That is a distorted Liberal view bursting at the seams with virtue signal.
Starting a new country is not how you preserve Liberty. Simply taking (actually conquered + signed treaties but Liberals like to re-write history) land and subjugating people lacking technology and immunity to diseases is not how you defeat tyranny.
It's not uncommon these days to see Westerners painting the founding fathers of America as bad men in order to discredit their ideas of freedom and how to preserve it. They think rest of the world was peaceful and never invaded or took advantage of another tribe's weakness.
The people in charge in Canada are actual tyrants. Downplaying their actions and pretending they're a minor inconvenience will only nurture tyranny and help it grow.
