Sometimes I think Canada is more interested in portraying itself as a progressive beacon to the world than actually being one.

Its attitude to seals is not very progressive: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/about-canadian-seal-...

Or the environment: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/alber...

Regarding seals, you are stepping into a debate which includes aboriginal rights. There is nothing clear cut about that one.

Now that you bring it up, the residential schools were pretty progressive too: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/24/world/canada/indigenous-c...

Last one closed in 1996.

These two examples are effectively cherry-picking two data points to make an extremely BROAD argument that "Canada is not Progressive".
