Indigenous leaders say the country has yet to fully reckon with its troubled colonial past — or put a stop to a decades-long practice that is considered a type of genocide.

TORONTO (AP) — Decades after many other rich countries stopped forcibly sterilizing Indigenous women, numerous activists, doctors, politicians and at least five class-action lawsuits say the practice has not ended in Canada.

    So to be consistent with the solar bans due to the Uyghur genocide we should sanction all energy products from Canada now, right?

        While they’re both unacceptable, one action is officially sanctioned by the state, the other is a private action deemed illegal and prohibited. This poster appears to dilute that distinction.

      We don’t have to be consistent about anything and facts can stand on their own. It isn’t like if I didn’t do the correct thing at one point in my life that I can never ever do the correct thing ever again.

      Bad stuff is happening in Canada. Bad stuff is happening in many places. Independent facts.
