2014), The Ottawa Citizen These perceptions of inclusion and "colour-blindness" have been challenged in recent years, with scholars such as Constance Backhouse stating that white supremacy is still prevalent in the country's legal system, with blatant racism created and enforced through the law. The term "maplewashing" has been used to describe the promotion of an idealized image of the country that emphasises tolerance and inclusion while downplaying less flattering elements of its history. According to one commentator, Canadian "racism contributes to a self-perpetuating cycle of criminalization and imprisonment". In addition, throughout Canada's history there have been laws and regulations that have negatively affected a wide variety of races, religions, and groups of persons.
