Our first Prime Minister " The Father Of Confederation " -
Sir John A. MacDonald has become the lightning rod

This statue has been removed now - it's supposed to

Doing a little looking, it appears most of your Indigenous people are
out west, similar to here, until they discovered casinos, then
"Indians" started crawling out of the woodwork in the North East, even
when their tribal connections were dubious at best.


Nope.
You are not even close to describing Canada's situation.

The stereo-types that you are describing -
are the root of the problem - big time.

Easy lob-bombs though - but totally ignorant.
