no Canada does not support slavery, we haven't for a very very very long time. When slavery was still legal in the US, many slaves tried to escape to freedom in Canada via the 'underground railroad'.

1850s why did many escaped slaves flee to canada?

Many escaped slaves fled to Canada in the 1850s primarily due to the promise of freedom and the absence of slave laws. The passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 in the United States made it increasingly dangerous for escaped slaves, as it mandated the return of escaped slaves to their owners and imposed penalties on those assisting them. Canada, with its strong anti-slavery stance and established networks like the Underground Railroad, offered a safe haven for those seeking to escape the brutality of slavery. Additionally, Canada’s legal framework did not recognize slavery, providing a more secure environment for former slaves.
