    If you think Canada is bad (and it sure is), you should see how the US treated its indiginous peoples.

        I mean if we’re going to discuss statements of fact we could also include Europe’s history of colonial exploitation. But I’m on board with just ribbing the US for now.

            It may seem old to you because your privilege allows you to forget. Ask indigenous peoples if they have forgotten. You may be suprised by what you hear, when you take the time to listen.
