“The Good Canadian takes viewers behind the curtain and into the corridors of systemic inequity – from the Indian Act to residential schools, to modern-day family separation – to reveal the true face of a nation. Part investigation, part real-life horror story, part national reckoning, the film is told through the voices of those working on the frontlines of a destructive, racist system. It fuses shocking footage with detailed interviews with experts, advocates, whistleblowers, and politicians to challenge national myth making, while offering Canadians the chance to forge a new identity from the truth.” – APTN

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
