    It is a colonialist state after all. In the sense of “westward” settler colonialism rather than imperial colonialism (though it participates in that too).

    Because speaking out for colonialism raises the question of whether “Canada” should even exist.

    Decolonization necessitates the removal of the currently ruling government so obviously they wouldn’t support it.

      Yes: Everybody else
