Anyone who thinks that Canada doesn't have a racist past and doesn't have a fairly racist culture is fooling themselves. Everyone pats themselves on the back about not having slaves and the slave trade ignoring the fact that the difference lies in Canada well didn't have slaves for as long as the USA. There were still slave in Canada I do believe.
At the same time look at our governments method of dealing with aboriginals... hell we pretty much tried to distroy their culture... and that wasn't ancient past. That was 30-40 years ago....
Canada it is sad to say is not a very tollerant nation, well at least not to the degree that we often think of ourselves.
