    Well you can kind of relate because Canada were no saints to the native americans: politicians and officials were apologizing for that as recent as 2015 as the 2008-2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada reported on the century of abuse and mass graves of children.

    But yes, it’s all awful and we need to stop it immediately.

      That’s bullshit. Take your lumps.

      Our government is still fucking the Natives today. No doubt about that. You’ll get no argument from me. They’re ignoring supreme Court rulings and acting like dictators when it comes to the native population in our country since before it’s inception. Truth and reconciliation is a lie! If they wanted those things they wouldn’t still actively repress the population, keep them poor, sick and seen as second class citizens as well actively pursue continual court cases to avoid representing the native population in any way. See dental care for northern native and Inuit children as an example.

      Right now they’re attacking their fishery in the east coast enshrined by law that they ignore since 1999. All parties. No one has done shit about it. They keep them oppressed and fighting with the local population to ensure no action is mounted against the government. Fascist fucks all of them. That’s just one issue in an ocean of issues.

      However…IF YOU’RE CANADIAN, GO VOTE!..in order to correct our mistakes as a population we need to avoid the admitted fascist in our race for PM.
