Maplewashing 

Maplewashing refers to a tendency by Canadian governments, institutions, and media to perpetuate the notion that Canada is morally superior to other countries, thus sanitizing and concealing negative historical and contemporary actions.

By engaging in maplewashing, Canada downplays its complicity in the exploitation of natural resources in developing countries, masking its role in perpetuating global inequality and environmental destruction. This practice also obscures the country’s ongoing violations of indigenous sovereignty and the disastrous impacts of colonialism. Furthermore, Canadian politicians often use maplewashing to present the nation as a humanitarian leader while simultaneously enforcing harsh immigration policies that disproportionately target refugees and asylum seekers from marginalized backgrounds. Additionally, maplewashing serves to conceal Canada’s significant contributions to the global arms trade, thereby hiding its involvement in fueling conflicts and human rights abuses worldwide.
