Most Canadians today don’t care about what Chinese or Indian immigrants contributed historically, like building the railways or working in forestry. That’s stuff you’ll find in a history book and the majority of people aren’t aware of it, forgot what they learned in school or don’t care. Most opinions are shaped more by current events and what they see happening now.
