IN SELF DENIAL FOR WHAT REASONS ?

IN SELF DENIAL FOR WHAT REASONS AND WHY ???

AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE TABLES AND STATISTICS ON THE CANADIAN ETHNIC GROUPS MOST OR THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION CAME FROM EUROPE DURING THE COLONIZATION AND AFTERWARD UNTIL THE THE LATER POST WAR DECADES.

How would anyone with some common sense would catalogue this guy ?
Is he in denial -- denying --his own family roots, that of his French descendant father : PM Pierre Elliot Trudeau and his own mother's Margaret Joan Sinclair Trudeau British ?

What about the huge majority of Canadians who are descendants from European people ?

Here we have the typical example of a demagogue, a hypocrite and at the same time either an ignorant of the History of Canada or a blatant demagogue trying to please those who are not the of the old stock of Canadians or Native aborginals who populated the country BEFORE the decade of 1950.

Or during the the Post War period ,when hundreds of thousands or EUROPEANS began immigrating from countries which were in dire ruin,misery and torn or devastated by the World WAR II.

That was the time when Canadians saw arriving , Jewish, Italians, Polish, British, French ,Greeks etc that could not find a way of living in that devastated Europe. If we go to the Statistics Canada and try to find out the numbers we would see the origins and numbers of those who have chosen Canada to be their new home.

BUT, further back in History the First Nations of Aboriginal people were already roaming through out all of Canadian territories.

Theoretically they came from Asia across the Bering straight in Alaska.

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE TABLES BELOW :

Ethnic origins of people in Canada

As data is completely self-reported, and reporting individuals may have varying definitions of "Ethnic origin" (or may not know their ethnic origin), these figures should not be considered an exact record of the relative prevalence of different ethno-cultural ancestries but rather how Canadians self-identify.

Statistics Canada projects that immigrants will represent between 24.5% and 30.0% of Canada's population in 2036, compared with 20.7% in 2011.

Statistics Canada further projects that visible minorities among the working-age population (15 to 64 years) will make up 33.7–34.3% of Canada's total population, compared to 22.3% in 2016.

Counting both single and multiple responses,

the most commonly identified ethnic origins were (2016):

The Canadian Constitution recognizes three groups of Indigenous peoples: First Nations, Métis and Inuit. These are three distinct peoples with unique histories, languages, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs.

More than one million people in Canada identify themselves as an Indigenous person, according to the 2006 Census.

During the long colonial rivalry between France and Great Britain, different First Nations groups were important allies to both European powers. France and Great Britain each wanted to secure strong alliances with these First Nations to secure their military control in North America.

After the transfer of New France to Great Britain, a Royal Proclamation was issued to establish the new administrative structure of the British North American colonies. For Indigenous peoples in Canada, the 1763 Royal Proclamation is the basis for the recognition of their Aboriginal rights to lands and resources.

As the military role of First Nations people waned in the eyes of British administrators after the War of 1812, new ideas and approaches regarding this relationship began to take hold. While treaties were being negotiated in the West, legislation was introduced in 1876 which would have a deep and long lasting impact on First Nations across Canada.

The Indian Act of 1876 was a consolidation of regulations that affected First Nations people living throughout the country. The push to "civilize" First Nations became the focus of legislation, and policies and amendments to the Indian Act became increasingly coercive and controlling of the lives of First Nations people.

As a result of the wording of Section 91 (24) of the British North American Act, which stipulates federal responsibility for "Indians" and no other Aboriginal group, Inuit in the then Northwest Territories fell outside the responsibility of the Department of Indian Affairs. After decades of pressure from the province of Quebec, Inuit officially became a responsibility of the federal government in 1939.

In 1982, the Métis population, who can trace their descendants to mixed First Nations and European heritage, were among the three groups included in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which recognized "existing Aboriginal and treaty rights".
