That’s a great oversimplification. I’m sure Palestine has their own Queenston Heights and Israel pays for college.
Or maybe don’t dilute whats going on in Palestine by lumping different things in with it.
The core philosophy of how the country was founded is the same: impose a certain culture and way of life on peoples who wanted nothing to do with you, kick them off the land they’ve lived on for generations and move your own people there. And it’s not like we didn’t commit our own genocide, why are there so few Indigenous people nowadays? Canada is one of the oldest colonial countries so most of the truly ugly stuff happened long before you or I were born (still, not that long ago), but it is still something Indigenous people are struggling with. Obviously Israel is worse in the present day, obviously Canadians are more apologetic about it, obviously the average Canadian now is not playing nearly as active a role in the colonialism (again, due to most of the ugly stuff happening some time ago) and Canada is not currently committing something as bad as a genocide, but if you look at histories of countries as a whole it’s pretty similar. Also, I was referring to specifially the government of Canada criticizing Israel, because it gives them an excuse not to change how Canada is governed, which in case you haven’t noticed is also screwing over non Indigenous Canadians and is absolutely not working for anyone but the rich.
