How many have had the same experience?

Go to any Canadian subreddit, even "leftist" ones, and open a thread about Indigenous rights or issues and holy shit. Really shows how Canada thinks exactly like Israel and how we come from the same philosophy of colonialism and replacement.
"They should be glad we didn't do worse to them."
"It's time to just accept being Canadian and adopt our ways like everyone else, stop trying to assert your own cultural identity, we're all sick of it."
"It's colonialism for them to say the land I rightfully bought from another white guy belongs to them, actually. What about that poor innocent white family whose home is getting taken from them? Two wrongs don't make a right so obviously you can't reassert your sovereignty on land we stole from you!"
"HURR DURR FAKE GRAVES HURR DURR NONE WERE EXHUMED HURR DURR GO DIG THEM UP BECAUSE WE GET TO TELL YOU HOW TO MOURN FOR THE VICTIMS OF OUR GENOCIDE!"
"I swear if I see another street or community centre with another one of their gibberish names with characters I refuse to learn how to pronounce. I thought we killed their stupid language already, why is the government trying to bring it back?"
"Everyone else is elbows up ready to build this pipeline, stop holding us back you savages!"
You know, I used to think we might be able to work something out after decolonization, but honestly there's no hope and they're completely justified in telling every single one of us to GTFO as soon as they take their land back.
