Colonization has not been altogether bad, unless you want to renounce Western medicine.  And caucasian Canadians themselves have been colonized by Britain and then by the US.  Immigrants too, for generations, have had their stories of challenges and biases.  My life, as a gay man born in 1953, has not been altogether easy--an understatement.  I have maintained a positive outlook, do not plead victimization, and pay a lot of taxes to subsidize other people's children.  I am thankful for the advantages we all have, living in our society.  Compare the unfolding Republican nightmare south of the border. Or China.  Or Russia.  Or many other countries.
