    Lmao, oh, are they? Wow, I mean, at least the totally-not-white-supremacist-genocidal-settler-state Canada made it all the way to 2026 without white supremacy entering its media and politics.

          right? But we cant change the past

          Canadians have become aware of our colonial past and are working to correct it with Indigenous Canadians

            Don’t get me wrong, that’s great! But how extensive is that work, when it comes to truly writing the wrongs of settler-Colonialism? That’s a really big traumatic scar that impacts every area of a country’s political life and institutions. Pointing that fact out, instead of treating Canadian white supremacy as somehow “new”, isn’t just some rude bummer of a take.

              We need to help our Indigenous communities regain their pride and culture, while also collectively embracing a shared Canadian identity

              starting with ensuring clean drinking water, access to quality education and health care services and a joint recognition of our shared pasts and futures

                    Nah man, telling me to do the leg work for you sucks actually.

                    You said:

                    Great! Show me! Back that up!
