Canada one of the most ethically diverse cultures in the world (250 ethnic orgins) Ethnicity a person"s ethnic traits, classification or association based on culture and perceived race. Ethnic group a group of people who not only share an ethnic background but also interact with each other on the basis of their shared ethnicity. Stats can: ethnic origin: refers to the ethnic or cultural origins of the person"s ancestors. Stats can highlights: 4/10 more than one origin. Quebec primarily focused on data on ethnic and linguistic categories. Rest of canada, focus is on combo of ethnic and racial self-classification and enumeration of a unique category it calls visible minorities . Evidence about the relationship between ethnicity and health in canada is sparse. In canada, the impacts of racism on health appears to be somewhat attenuated due to our single-payer health care system, but the impacts are still there in the scant evidence that is available (more research urgently needed)
