Canada is built on a legacy of genocide and exploitation. Canada 150 is no reason to celebrate

Yes, I've lived in one of those communities lol. Boil water advisories can happen a number of reasons, and while I know the specific issue you're referring to, acting as though that's the result of an intention exclusionary action against natives is absurd.

You're basically saying "these native-related issues exist, and it's because Canadians want to push them out". That's a pretty baseless, shitting thing to say and frankly I think it's needlessly divisive.

Also fuck off about the "Canada may be good to you" bullshit. You know who were the biggest racists in my childhood? Natives. I was the minority in a town predominantly composed of natives, and I dealt with plenty of racism from natives and yet I'm still able to make a living and enjoy Canada. This whole snowflake syndrome with natives has got to end-- they've got to realize that they weren't the only people colonized by white people, and plenty of other groups have made huge progress and a big part of that is we didn't b*tch (you guys seriously have an automod that removes comments for swearing?) and whine not getting 100% of what they want. Most natives I grew up with didn't even know about Canada's mistreatment of the Chinese, or British colonization of India, so they just assume they were the only people truly fucked by white people.
