Reply to comment by RobertoSantaClara in Canada House of Commons unanimously agrees to describe residential schools as genocide by shpydar

What a fuckign stupid comparison. Wake me up when when they declare it as a genocide on what happened to the natives and black Americans. What US did to the Japanese was geopolitics. And wake me up when the American Right wing nutjobs are okay with it instead of throwing a tantrum.

Why? It's an example of Government acknowledgement of their responsibility for past actions, that's exactly what this thread is about.

Sure, you claimed it will "never" happen. Never is a big word, lets wait and see. Do you happen to have a crystal ball that can see all the way into the future end of the universe?

Oh, and this isn't? Canada isn't going to truly "decolonize" itself anytime soon, saying sorry for past atrocities is also geopolitical PR because ultimately it won't change anything. You can't un-murder someone and you can't decolonize a country founded by colonizing. Canada, as a state, is here to stay and it won't cede its ultimate sovereignty over the landmass it controls to any Amerindian movement seeking to re-establish true independence and sovereignty over the land.
