Because speaking out against colonialism raises the question of whether "Canada" should even exist.
Decolonization necessitates the removal of the currently ruling government so obviously they wouldn't support it.

It is a colonialist state after all. In the sense of "westward" settler colonialism rather than imperial colonialism (though it participates in that too).

Not at all. You'll notice basically the entire EU abstained. Ireland's government is very neoliberal and is aligned with everything that the EU and NATO want. Ireland wants to be part of "the West" and so it has to be pro-colonialist and pro-imperialist. The days when Ireland was a bastion of anti-imperialism are long gone. Anti-imperialist Ireland died when they signed off on the Good Friday Agreement.
