      Don’t forget Canada.

      Hmm, is it me who’s wrong about the facts on the ground and the application of international law?

      No, it is Canada who is has gone genocidal!

        Canada has a long and arguably continuing history of genocide.

            What planet are you on that you’ve never heard of the Canadian extermination of indigenous peoples?

              I have heard of it. Have I heard anyone call it genocide though? I don’t think I have. Other than, now this is the second person, whom I consider to be edgelords on the internet until proven otherwise.

                You’re willfully being ignorant, then. “Canadian indigenous genocide” is the third result down on the autocomplete list on google after typing in “Canadian Indig”, and if you click that result you get a ton of sources including a bunch of news articles talking about the genocide using the word genocide, the website for the Canadian human rights museum which calls it a genocide, and even a scientific paper on the trauma effects caused by it.

                It was a genocide.

                Sounds like someone needs to be doing the Googling they keep preaching about.

                stares blatantly

                  Canada’s policies aimed at assimilating Indigenous people included outlawing languages, cultural practices and political traditions and forcibly removing children from families. These were deliberate attempts to erase a distinct group of people by destroying the essential foundations of their way of life.

                  I read enough studying law and before that criminal justice with a history minor to know that this quote is completely true and not really that strong of a case by an international law standard. I get their argument though and have a lot of sympathy for the indigenous people throughout North America and the arctic.

                    Clearly you didn’t read enough.
