Ok, but give us some credit.

It was only last weekend we had a national holiday to celebrate how we treated the natives.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 years ago

We crammed it into the calendar immediately before Thanksgiving, where we celebrate what we did to the natives.

Thanksgiving, where we celebrate what we did to the natives.

Despite all the awful things that settlers have done to Aboriginals in Canada (and Native Americans in the USA), neither country's Thanksgiving is about that. Canada's Thanksgiving was originally a celebration of arrival in the New World. Over time, it became a harvest celebration.

I’ve got a shit ton of vegetables from my garden. I’m thankful for that and I’m going to share them with my friends.

... Is that a celebration or a remembrance?

[-] notatoad@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

I bought a medium mocha with orange sprinkles from Starbucks in solidarity.

What kind of issue does someone have to have to marginally rotate a red legend box?

Honestly that bit of blue makes the whole thing pop. Looks really good

[-] Betch@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

As a French Canadian (Acadian), I don't mind it either. It's a nice looking flag. Something about the blue being proportional to the French speaking population kinda irks me though.

Albertan reporting in. I like it too!

That... actually honestly makes it look better. No politics intended, just saying that it looks nice

The N in lemmy stands for nuance

[-] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

I fail to see the nuance in situations like residential schools. Could you perhaps educate me so I can come to a more informed conclusion than sending thousands of indigenous Canadians to schools designed to stripped them of their culture is a bad thing to do.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 28 points 2 years ago

Oh we're not even talking about all the ones they straight up murdered and successfully hid for decades in mass graves?

[-] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 years ago

Or the forced sterilisations of indigenous women... many of these things happening in recent years..

[-] olicvb@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

I swear i saw this exact post and exchange like 3 months ago O.O

[-] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

Maybe you're a time traveller! If I were you, I would use this power for the silliest things as long as they're funny.

[-] olicvb@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

I'll try and not mess the timeline too much <3

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

When you piss in the primordial ooze, try to hit one of the clumps that will eventually crawl out of the ocean and lead to my genetic line.

Trust me, that proto-lifeform earned it.

Decades? The "Starlight Tours" have been happening more recently than that.

Oh, you're talking about the other thing. Too many of them to keep track of...

[-] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Starlight tours are so fucked up man

[-] Moneo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

The country has acknowledged the atrocities of residential schools for many years. If you want to criticize the current state of affairs by all means go ahead, but you are not contributing to the discussion in any way by pointing out residential schools were a bad thing.
