There was a shift in the 80s with civil rights and etc.You probably weren't being very serious but as a non-white Canadian I felt like I had to respond. Canada does not define itself as some kind of euro ethnostate. In fact, it is unique in that it is officially multicultural. Justin Trudeau's father brought in the Multiculturalism Act in 1988. The current Trudeau even once said that there is no specific Canadian culture and was criticized by conservatives. There was an attempt to culturally genocide indigenous peoples but that is not unique to Canada. The interaction with First Nations was overall less violent than the rest of the Americas. They make up 5% of the Canadian population compared to I think 2% in the States. Canada also has a much higher percentage of foreign born residents than the US and one of the highest per capita immigration rates in the world.
Sorry that you have had bad interactions with Canadians though. Also, I agree that what happened in Parliament recently was disgraceful.
I think what he was referring to was the deliberate policy of encouraging Anglosaxon immigration over all others. For example, Canada had a Chinese Head Tax to curb immigration from 1885, riots against Chinese in 1900s and a full Chinese Exclusion Act from 1923 to 1947. While this status is not particularly different from the Americans (one can argue that the US' own Indian boarding schools were equally horrifying), the hypocrisy elsewhere was astounding. During all this time British immigration was always given privileged status and this continued well into the 20th century. Clifford Sifton, Minister of the Interior from 1896 to 1905 deliberately encouraged, through advertising campaigns, immigration from Anglosaxon Britain and US to settle the Canadian West, and the Anglican Church was sent to encourage "British values" even among other European ethnicities who migrated. In terms of ethnocentrism, the Canadians came close to the White Australia policy in its economic absurdity and unfairness. Maybe the new Canadian policy has improved things somewhat (and I do not agree with the suggestion that the situation is better in the US) but is it really praiseworthy? I would argue that allowing other cultures to sprout around Canada has not changed either the Anglo-Canadian or Franco-Canadian self-perceptions as the "true" Canadians to the exclusion of the other and all else.You probably weren't being very serious but as a non-white Canadian I felt like I had to respond.

You must remember that, to millenials and post-millenials, nothing that occurred before 1985 matters. Only the things they’ve experienced, personally, or, at-best, second-handed, are of any consequence. All that history stuff is for “Boomers”!I think what he was referring to was the deliberate policy of encouraging Anglosaxon immigration over all others.

Actually, Vivek videos been going viral on TikTok and gaining a lot traction. He is a scary grifter, like Ben Shapiro, who can talk fast with big words and confidently lie in your face.
Vivek: Bet on India to Checkmate China.
Vivek Ramaswamy got zero chance of getting elected. He probably is the only one that spoke aloud to the fact that Taiwan is on sale.
Seems like Vivek has a better chance then we expect. 2028 for republicans could be between DeSantis and Vivek.
DeSantis (33%) only has a 8 point lead against Vivek (25%) as a 2nd candidate
Watch out Americans, this Vivek guy is high on the CCP-made "digital fentanyl":Jai Bharat! I look forward to a future where every Five Eye Country is run by a Bharatis leader.
Maybe this is what Sitting Bull saw in his vision before Wounded Knee. Wrong kind of Indian and wrong kind of buffalo though…
