Most people aren't aware of these things, they are too busy wrapping themselves in the flag and indulging in how much better they are as a country/society as compared to Americans/other. Propaganda of ones national identity is a powerful tool that helps keep things veiled. Questioning these things in the wrong company can be met with highly charged, if not violent results. You can barely talk about not liking hockey or Tim Hortons, let alone institutional crimes lol.
Every country has those kinds of issues. The awareness of the populace is the only thing that varies.
There's probably no group in Earth's current phase where the powerful people at the top of a government, industry or corporations have the best interests of the people at heart. If someone doesn't want a covid-19 vaccine, don't take it. It's your choice. But don't be under the illusion that the modern food industry is better than government or big pharma. Chemicals in the food, high carb contents, trans fat, dubious water supplies, air pollution- these are just some of the things that surround us that we have no control over.
And that's before we get to the next level of control, which is overt (often violent) discrimination against certain communities- it's not just Canada, it's all societies in this 3D existence.
