Either you believe that people should be responsible for the follies of their ancestors, under which assumption one might say that I should feel the 'white man's burden' and bleed myself in order that those who were downtrodden by my ancestors might be repaid

No no no!!!! Its about identifying with our ancestral government! And understanding that racist and self serving policy hasnt left parliment as one of the primary mandates of rule.
Im glad you brought up "white mans burden" Research into Canadian governments foreign policy of "the responsibility to protect" which is the current model and imperialistic experiment being conducted by the likes of Canada, the US, the UK, China, and France to name a few.
I believe you will find very little differences between the age old racism of the "white mans burden" and todays "R2P"
