      Human rights enforcement in the UN?

      No: United States and Israel

      Yes: Everybody else

    Because speaking out against colonialism raises the question of whether “Canada” should even exist.

    Decolonization necessitates the removal of the currently ruling government so obviously they wouldn’t support it.

    It is a colonialist state after all. In the sense of “westward” settler colonialism rather than imperial colonialism (though it participates in that too).

      When you definitely understand what colonialism is and why the war in Ukraine started.
