Far-less extreme? Why? Just because they loudly profess it?

  Any way you want to measure it, it is less extreme.

This is actually not true and it's just like myth propaganda propagated by Canada. The Royal mounted police are deeply murderous to native people till today. that's just a single example. in the same way that the American media blames every black man murdered by the police so does the Canadian. That's because both countries are based on the continued enforcement of white supremacy.

  'Starlight Tours' are a sordid stain in Canadian history, however, I don't see how that makes it untrue or a myth. Even if the RCMP is demonstrably bad, Ontario and Quebec have their own provincial police forces, and so do a few large municipalities. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon_freezing_deaths https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon_freezing_deaths
