To say Canada is a colonizer is not correct.

Isn’t Canada what it is today because it was colonized and the precursor to the country and its foundation was built upon subjugation and taking foreign lands? You said Canada did not do this but I argue the country would be a country without doing exactly that.
France is in this issue because of its culture and segregation within its borders. The more I see these issues the more I lean to the melting pot method that the US employed. All cultures should come together and continue to build off one another and create mixed culture and backgrounds rather than promoting segregation. Not that the US is without its issues but I argue that is more due to racial ones than cultural ones.
