They can shut the fuck up about "truth and reconciliation" while simultaneously supporting a modern day indigenous genocide on top of continuing on their own indigenous genocide in secret. I knew they were full of shit after they made the Queen's day of death a holiday.

It's so absolutely insane how Canada is happy to tout reconciliation with First Nations people and simultaneously support the genocide of an indigenous people.

That's just a resistance-numbing effort. In the courts and on the streets they very much continue their genocide at full speed, and judging by how shocked as shit people were at discovering the mass graves and how quickly everyone forgot about it after the initial shock, it's working.

First Nations

I think they're third-nations with all the discoveries of civilisations long buried.
