"I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada," Trump said.

Ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest person on the planet, Donald Trump.

        I mean, yeah, every plot of land was “stolen” from another group throughout history. Even going back to before Homo sapiens, and most certainly between indigenous tribes.

        Fortunately, Canada has acknowledged our history, and has been in the position to give back and support our first nations throughout the years.

        More work needs to be done, for sure, but this doesn’t diminish Canada in any way.

          This colonizer horse shit ignores the fact that the people you stole the land from are still here. Where’s the repairations?

            Yeah, so I have relatives with first nation blood, so I won’t own your toxic comment.

            Without knowing what you consider to be important, the Government of Canada has helped to fund quite a few projects to help our indigenous people: Healthcare, infrastructure, social assistance, clean water, trade, business and economic growth within their communities, etc.

            Hundreds of millions are spent each year to ensure that we do what’s right.

            We’ve settled land claims (with more to come), and have worked to protect first nation culture and languages.

            There’s always more to be done, and as I mentioned, Canada acknowledges that this is still a work in progress.

                I’m very curious about what you would like to see happen.

                Do you want to deport all black people to Africa and all white people to Europe, or are you presuming that Indigenous would freely decide to host all of you on their land indefinitely?

                  I would like to see settler-colonial governments abolished, settler wealth redistributed, and for settlers to betray whiteness/colonialism and join indigenous resistance to ultimately live side-by-side with indigenous people as equals.

                  Black people are not settlers. It’s not like their ancestors came here to invade and colonize the land and it’s not like they have generational wealth from settler-colonialism.
