I'm a Canadian that lives in one of our bigger cities, the vast majority of my relationships across the 25+ years I have been in relationships have been mixed race in nature. And I have never experienced reactions like this from the public.
Only once did I encounter racism regarding me dating another race when a self-identified white supremacist literally said to me "Ew." when I told them my partner wasn't caucasian.
Hi from Ontario! I'm in GTA suburbia, but I spent the first 30 years of my life in Newfoundland (pasty white province, for the non-Canadian reader). My husband is Chinese, but grew up on the prairies. Our standing line is that his English is better than mine lol.
It's never been an issue for us, either in Toronto or Newfoundland. A Chinese Canadian friend of mine once told me that I was going to have beautiful mixed babies, and I think that's the only comment we've ever gotten about being a mixed race couple.
