    As a Canadian there’s some merit to what they’re saying, IMO. Settler-colonialism and imperialism does inherently have a deep impact on a country’s psyche, and the mentality that comes out of it definitely plays a large role in ensuring the masses remain deeply and even irreconcilably divided, so long as the settler-state persists (and often well after as seen with South Africa).

    The violence that happens here might be less explosive- and even less rampant, due to not being quite on the same level of hellhole as the US- but it manifests itself all the same.

      cool but nothing u said has anything to do with this, while im sure the “settler colonial mindset” has some effect on something, Canada and Australia have the same mindset but they dont have the same problem clearly it is not the deciding factor as the original person said.
