Good job Spain on not being as proficient at genocide, I guess? Nah! We can condemn all colonialism without needing to rank it. It was all disgusting.
What about the Aboriginal appointments to the Senate? Or the work towards Métis self-governance?Nope. Trudeau is ignoring native protests to pipelines and forcing it through despite the province and native leaders vetoing it.

He doesn't give a fuck. All he does it talk. His actions are directly against the native population. He could do so much for them but that doesn't get him the liberal vote or daily news hour tagline.
Guy even has a Haida tattoo as if that makes him invested in it somehow
Results matter to me. Appointments mean squat. 25% of our nationwide homeless population is aboriginal, highest level of poverty for a ethnic group. Those actually matter. No large improvements in those regards.
And that is a complicated problem not easily dealt with solely on a federal level.
I wouldn't draw any conclusions from a single year in a single province.

We have so much blood on our hands for how we took their land, took their children away from their parents, forced into Christianity to "take the indian out of the indian", stripped them away of their culture, identity, way of life. The amount of battle we've had with them. Its sickening and its amazing how we still get away with some stuff even today. Much like the states it needs to be called out by everyone especially white people who were the oppressors. I do my absolute best to integrate indigenous education and learning in all my classrooms, as well as start a boxing organisation where students from the school go to northern and southern first nations to participate in the sport of boxing but most important learn about their culture, way of life and spend time with them as well.
And rely on who, China? Because the pipeline is to the west coast....
Racism towards indigenous people in Canada is systemic. This is not some isolated incident; Canada has engaged in maltreatment since its very creation (i.e. no indigenous leaders were invited to any talks of Confederation. It goes even further back if you look into New France's slavery).
Yep pretty much. I know many left leaning people who show disdain for indigenous people, and the conservatives are even worse. Just blatant racism.
Individuals acting on their own... but the willfulness to not hold them accountable for their heinous crimes is systemic.
This is a good point. But you're right, things are slowly getting better. This government has done some work addressing First Nations concerns and raising awareness. However, there is a lot that needs to be addressed and balanced.
