Ageism is widely prevalent and stands as the most socially accepted and tolerated form of discrimination in Canada. Similar to sexism or racism, ageism is a form of discrimination that judges individuals based on their age. It can manifest at any stage of life, irrespective of one's age, leading to prejudiced assumptions about a person's background, abilities, and mental or physical condition, solely based on age perceptions.
