If Canada is an illegitimate 'colonial project,' then so is Turkey. The Ottomans took the region only 44 years before the first part of Canada (Newfoundland) was claimed by the Kingdom of England, and Turkey is the successor state to the Ottomans. Better yet, Canada's colonizers never stole any infrastructure, unlike the Ottomans, who did with the Hagia Sophia, a sacred and monumental Byzantine Christian cathedral built in 537 CE by Emperor Justinian I. This Church was one of the greatest engineering and architectural achievements of the ancient world: a massive dome, an innovative design, and the center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity for nearly 1,000 years. The only reason Turkey has its ancient, grand vibe today is because the Ottomans seized, preserved, and repurposed what the Christian Byzantines and earlier Romans and Greeks had built, most famously converting Hagia Sophia and countless churches into mosques, while reducing the original Christian population to second-class dhimmi status, subjecting them to restrictions, special taxes, and periodic persecution, and eventually driving most of them out altogether. In contrast, in the region now Canada, the British and French settlers encountered no comparable infrastructure. No cathedrals, no stone cities, no aqueducts, no large-scale administrative buildings, no writing systems, no wheeled vehicles, no iron metallurgy, and so on. We cleared forests, built farms, towns, roads, ports, railways, and institutions from scratch on a landscape with low population density (only ~200,000 Indigenous people in the entire region) and pre-state-level tribal societies. The Indigenous people were not treated by the settlers as the dhimmi were treated by the Ottomans. Instead, they were granted exclusive reserves where White settlement was legally prohibited, treaty rights, and a distinct legal status designed to protect them from full demographic absorption by the settler majority. The exclusive demonization of the British and French settlers of Canada, and of the British in other parts of the Anglosphere, speaks volumes about what makes a country's claim valid in the eyes of the world. Those conquerors who are abusive, merciless, without compassion, devoid of merit in producing the fruits of civilization, and so on, are idealized, and their claims are considered legitimate, while those who dare to take the opposite path are heretically condemned as 'original sinners' by their own States. The Turks do not apologize for the Conquest of Istanbul (May 29, 1453). Each anniversary, they celebrate the fall of the Byzantines with official events, mehter bands, parades, fireworks, official speeches, and national Islamic pride, framing it as a glorious achievement for their people.
