    Proof? You’re making the claims the burden of evidence is on you.

    As far as I know the two women killed in Manitoba were the result of a serial killer and Wab did the right thing.

    We definitely treat our indigenous poorly but as far as I know we are no longer throwing them in mass graves.

        Are they actively murdering and burying indigenous people in mass graves? This report is on the historical failings of the government as it pertains to 2022.

        To be clear as of that report the government was not acknowledging their failures to account for and prevent these atrocities not that they were actively committing them.

            I don’t think the genocide is active anymore, this is a super weird hill to die on. To be honest Canada has a LONG way to go in terms of reconciliation. land acknowledgements, etc are a super fake check mark to be “native friendly” but they are a step in the right direction. No, Canadians are not actively murdering first Nations and burying them in mass graves.

            Yes, the there still is some cultural genocide and the communities are still absolutely struggling to recover from being completely fucked by the Catholic Church and the Canadian government with residential schools, rascism, reserve system and destruction of food sources.

            Pick your battles better.
