I’d like people to understand that imperialism and colonialism are current, not a distant memory.
Canadians rarely recognize it.
The rage it produces in indigenous communities makes it difficult to be heard by the rest of Canada. Whites only perceive irrational anger.

But it’s not irrational. It’s fuelled by fear of being theon back into abject poverty and another 150-200 years of suffering for their children and all future generations.
And that’s if there are future generations.
CPC and Canadian conservatives are committed to imperialism.

That’s the central narrative of Canada.
Canadians are perceived to be willfully ignorant and providing tacit approval to continue the elimination of any hope for indigenous people, the transfer of wealth to white wealthy conservatives and/or corporations and cultural divisions.

Indigenous people are perceived to be lazy, anti capitalist, radical and extremist, obstructive of mainstream culture and economics and imbued with entitlement to other’s wealth in perpetuity.
Neither of these descriptions is remotely true outside of small subgroups of fringe members of each extreme.
They are constructed to create fear, anxiety and distrust. To keep cultures polarized & separate.
It’s identity politics.
A wedge in progressive political unity.

Conservatives are masters at political leveraging of identity politics.
Most people don’t even realize they’re being manipulated.
This is what helped Trump win the 2016 presidential election.
CPC and UCP use it every day to keep the electorate divided.
