Canada itself is a colonial apartheid state.

Was? Colonial settlement was not pretty, and our history is supremely fucked up, so while I dislike the use of apartheid specifically, the essence is there.

Is? Absolutely not. Fuck off with this propagandist take. You should be embarrassed to be comparing the genuine atrocities of the past/parts of the world with the current state of Canada.

No, not was, it is an apartheid state today occupying unceded indigenous land. Don't pretend it's history. And not only is Canadian state committing crimes against native people here, but Canadian mining companies engage in literal slavery in Africa. https://theconversation.com/slavery-charges-against-canadian-mining-company-settled-on-the-sly-148605

You're either an utter ignoramus or spreading propaganda here intentionally. Either way, kindly take your own advice there and fuck off with your colonizer apologia.

The Canadian governments are constantly trying or doing breaches of first nations sovereignty
