the government is not going to change anything. the entrenched policy for well over a hundred years has been slow assimilation. there have been minor changes - trudeau tried to make the process more transparent, mulroney tried to speed it up with blood quantum rules, harper has been pushing for the enforcement of property rights - but there has been no wavering from the purpose of the policy, and no reason to think there will be unless or until the social, political and economic systems in canada change at a systemic level.

in other words, canada is a colonial state and will continue to act like one until it is not one.
