You are exactly correct. Constructive acts build culture. Building bridges between cultures leads to fusions of art and cuisine that beget even more culture.
Colonizers are the opposite of constructive. They are destructive. Colonizers invade, exploit, ostracize, and take. They subtract. You cannot build a stable culture on subtraction.
Canadians get the worst of both worlds. Not only did they invade and desecrate, they decided to adopt two colonizer cultures and name it their own. Two negatives do not make a positive here. Reparation and recognition laws are barely middle age by people standards and they’re already being ignored. Forgotten. Disregarded as inconvenient. None of them can smell the earth over their unending greed for the dollar.
