    What face is on Canadian money?

    Also, don’t look up the Canadian residential schools if you’re squeamish.

        It’s slightly more complicated than that.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations

        And also, the Residential Schools were 100% Canadian.

        Not that Canada was the only country to have them, no. I mean, the fault for what happened in the Canadian ones was 100% on Canada. They enforced the system with fucking Mounties, and kept those torture houses going until 1997.

          It’s really not. This is an article about the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It has literally nothing to do with the Commonwealth or any of the countries that make it up. It’s about a public broadcaster. Britain and their royal family has nothing to do with this, nor do Residential Schools.

            Look at the original comment in this particular thread, It calls 20k deaths rookie numbers compared to the British atrocities.

            Note how it’s talking about Britton, and by extension Canada’s past, and making the observation that Canada’s current reluctance to face the reality of a (friendly) country’s ongoing genocide is because Canada would have to face up to their own history of genocide, both when they were part of the Empire, and for decades afterward.

      A bunch of Canadian prime ministers, a civil activist, and the former queen of Canada.
