I don't expect they'll ever really act with sincerity on that. I'd be so happy to be wrong, but I think the liberalism on which colonial Canada is based (and much of the rest of the global holders of power) includes dishonesty as an implicit feature. People aren't equal in terms of how they matter. They'll make all sorts of weird definitions up about equality that don't involve that, to justify how it's right that some people get much more, many don't have enough, and very few matter when it comes to decision making. To be fully accountable is perilous to liberalism as it has manifested to this day.
