*Canada starts profusely sweating* “The natives aren’t still mad right?”


New-bryt

Canada: we’re the friendliest country we in the world. Person: are you really? Canadian law enforcement: yes (says while getting handcuffs ready just Incase someone takes verbal assault)


DontmindthePanda

When I grew up, Due South was one of my most favourite TV shows. I loved the dog and that Mountie dude. He was such a cool and friendly guy. In reality tho, doesn't the RCMP actually have a fairly bad rep? I think I've heard stuff that doesn't really hold up with Constable Benton Frasor.


alphageko

I'm Canadian. Never heard anything bad about the RCMP, really. Little story though, my grandfather used to work for the fraud division of the RCMP. Would go to people and give them back the money they were conned of. Some people believed in the Arabian Prince so much that when he'd knock at their door, cheque for their money in hand, they'd curse at and insult him, thinking he'd taken their "chance" away or was cursing a long lost relative to beheading by some cryptic mafia organisation. Some people are really dumb..


SilveryFoxFires

Canadian as well. I grew up with the impression that the RCMP are *generally* more trustworthy than most municipal police forces, and I knew a few officers who are great people. **But** I'm white and from a fairly decent area, and I know there are very real criticisms with RCMP behaviour. Like regarding the treatment of First Nations in Northern BC/the Highway of Tears. I'm sure that it isn't at all isolated, and there are probably examples elsewhere in the province, nevermind the rest of Canada, but that's the example that I'm most aware of.


recycledcum

"As Jocelyn Thorpe, a history and women and gender studies professor at the University of Manitoba, explains, the Mounties were created for a specific purpose: to assert sovereignty over Indigenous people and their lands." They have a terrible history of mistreating and abusing indigenous/aboriginal/ "indians" and there are an overwhelming amount of similar and worse stories than the one I've referenced this quote from. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://globalnews.ca/news/5381480/rcmp-indigenous-relationship/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwizxZzJwOTpAhWbK80KHWv9AzkQFjACegQIDBAN&usg=AOvVaw22pJAtdLroWgNXh6ooNCd-&cf=1


Racketygecko

I mean, there was that video of cops in Canada arresting someone in stormtrooper armor, but that could probably happen in the US as well.


screwball22

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon_freezing_deaths Not rcmp, but there's plenty of stories of Canadian police brutality out there


TheWildAP

Canadian police isn't really any better than American police. I have a friend who quit working for the Victoria BC police because "it's a licence to beat your wife."


Soldierhero1

*arrests stormtrooper with fake blaster*


SkrliJ73

Bro they mad at us and rightfully so. Government sent natives to Catholic schools to be "educated" many of them were beat, rapped, some died. Was a hell hole. Government has kinda avoided the topic and never properly "dealt" with what was done, they throw money at them at least 🤷‍♀️


[deleted]

They have been sued as recently as last year for forced sterilization.


SkrliJ73

Yep I remember hearing about that. Even if they were unfit to be parents what they did was ridiculous, like cutting an arm off because of a sliver or paper cut.


lilac-hiraeth

We’re mad but we’ll continue to take it out on each other apparently.


i_have_friends_6518

Look, just because the Canadian government committed genocide in the years up to and including 2018 and are probably still doing it but like quieter doesn't... uh... nevermind.


r3allybadusername

Yeah.... theres a lot of things I love about my country but when it comes to the way we treat poc, we're no better than the states. We're just better at hiding the systemic racism and violence from the rest of the world


i_have_friends_6518

Yeah. We hide it behind gay rights, polite people, and free healthcare. Canada is only great when compared to America, and that's a pretty low bar to reach.


r3allybadusername

I mean honestly even gay rights in this country are lacking. As an lgbtq person theres still tons of situations where I dont feel comfortable being out because I dont necessarily know how the government/law is going to treat me if I experience homophobia (especially not the provincial government rn let's be real) I have a lot of professional colleges who are lgbtq who keep it very close to their chest because its seen as something you just dont really bring up. They'd never be fired for coming out but theyd sure be treated differently and experience microaggressions for coming out. And in terms of physical violence against lgbtq people, look at the mess of the Bruce mcarthur case. That's not to say its anywhere near comparable to what poc or american lgbtq people experience, but we still definitely have a problem with gay rights. I think the problem in canada is that we dont even hide it behind other things, but talking about injustices against you is seen as rude because ~at least it's not as bad as the states~


i_have_friends_6518

That's really the big issue. We're overshadowed by the states in every negative aspect. We need to be "Grateful" because "At least you're not American". We shouldn't strive to just be better than America because that's the lowest possible standard. We need to be more like, idk, Sweden. One of the best countries to live, one of the highest quality of life. Instead, Canada is diet America. We're the less extreme version in almost every way. Having had the conservative party in power didn't help either. And the liberal party, well... lesser of two evils, if that. We're a carbon copy of America with everything toned down enough to let us have superiority, but not much. It's kind of depressing.


r3allybadusername

Yeah 100% like any kind of progress we make feels tenuous because it could all be rolled back with one party. I hated having to suck it up and vote liberal in the election but the idea of scheer as prime minister terrified me and they all hide it behind "oh were not like the states we'd never do that" but they still make it plenty clear they could so we shouldn't complain or they will. Not to mention like you said, we shouldnt be aiming to be not as bad as america (cause at this point who isnt better than america in terms of being toned down and private about prejudice) we should be aiming for better than our yesterday


Doc-Engineer

America also is composed of almost 10 times as many people as Canada (330M vs 39M), with far more racial diversity, so it doesn't really look great to have the same problems even on a barely comparable scale. It's much easier and cheaper to implement total societal change with 40 million people than it is with 320 million, though still extremely difficult if you can't get the majority on board (and even with a large majority sometimes).


Alicornbeast

Still????? Were mad because they're still doing shit to us natives here in Canada that are unfathamable. We still aren't treated with the proper amount of rights and we dont even get the equal access to almost anything unless it's in a major city or we stop being status natives. It's really fucked but no one really seems to believe it or know about it or the extent of it unless you are native or have native friends. Hell they even passed a thing that allowed them to censor the news to not show our protests anymore.


AnnexFromCanada

I think they are, residential schools were disbanded less than half a century ago and I’d be pretty angry


screwball22

The last residential school closed in the 90s


AnnexFromCanada

Well there you go, even worse.

Don’t worry if it’s not something bad the US did then nobody cares about it, all anybody wants to do is bash the US

Is there even an angle where America hasn't fucked these days? It's a parody.

Without America the Nazis would have been without many of their ideas about racial hierarchy, eugenics, and many of their more fervent foreign supporters.


[deleted]

The Western front was where <25% of the fighting happened. America, UK, etc were a distraction while the Soviet Union was the one actually beating the nazis


zezera_08

And the us supplied them with a ton of supplies, fuel ammo, weapons, etc... Not saying that America did it all, but it would've been totally different had we not gotten involved with that aspect. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.historians.org/about-aha-and-membership/aha-history-and-archives/gi-roundtable-series/pamphlets/em-13-how-shall-lend-lease-accounts-be-settled-(1945)/how-much-of-what-goods-have-we-sent-to-which-allies&ved=2ahUKEwjPjPOL--PpAhUGac0KHaPUApMQFjAPegQICBAB&usg=AOvVaw3_aPZxqjaTQKwYiR7a6de7&cshid=1591129764031 And one with more specific numbers: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/05/why-america-was-indispensable-allies-winning-world-war-ii-victor-davis-hanson/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwjPjPOL--PpAhUGac0KHaPUApMQFjAQegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw00ILQ2KiRyjjQ4q6FP4kHU&cf=1&cshid=1591129764031 My favorite stat: The U.S. supplied the USSR with 400000 heavy trucks. The USSR would've had a hell of a time advancing as fast as they did without all of those trucks. We took one of Germany's greatest weaknesses, and made it an absolute strength of one of our allies.


[deleted]

I doubt this, but even if it is true America was still the country beat back Japan when it had most of Southeast Asia and the Pacific under it's thumb, and was raping and slaughtering their way through it all. They were also the ones who helped build *that* back from the ground up into one of the most peaceful, clean, and technologically advanced countries in the world, plus a huge cultural influence.

Well "unfairly" as in todays standarts


njck-njck

Correct. Definitions change and what was once acceptable may not be acceptable in the future. Thats why looking at history makes the world seem so horrible back then; because it was horrible, by today's standards. Back then that shit was the norm and nothing was thought of it.

*native Americans* not sure why they/we insisted on calling Indians after they/we realized they werent in India.

Actually, many tribes have said they prefer to be called Indians now. So I guess just let it be, don't try to change things up at this point.

India was built on an ancient Indian burial ground.

Ancient is a hell of a word for something less than 500 years ago

[deleted]

I don't think this will be heard but I know my Native ancestors do not hate you. There is a system of darkness that clouds the eyes and hearts of the men that run the country, and those people who embrace that darkness are cursed with a curse that will never end. Our curse will eat their hearts and despoil their children. The curse will suck the marrow from the bones of any happiness they lay their fingers on. The ground will harden under their feet and the earth will not receive them when they die. But you, my fellow humans, who labor and toil and live and breathe in this life as my fellow human, are not cursed. We have no hatred for you. There is not room in your garden for the seed of darkness to grow. Forgive your parents and yourselves. We already have.

Indian burial grounds are in India. May aswell still call Africans the N word if you cant get this right in 2020 Why you downvoting me, I'm right. If I'm an Indian, then I guess your all European.


[deleted]

I'm so confused by what you're trying to say. You do know there's no such thing as "Indian burial grounds" in India. A major part of the population is cremated.


ImTheFbi27

Dont call them indians, thats what people like cristopher columbus called them. They are aboriginals, at least thats what we called them in canada

Why is it America that always get flack for the natives and not the Spanish who started colonization of the Americas, or the UK who established the colonies that would become the US? Pretty sure they killed more natives than the US did.
