--- "Canada has made Peace with its Native Peoples, dumbass"

A fine and courtesy, resourced response. Your style, one may observe.

And now, to NOT respond as you do....

"The report says decades of discrimination against Indigenous peoples have led to 'widespread abuses that persist across Canada.' It notes that inadequate access to safe drinking water continues to be a major public-health risk in many Indigenous communities, and it says this has hindered efforts to advance Indigenous rights. Despite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's promise to end drinking water advisories on First Nations reserves by 2021, in many cases they are still in effect."

"In May of this year, the bodies of 215 children were found at a former Indigenous school site in British Columbia. As students at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, these children were part of a network of 139 schools in the federally-run 'residential school system.' From 1883 to 1997, the Canadian government forcibly placed more than 150,000 children in these schools in an effort to reeducate and assimilate Indigenous populations in what was later characterized as a 'cultural genocide.' On September 30th, Canada observed the first National Truth and Reconciliation Day in recognition of the suffering of victims and survivors from the residential school system. The debut of this holiday comes as the Canadian public reckons with the country's past mistreatment of Indigenous populations and considers the lasting impact on Indigenous people today. Indigenous protections are increasingly a topic of discussion in Canadian politics, with rising global attention on issues of systemic racism and the resurfacing of past injustices in recent investigations into Canada's historical treatment of Indigenous people."

"Many assume that the Canadian motto “Peace, Order, and Good Government” informed the practice of Canadian “Indian” policy. Instead, violence, disorder and mismanagement, and a colonizing government have characterized Indigenous peoples’ experiences with the state."

how it works in Canada -

Canada gives billions of dollars to our First Nations every year

a typical Chief makes over $100,000

and by agreement, the Native groups spend the money as they see fit, the Canadian Govt stays out

if there’s poor conditions on native Territory, that’s on them, because it’s solely under their control

we’re not allowed to tell them what to do, by agreement

perhaps you should take up your concerns with them

Since Russia wants to do to Ukraine what Canada did to their natives are you against Russia’s war to conquer Ukraine and force them to be Russian?
