Q: Is Canada even a serious country?
A:
Good Question. It depends on what a country means to you.
Initially, Canada consisted of a few confederated colonies. It looked like a country, but essentially a larger integrated colony. For example, every year it has Remembrance Day. Canadians were a popy flow. The poppy flower is to remember World War I. But World War I was in Europe, not in Canada. Canadian soldiers fought for the British Empire. Canadians are serious about wearing poppy flowers on Remembrance Day. And all media pop up the stories of World War I. In essence, Canadians identify themselves as citizens of an empire living in a colony.
Its foreign policies are the continuation of the colony. It puts the suzerain empire’s interest above the Canadian national interest, the character of a colony. The only difference is that before World War II, it served the British Empire, and since the Korean War, it has served the US Empire. In World War II, Canada joined the war with the Battle of Hong Kong, protecting a British colony. Canada sent troops to the Korean War, serving the US empire. You go to every town in Canada, you will find monuments dedicated to those who died in the two World Wars and the Korean War. Canadians are proud that they fought for their zuzerain empires.
The Canadian Constitution is actually a British law. It is the British North America Act of 1867. The Canadian Constitution also includes the Royal Proclamation of 1763, the Quebec Act of 1774, and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of 1982. Three of the constitutional documents are British laws. Canada is a constitutional monarchy. And the monarch is the British king. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms was a result of bargaining with Quebec after the Quebec Referendum. The 1982 Charter recognizes all three constitutional documents in history, and granted many privileges to Quebec and the indigenous people. If a constitution has to name French-speaking people and indigenous people, it indicates that Canada has not yet had a common identity. In other words, we have a Canadian country but do not have a Canadian people yet. The ruling elites of Canada identify themselves as colonialists of a suzerain empire, some Canadians identify themselves as Québécois, and some identify themselves as the First Nation, Metis, or Inuit. Those Canadians who really identify themselves as Canadian because they cannot identify themselves in any of the categories mentioned above are labeled as immigrants and are discriminated against.
This is a big problem. Those privileged Canadians do not identify themselves as Canadian and discriminate against those who identify themselves as Canadian. Those with colonists' psychi say that they are Canadian. They represent the Canadian tradition of a colony. Their birth rate is low. The Canadian economy cannot sustain itself without new immigrants from outside Europe because Europe has the same problem. Yet immigrants from outside Europe are not considered Canadians, even after they are naturalized. The colonists who hold dual citizenship: Canada and the Zuzerain Empire, discriminate against those who are not white and have sole citizenship of Canada.
Is Canada a serious country? No. Why not? Because its colonial legacy is well alive.
