Canadian society has historically been and continues to be a swinging pendulum between feigned tolerance and outward aggression to an Indigenous peoples and racialized communities. While Canada claimes to embrace being a mosaic that highly values multiculturalism and religious pluralism, its politicians and citizens have often actioned the opposite.

It is incredibly telling about the state of overcriminalization in Canada that one has to resort to searching the police archives for evidence of Black communities' existence.

The land was so well cared for by Indigenous nations for thousands of years it appeared to be untouched, further bolstering the idea of terra nullius, the settler colonial concept that empty land can be acquired by occupation, based on the colonial mentality of property ownership defined by visible, permanent infrastructure...but does a nation need to be seen by a European state in order to exist? Canada argued yes.
