Yes, I get the desire to beat the US's rising claim to fascism and republican values, but that doesn't mean we need to base our entire image off of them. Our display of leftism and being 'progressive' is so insanely performative it makes me sick. How many times have you seen our government "apologizing", and "acknowledging" instead of actually doing shit to help the people Canada has literally killed. Yet, here we sit, content with "sticking it to american's" while thousands of indigenous women die, tortured, raped, are sex trafficked, etc. Please for the love of god, TALK about these things with your community - teachers, friends, students, neighbours, family, even online like I'm doing right now. - just start with spreading the news, which can lead to organizing, protesting, riots, getting our government to actually DO SOMETHING. If we want to fix our problems we have to first acknowledge them.
No, Canada is not doing jack shit to help indigenous lives that have been ruined and discarded because of us. You're really just taking the government's word and sitting on your ass thinking "oh I live in such a perfect country, we do so much to help our people" WELL GET THE FUCK UP?? Pretty little words aren't helping us. TWO. TWO OF 231 CALLS FOR JUSTICE HAVE BEEN DONE. MORE THAN HALF HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN STARTED. 11 of 94 calls to action have been done. Half are in progress. If the Canadian government needs motivation, give it to them. Show no respect, they don't give two fucking shits about us and only enjoy stroking the Canadian ego. STOP LOOKING AT THE US AND WAKE THE FUCK UP
