At a time when the country’s youngest and oldest adults seem to be at odds on several topics, they find common ground on language
In December 2018, the long process to abolish the crime of “blasphemous libel” in Canada came to an end when Bill C-51 was granted Royal Assent by the Governor General.
Every two years, Research Co. and Glacier Media ask Canadians about the language they listen to, and use, in specific situations. Our latest survey shows a noticeable increase in the swear words that Canadians are hearing and saying. The use of swear words at the workplace outlines a generational gap. While only 36 per cent of Canadians aged 55 and over recall a co-worker swearing, the numbers climb to 58 per cent among those aged 18 to 34 and to 60 per cent among those aged 35 to 54.
To be perfectly clear, we are not witnessing a barrage of “bombs” in workplace chats, but the incidence is higher than two years ago, and age plays a role. Only 19 per cent of Canadians aged 55 and over acknowledge swearing when talking to co-workers, compared to 46 per cent among their counterparts aged 18 to 34 and aged 35 to 54.
