    You’re right, but there’s a reason why Canadians don’t talk about their “founding fathers” the way Americans do.

    I don’t know how many other countries are the same way.

    The first PM was explicitly racist against indigenous people, and IIRC, the country was explicitly founded on the basis of white supremacy over indigenous peoples.

      That’s true for a lot of places, it’s just that Canadians recognize that.
