 People generally only find out when it happens to them.  Otherwise, they just find excuses to not get involved.  They do love to virtue signal, though, because Canadians pride themselves on being "nice" (when it's really just passive aggression). 
 Actually we are usually pretty nice here, LOL. But that can be true plus the fact that there's a tendency to passive aggression too. 

I find most people can't bear what's happening and aren't taking note of the worst horrors we have here. Being nice doesn't affect the baddies unless it means treating them with unthinking lenience. 
 I was born and raised there.  So I know whereof I speak.  I do hope you are correct that most people are opposed but too afraid to speak up.
