Is ageism a big issue in Canada?

Yes, age discrimination exists in Canadian society, and it’s an issue here. People won’t confess it openly because of the regulations, but they do it secretly. For over 37 years, I’ve been a Professor of Art & Design, teaching and researching at top universities worldwide, the United States, Finland, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the Middle East, to name a few. Since our return to our homeland of Canada in October 2016, I’ve had a difficult time finding part-time work in Ontario to support my family! They didn’t explain why I was not given a position in a field with substantial expertise and a strong reputation. Canadian seniors experience prejudice in a variety of ways. They are at risk of financial exploitation, physical abuse, and social isolation. They’re usually financially challenged. It’s also easy to get away with since it’s difficult to prove.
