Measuring the Canadian news media’s great awokening

… Terms displaying the starkest increase in prominence between 2010 and 2021 are those relating to gender-identity prejudice, which saw a staggering 2,285 per cent increase. In contrast, terms referring to sexual orientation prejudice have actually mildly decreased in prevalence since their 2011 peak. Terms referring to sexism or Islamophobia peaked near the middle of the decade, while others, like racism or transphobia, seem to have peaked later in the decade. Notably, references to antisemitism do not display a clear upwards post-2010 trend.

Different but as nutty as the press anywhere.
