"Getting?" Canada's racism is foundational. A bunch of trading corporations "given" supreme legislative authority over half of a continent that only became a country in order to cement the capital accumulation of railway investors who decided the best way to build their railways uninterrupted was slavery, primarily sino-immigrant labour, and torture schools with backyard mass graves. Literally had a "whites-only" immigration policy for like a hundred years, and now it's a points system that is held up internationally as a gold standard despite being nearly indistinguishable from the Kafala system in the Gulf.
Ah, sorry in certain activism circles it's pretty standard to continue to use that term (as well as Indian, rather than Indigenous) when trying to highlight Canada's history of institutionalized racism, I didn't consider how people in other contexts may just be unhappy/hurt to see the word. I've edited it.
You shouldn't be surprised, this is the country that overruled the Nuremberg Trials so that they wouldn't have to reckon with having recruited a shitload of Ukrainian nazis after WWII. You might remember the recent fuss about the entire Canadian House of Commons giving a standing ovation to one of them.
While the commission's final report stated that the numbers were grossly exaggerated, the report admitted that it had not investigated materials kept either in the Soviet Union or Eastern Bloc countries, and that it further had not investigated an addendum list of 109 names provided late in the inquiry. Further still, it was later revealed that the commission withheld evidence and ignored the findings of other war crimes trials, such as the Nuremberg trials.
Canada got by for a long time by an international reputation for being apologetic and polite, but if you want to see how bad it can get here, ask the average Canadian their feelings about first nations or immigrants. I would easily say 3/4 of this country believes immigrants are the reason for the intense cost of living crisis no matter how much proof or arguments to the contrary
Canada is a dollar store version of the US, they compensate for not being the united states by amplifying all the political and cultural trends from their southern masters.
Calling Canada a petro state is being generous, it’s an outpost for extraction. It’s a gulf state in becoming that has slavery but none of the UBI. It’s a financial sponge that perpetuates a real estate bubble. All of it is duct taped together with a “nation project” written by Mc Kenzie and Deloitte
Canada is legit what Milei’s argentina but for all political spectrum
Kkkanada is just as racist as the one below (living here as an east asian descent), they are a bit quieter in showing their overt racism while being very passive agressive as fuck (speaking specifically of majority of white Canadians) from my experiences along with the usual nazisms from the federal government.
Idk... they've been not only been constructed as cuck British settler-colonial nation that embraces fascists, but also are at the forefront of superseding Amerikkka in blindly accusing many countries (China, India, Russia, Iran) of foreign interference, and are the most pro-NATO puppets ("brave" when not facing the brunt)
God damn, something in this country must've been scratched HARD, in order to reveal its ass...
