Polish people are publicly ridiculed for their nationality, names, etc., with utter impunity.
As are Chinese, Pakistani, Indian, indigineous peoples, and any other person of any "ethnic" background. I'm not aware of any mixed culture where tensions do not exist. It is not just a Polish thing.

Third World immigrants learn this racism from the Canadian natives with gusto
And they are victims of it as well, maybe that is where they learn it from...

How would you like to be served by a Chinese bank teller, barely speaking English
And how does that teller feel when someone asks her where she learned her "Engrish"? Just as bad as any one would feel who is the target of racist attitudes.

Canadian customs brutes treat Polish visitors as enemies - the brutes must be instructed by their superiors to do so, mustn't they?
Trust me, they are equal opportunity brutes. Good old "American as Apple Pie" colleagues who travel to Canada on business also are harrassed by them.

Canada seems the worst of all the American
This is like saying that Ireland is a province of Outer Mongolia.

seen as fellow human beings by the vast majority of people,
And I can assume by this statement that you have lived in a vast majority of the communities in Canada to come to this conclusion? I won't debate your particular experiences in Canada, but it is not as bad as you portray, In My Opinion.

Canadian government seems to wink at and encourage this perception
This is your perception, and I am sure you have had an individual experience to formulate this perception.

I am surprised that any Polish person is able to live in Canada.
Many do, and quite comfortably. It is difficult for all immigrants whose first language is not English to adapt, but if it were that bad, do you think they would send for their extended families to join them?

What the hell do we need Canada
Maple syrup, back bacon, and Hockey Players.

I have actually seen in Canada also types from Arabic countries putting down Polish people. As I have mentioned above, racism is contagious.
As I have seen Poles putting down Jews, Blacks and others. One rotten apple does not ruin the barrel.

national identity in this great sovereign country is American: the language, the schoolbooks, the TV, the fashion, the industry, you name it.
Language inherited from the English and the French, school books use metric, and reflect our "diverse" culture, TV - You got me there, Industry is industry, we all need to make stuff for our economies.

Your military, or rather lack of it, is also American: you reduce spending on the army knowing full well that in case of any attack against Canada the Yanks will defend you all the same.
. Years of Liberals in Power eviscerated the military. The Conservatives have started to take it more seriously, and started the reinvestment in the Forces. What kind of attack do we expect? Hordes of Chinese? What can you do about a million invaders, with a population of ~32 Million?, What are we going to do about errant Russian Missiles given our geographic position?

how horrible the Americans are. Hehe, when the Yanks boycotted the murderous Castro regime, you travelled to Cuba en masse for cheap cigars, prostitutes and liquor, believing you were thus opposing the Yank imperialism.... A nice loyal bunch you are indeed. :)
Just more Liberal, not Lap-dog.

In reality, you're an American state with a kind of special rights, special autonomy. Besides, you're torn apart culturally and ethnically: part of the place is (a funny jargon of) French-speaking Quebec, the other part so-called English (sic) Canada; both parts despise and hate each other wholeheartedly.
Couldn't think of
anything negative to say about Polish Politics / Society?

murdered with impunity by Canadian coppers
For the sake of Justice, not just Justice for Poles, but for simple Justice, I truly hope these RCMP Officers answer for what they have done.
