As a Canadian, I'm incredibly disappointed in my government for supporting this genocide and settling of stolen land. We're on the wrong side of history with this.

this genocide and settling of stolen land.

Guess they're concerned they'd have to look inward a little?

Thing is, Canada has been looking inward. That's what makes it worse.

What has the Canadian state done to materially improve the conditions of the indigenous population? It's all lip service and no action. The major difference here is that the project of ethnic and cultural genocide was largely successful, wiping out the chance of any serious resistance movement.

At least in BC, they gave the First Nations people basically carte blanche to develop tranches of land in the middle of Vancouver.

In today's real estate environment, I'm sure I don't need to tell you how valuable that is.

Yeah the confused Canadians need to get a clue
