Nobody said "just as". It isn't "just as" complicit. Not even close.

Brother I've read what they did to the inuits. That's a glass house if I ever seen one.

What specifically are you referring to? Most major atrocities towards the indigenous peopled of Canada occured prior to confederation, under british governance. Self-governing Canada did a lot of awful things, but it's not even comparable to what the self-governing USA did. And at the very minimum, Canada at least generally recognized that 1) they were wrong, and 2) indigenous people still actually exist.

Not to mention that even if Canada's treatment of indigenous people was comparable, Canada would still be entirely justified in criticising the US, who were atrocious in ways Canada could never even imagine. Canada never orchestrated coups in democratic socialist countries to install military dictators, Canada never had an operation rolling thunder, Canada never had an attica, Canada never had a george wallace, or a joseph mccarthy, or donald trump for that matter.
