The Rainbow score for each province or territory in Canada is determined by the policies and laws currently in place in that jurisdiction, across four key domains: Equality & Nondiscrimination, Family, Gender Recognition, and Civil Society. Two additional domains - Hate Crimes and Hate Speech, and Asylum - are only applicable at the federal level.
