If another damn Brit uses Canada as an example of a country they think doesn't suffer from colonialism I beg they do their research.

When Britain was placing its people here to rule the Indigenous People suffered a great deal and still do today. Government still drag their feet
yet have no problem using their culture to sell Canada. The terrible treatment felt today is the result of Canada's colonial past and present. I'm willing to bet Aborigines and other Indigenous peoples would agree. I'm white so I will not speak on their behalf and even I can see
and feel disparities.

UK does not know their own history so I advise them not to assume other countries where white people are the larger population do not have issues stemming from their colonial past.

And yes a great deal of Brits, my family included immigrated all those
years ago. And yes it was at the behest of the UK government to populate (read: steal) land from the natives.
Also my father's side is French so both sides of my family effed up majorly.
