If you think Canada is bad (and it sure is), you should see how the US treated its indiginous peoples.
WHAT? JUST BECAUSE WE ROUNDED THEM UP AND PUT THEM IN CAMPS WITH NO FOOD OR WATER WE'RE THE BAD GUY???
we HAD to do that, we had HUNTED their primary FOOD SOURCE in to OBLIVION.
"Treats," current tense.
“Starlight tours” are still a thing in Canada.
Cops still don’t give a shit about missing and murdered indigenous women, whether you are in the US or Canada.
"There is an even worse place" is really not a good argument.
I mean if we're going to discuss statements of fact we could also include Europe's history of colonial exploitation. But I'm on board with just ribbing the US for now.
Having to dig up old stuff and again pointing at other places is again a miss.
It may seem old to you because your privilege allows you to forget. Ask indigenous peoples if they have forgotten. You may be suprised by what you hear, when you take the time to listen.
Thanks, don't really need the lecture or your assumptions
