They should start with their PM, Captain Black Face
I'm pretty sure Canada should view a serial Black Facer as trying to intimidate minorities ie. "A hate crime"
What? The libs gotten into the Canadian woodwork too! I have only one thing to say but I'm lot allowed to so use your imaginations.
It isn't because of "the libs". It is because of geopolitical and economic circumstances.

You have it backwards. The great difficulty throughout history has been in holding the masses in subjection. The Romans were always fighting off rebellions. Authoritarian governments are rarely popular governments, and are constantly challenged by a breakaway or revolutionary minority or majority.
The strength of the United States has been our stability and the ability of this government to act without resistance. To centralizer power without revolt.

Or to put it another way, the strength of the United States is that we're an oligarchy that looks like a democracy. Thus the oligarchs can do what they want, and the people lay down and take it. It is "the will of the people".
The Federal government trying to educate people on systematic racism, and targeting the campaign in areas of the country that see the most hate crimes.
It is a fact that white men in that age group commit the most hate crimes, so it only makes sense to direct the campaign at that group.
The YWCA in Canada did a similar campaign earlier this year, but on a much smaller scale.
"Non-racialized" Canadians are are committing racial hate crimes?

In Canada the term racialized means
"Frequently referred to as 'visible minorities' the term 'racialized communities' emcompasses all people that are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour. Aboriginal peoples in Canada are sometimes excluded from this definition, but should not be."
So non-racialized are white, so yes. Aboriginals were not included in the term " visible minorities " but actually are in racialized communities.

It appears, your premise of this thread isn't correct and you've misunderstood the term.
So "non-racialized" just means white. Got it, thanks.
The thread title still seems accurate though. The intent of campaigns like this be they in Canada, the U.S or elsewhere, is to "racialize". People who might have seen being colorblind as a virtue and strived to treat everyone as an individual rather than a representative of some group, are shown the error of their ways.

You are very mistaken if you think this campaign is set up to change people who are colorblind.
This campaign is being set up to make people ask themselves if, for example, they are following my sister-in-law around the store because they have reason to believe she is a thief or if they are following her around the store because of her skin colour and facial features.

If so, then I have no problem with it. But I've seen many examples of "colorblind" being denounced. In America now, being colorblind is out of favor. Are things different in Canada?
Canada is a fairly insignificant country, who cares what they do?
