    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.

      They can shut the fuck up about “truth and reconciliation” while simultaneously supporting a modern day indigenous genocide on top of continuing on their own indigenous genocide in secret. I knew they were full of shit after they made the Queen’s day of death a holiday.

        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.

          That’s just a resistance-numbing effort. In the courts and on the streets they very much continue their genocide at full speed, and judging by how shocked as shit people were at discovering the mass graves and how quickly everyone forgot about it after the initial shock, it’s working.

      Generally speaking if Germany votes in favour of this kind of resolution and you against, you done fucked up.

      this genocide and settling of stolen land.

      Guess they’re concerned they’d have to look inward a little?

          What has the Canadian state done to materially improve the conditions of the indigenous population? It’s all lip service and no action. The major difference here is that the project of ethnic and cultural genocide was largely successful, wiping out the chance of any serious resistance movement.

            At least in BC, they gave the First Nations people basically carte blanche to develop tranches of land in the middle of Vancouver.

            In today’s real estate environment, I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how valuable that is.

      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.

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

      The U.S spends more on military than the next 7 countries combined. It’d put up a good fight. Probably conquer Canada/Mexico in hours (I’d assume they would just concede the same way Paris/France conceded to the Nazis in WW2), and then we’d also have the advantage in Eurasia. We could nuke most of western Europe, and the only country that could really stop us is Russia because they also have a comparable number of nukes. If we successfully disarm them and are the sole nuclear super power in the world, I could see the U.S winning ww3 and becoming a global government.

    I mean didn’t they do this already years ago, and nothing changed? The UN is a spineless, useless organisation. According to wiki, it condemned Israel 45 times since 2013.

    Apparently condemning Israeli settlements that has been happening for years is more important than condemning the killing of the innocent Palestinians that’s happening right now
