I'm reading through the CPC's programme right now (I know) and it's curious that they seem to perceive the Indigenous struggle for self-determination as primarily a struggle against 'Capitalist' Canada and ignore that a settler 'socialist' government is still a settler government

Also absent from their analysis seems to be literally any First Nations west of Toronto. They also seem to explicitly state that the Quebecois and Acadiens will be granted the right to secede, but only make a passing mention of extending it to First Nations.

Which raises some questions: do they consider our nations to be nations? Do they go beyond 'preferential treatment in housing and employment' for Indigenous people? Why is the emphasis on settler nations or nations born out of settler colonialism but not the nations whose lands

have been stolen?

Another thing that grinds my gears is conceiving of Canada as 'dependent' on US Imperialism. Is it really? Canada isn't its own imperialist power that also has relations of interdependence with other imperialist powers?
