Most people in power will never want settler colonialism to end, anywhere, for if it ends in one place it may end in another until it gets to them. Why would they want this? How do you think they got power in the first place? It's times like this you see where their loyalty lies.

Anti-Indigenous racism in healthcare: it's so insidious that even the major report on it (In Plain Sight) was led by a person who made a career on being Indigenous while she wasn't (Turpel-Lafond). Zionists are heavily engaged in this self-indigenization as a "move to innocence".
Terrifying: 555 doctors from U of Toronto wrote a letter declaring their right to work openly as Zionists. As McGill U Prof Gil Troy wrote in his White supremacist letter, "These [doctors] had the Zionist impulse to defend Western civilization."

Canada will brutally crush any Indigenous resistance and then justify it via the rhetoric of "self-defense". All its political parties show this via their full support of Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Meanwhile, the corporate media will manufacture all the consent they need.
