Abstract

The author turns to the aspect of the development of the pandemic in Canada, which rarely becomes the focus of attention of political reviewers of the COVID-19 strategy of the Canadian government of J. Trudeau – the situation in visible ethnic communities and among first-generation immigrants from South Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, etc. The universal multicultural strategy of the Government of Canada has left these groups underrepresented and, thus, made them marginal from the socio-political standpoint, which resulted in an increase in infection and mortality rates among them. The federal and regional governments” official documents and independent surveys in Canada have been analyzed including the opinions of Canadian specialists in medicine, politics and sociology for the period from 2020 to 2021. Canada's experience may be applicable for planning antivirus measures in other regions of the world.
