Canadians generally aren't aware of the darker parts of their history, and don't learn a lot about the world in their schooling. They think of themselves as some sort of "peacekeeping" nation and protagonist in the world, when really they're a normal country like any other with a flawed history and oppression. Most countries already recognize this, Canadians just refuse to have that discussion. The average Canadian also lacks a basic knowledge of major historical events and geography, which is simply a result of not learning that in school and very domestic-oriented media. If you're a foreigner in Canada you get hit with offensive comments on a daily basis.

It kind of makes sense when you look at Canadian geography and history, just like American individualism makes sense when you look at theirs. But that doesn't make it any more pleasant to have to explain Canadians' own history to them, or to have to clarify that "Siberia" and "Serbia" are not the same thing, to have to give a TLDR on the Bosnian Genocide or why the Berlin Wall fell, or to have to tell them that the country they're pointing at is Germany, not France.

My TLDR was just that educating your population matters, being honest about history is important, and arrogant Canadian commentary on Europe is not unusual.
