Sure, let's ignore that this country is built on the genocide if indigenous people and pretend it's just another interest group with no other context.
And it happened so what. You can literally say that about every country in the world. What makes Canada special what makes our FN special? Humans are brutal creatures and we have been forever and we have done shitty things over our history. So what all we can do is trybto be better we can't fix the past.
Look, I'm not going to go down the stupid hole with you. No, we're not just brutes who don't know any better. We do know better, and we try to become better. The past is written, but the future is left for us to write. That's the national story of Canada. Not that it was created perfect, but that we work to better ourselves.
So, here's the crux of the issue:
So, sorry, no, Canada, BC, us common citizens, should be throwing away our constitution, and our laws and our national aspiration to build a future of Peace, Order and Good Government for a few shitty mines.
Looks like you could do some googling about the meaning of truth and reconciliation. No one is arguing we have to fix the past, it’s the “try to be better” we’re all aiming for.
Not attacking the declaration of indigenous rights is a part of “try to be better”
