You are making broad assumptions about the entire country of people which happens to be full of "Canadians" from different cultures.
Almost. I am making broad assumptions about people who positively identify with Canada because these are assumptions that, by identifying with and defending Canada's legacy, you self-associate yourself with. Obviously Canada is a diverse place. Canada even has anarchist federations! But when you choose to identify with the culture of the oppressor, I can freely use the assumptions, which that culture has spent so much time, money, and blood forcing to be the reality, about you.
You assume anyone who isn't from a country attacked by the US (Which Canada currently is)
Canada is not being attacked by the US. Yeah they're tariffing goods coming out of your country and they're harassing and detained Canadians at the border, but you aren't being militarily attacked.
does not get a say in the matter, ...
No I'm not weighting whether or not you get a say at all, I'm weighting the amount of patience I give people for saying things that are incorrect, bigoted, or wrong in any way. And it's not strictly being bombed by the US that's the condition: it's the person's material circumstances, what kind of danger they're in, mental state.
It's not even remotely unreasonable to be more patient with people who are going through hard times or are in distress.
and include everyone who isn't Indigenous or "Living in the inner city". (Racist, as I know who you are referencing here. Note: Many people from different backgrounds live in the "inner city" with many different experiences regardless of cultural origin.)
The wording I used was "even on the reservations or in the inner city" about people who I would have more patience with based on their location and material circumstances. Of course race is a huge part of that! And it's not racist to acknowledge that! But it's not the only part. For example, there are some black and brown people raised in suburban areas who are quite well off and adopt similar positions to the capitalist monoculture. For these people, I would have a lower patience compared to black and brown people living in the inner city or out in the country who are statistically more likely to be fighting harder than me against the system to survive. Similarly, there are a minority of white people raised in the inner city for whom I would have a higher patience than white people living in the suburbs, because even though white people have not faced a history of race-based discrimination, some white people continue to experience discrimination for their class, gender, sexuality, sometimes even their ethnicity (example: Irish, Italians, Jews).
Acknowledging the reality that people of different races are treated differently and thus are dealing with different circumstances is not racism! It's anti-racism! Get with the program!
Furthermore, inner cities in particular are marred by police violence and structural oppression. Some of that oppression is experienced invariantly with respect to race by anyone living in the inner city.
Like I was very clearly referring to people living in these locations, and I wanted to encode the subtlety that living in these locations can actually be to your detriment.
You ignore the fact that I am also from a visible minority group and lump me in with a group you know nothing about knowing nothing about me.
Canadians are not a minority in Canada. I actually don't know about if you are from any other minority groups. I didn't really get that far in your profile.
How do you feel about Indigenous Government structures?
No one is free until we're all free. I am a settler and I'm not an expert on Indigenous governing structures, which is admittedly a blind spot. Otherwise, I defer to Indigenous voices about Indigenous issues. For an Indigenous anarchist perspective, see the "Indigenous Sovereignty" section of the following article for a much more subtle discussion about the topic than I could possibly give right now. Yes, even anarchists have problems with settler colonialism, myself included despite my best efforts.

Alternatively, if you have some reading material about Indigenous sovereignty I'd love to check it out. Anecdotally, I have noticed the rise of a very careful Indigenous Anarchist current since the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline gained traction.
