Ok, but give us some credit.
It was only last weekend we had a national holiday to celebrate how we treated the natives.
… Is that a celebration or a remembrance?
I mean, if you give people a long weekend they’re gonna celebrate.
I don’t know any white people who sat around in solemn reflection last weekend, but I know plenty who had an extra day of partying.
You also have to love how it’s a federal holiday in some places. People who work for the government got the day off, but there was practically nothing for the legit indigenous other than seeing people wearing orange shirts.
Idk, it’s weird to me because the government played a massive role in what happened. It’s odd that the provincial government gave themselves a long weekend over it.
Which half the provinces don’t even recognize (as in, not a stat holiday). Not that it really matters that much. No problem has ever been solved by merely declaring a holiday and there’s no shortage of shitty actions speaking louder than any holiday could.
What kind of issue does someone have to have to marginally rotate a red legend box?
I’ve been living outside of Canada for a number of years now. Up until recently, I actually became more proud of Canada. Patriotic even. I almost convinced myself that Canada had something special that the rest of the world didn’t.
That all came crashing down because of three things:
- Unmarked graves of native kids at former residential schools. 250 in BC. 751 in Saskatchewan. They were just kids. How many more haven’t we found?
- Horsy pigs pointing AR-15s at unarmed Wet’suwet’en protestors. On Wet land. In their own homes. Why? For the gall of protesting against the inevitable environmental disaster that the Coastal GasLink pipeline would bring.
- More horsy pigs letting the convidiots run rampant around Ottawa, and hugging and kissing convidiots at the Alberta border.
Kid gloves for white people; violence for natives. It crushed me to realize it, but Canada is an ethno-state like any other.
On the topic of unmarked graves, a good essay: https://lemm.ee/post/10348169 - https://aeon.co/essays/we-must-not-forget-what-happened-to-the-worlds-indigenous-children
And the standing ovation and subsequent apologism for an SS volunteer not withstanding.
Oh fuck! Did hey acctually bring up one body yet. Must have missed it.
Kid gloves for white people; violence for natives.
Umm… I’m not sure how to approach this, because I’m pretty sure people don’t care about the facts and just want to push whatever political narrative, but here:
Also man… The freedom convoy was removed, had their accounts frozen, officers that donated to the convoy were disciplined, and docked pay. At the time I compared it against a pipeline protest by native people, and they were both removed in equal time.
Remember Occupy Wallstreet? Go google Occupy Wallstreet Kettling, and tell me how “handled with kitty gloves” people are.
The thing I can’t stand about all of this is Natives recieve tons of support, and recognition in Canada. Like dude. I’m not saying racism doesn’t exist, and I’m not saying there isn’t generational trauma, and other issues, but just as a matter of fact, in Canada under law Natives aren’t given less, they’re given more.
But fuck reality eh.
It’s called Restitutions. It’s when white people say 'My bad!!’ and bashfully try and make good of the atrocities they have orchestrated in the past against ethnic groups, more often than not half hearted and poorly distributed.
“Oh shit! We massacred your tribe and stole your children? What? The children had their teeth yanked out instead of getting dental care? Soorry, eh. Have a field house for your shitty little park.”

Some just dont have to look very hard
I really think y’all should just let that one marinate.
Is this a shitpost because blue actually represents the Quebecois who view themselves as oppressed the way they oppressed Indigenous People, for whom orange/yellow/black/red/white are more representative colours?

Canada influenced the Nazis, not the other way around.

Fucking excuse me?
Hitler’s American model describes Hitler’s dreams to match the power of the colonial powers of the day, Britain and France. But his inspiration came from the colonies themselves. In this book the American model with regard to race is explored, rather than canadian systems, but clearly Canada is not very different in that regard.
Some highlights:
-
The Nazis found that the one-drop rule was too harsh - (only because mixed Jews were somewhat white-passing whereas mixed Black people couldn’t pass and remained legally Black).
-
Manifest Destiny inspired Lebensraum (probably Canada and Australia too).
-
Nazi Race Law/Blood laws and second class citizenship laws for Jews were inspired by similar laws in the US (‘legal realism’ justification’).
You literally named USA for all 3, get the fuck out of here you hatemonger. The fuck is wrong with you spreading disinformation like this?
I’m describing the ‘highlights’ in the book you illiterate. What’s difficult to understand?
Canada is a state, its not possible to hate-crime Canada you twat.
Who the fuck said hate crime? And your highlights were all the USA so why the fuck would I read your trash book?
You’re fostering hate against another country, nobody said it was a crime but you’re telling lies to discredit a country for no apparent reason.
Blocked, goodbye hatemonger.
Are you denying that Canada is a colonial project? Or are you mad that other people on the internet are aware of your Yaroslav Hunka problem? Of which there are many in Northern America from what I hear.
