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.

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.

Disappointed, sure, but I don't think you should be surprised.

Canada was founded as a country specifically for the purpose of genocide. Virtually the entire country is on settled and stolen land. It would be hypocritical to be against someone else doing the same.

Imagine being in such blatant violation of international law and human decency that China, Japan, and both Good and Capitalist Running Dog Korea can agree that you suck.
