You've got a guy here who just reveled in the death of a trespasser and suggested in public that he'd like to murder someone if given the opportunity. Citing that as a demonstration of a national attitude racism towards indigenous peoples that leads you to hate the whole country seems to me to be a bit of a stretch.

It's even more of a stretch because the guy who got hit by a ricochet outside Okotoks was white.
I'd say that people not speaking up wasn't a demonstration of people not standing up for him, but a case of people ignoring an idiot. And while he certainly didn't start the whole encounter, he had no issue engaging and escalating the situation. It also seems pretty clear he was willing to start a fight with the guy who was running his mouth.
