As a Canadian, I’m incredibly disappointed in my government for supporting this genocide and settling of stolen land. We’re on the wrong side of history with this.
It’s so absolutely insane how Canada is happy to tout reconciliation with First Nations people and simultaneously support the genocide of an indigenous people.
Disappointed, sure, but I don’t think you should be surprised.
Canada was founded as a country specifically for the purpose of genocide. Virtually the entire country is on settled and stolen land. It would be hypocritical to be against someone else doing the same.
You’re right, but there’s a reason why Canadians don’t talk about their “founding fathers” the way Americans do.
I don’t know how many other countries are the same way.
The first PM was explicitly racist against indigenous people, and IIRC, the country was explicitly founded on the basis of white supremacy over indigenous peoples.

Guess they’re concerned they’d have to look inward a little?
Thing is, Canada has been looking inward. That’s what makes it worse.

I think they’re third-nations with all the discoveries of civilisations long buried.
Generally speaking if Germany votes in favour of this kind of resolution and you against, you done fucked up.
Yeah, why the fuck are we red?!?
Because Canada itself is an apartheid regime, and doesn’t want to set a “wrong” precedent.

You could say the same about Australia and various Latin America countries, yet they still condemn Israel action.

That’s true for a lot of places, it’s just that Canadians recognize that.

Canada was founded more than 150 years ago. I’m surprised that in that intervening period, nothing has changed.
