@CustMichael@Steve_in_TO@Noahpinion Well the reverse can be said of you. You think Canada is "paternalistic" and not about individual rights. You have dual citizenship - but yet chose to live here!
@CustMichael@Steve_in_TO@Noahpinion You're the one holding up the US as a beacon of individual rights. Where the natives are respected apart of the old "frontier". Whereas Canadian gov't is "paternalistic". I'm acknowledging both countries' ugly histories. It's not a competition. You're the one being emotional.
@CustMichael@Steve_in_TO@Noahpinion I never said any of it is OK, you're pretending that the Canadian government's treatment, of first nations people is somehow unique compared to US. Where you claim they're are no laws on the books now, that discriminate against first nations people. Which is a big claim!
@CustMichael@Steve_in_TO@Noahpinion That law has been amended many times, and the law altogether isn't bad. Which is why according to a CBC article Pierre Trudeau tried to abolish it in 1969 with something called the white paper - but was met with resistance from first nations people.
@Steve_in_TO@CustMichael@Noahpinion Both American segregation of blacks and the natives, partly inspired the Nazis own segregation of groups they decided were inferior.
@CustMichael@Steve_in_TO@Noahpinion The US gov't kidnapped and forced native children into boarding schools, to erase their language and culture. Also the gov't had a Bureau of Indian Affairs a federal agency. The cruelty in both countries was largely the same, maybe differing on a case by case basis.
@CustMichael@Steve_in_TO@Noahpinion Canadian natives have treaty rights although far from perfect. There is government consultation with them regarding land. "They’re considered part of the Frontier or the wild — a quinessentially American people". ??? Americans also tried to assimilate them as well.
@mfproudman@Noahpinion Do you want them to dig up the bones, against the wishes of the families? Just so a fucking psycho like you, can come up with a different reason to think it's all fake!
@Noahpinion There's been plenty of social justice causes through out Canadian history. What does it matter whether it's "analogous" to black slavery or segregation or not ??? Wokeness is just preachiness.
@mfproudman@Noahpinion Of course right to residential school denial. Any excuse to call the suffering of any non white group a hoax. I can tell your very far right.
@barbarismcrit How about people can make up their own mind about. You don't have to be left wing on everything. Although I agree getting an abortion should always be a choice. So unless you want total conformity - having a difference of opinion, is a sign you can think for yourself.
