Canada or Kanata means "the village", and village was here long before we were.
You know the concept of CANADA only exists in accepting that we stole, murdered, and raped that village into submission. Then began a legacy of exploiting the land and its people into the modern day under the stolen name...
"CANADA"
You know the indigenous people of that village have been here for untold thousands of years - def not a measly 150.
You know that PRESENTLY countless indigenous women are still missing, prayed upon, and ignored by the RCMP.
You know that PRESENTLY we are STILL ramming pipelines and dams thru their land without their full consent.
If you don't know, now you know.
You can love Canada all you want for all it has done for you, but to utter that carefully engineered mindfuck that is...
" Happy 150th Canada " is to spit in the face of the survivors of the unspeakable crimes of our predecessors and those fighting TO THIS DAY for their rights to their land and clean water.
That is choosing to be ignorant and disrespectful, and may your gods have mercy upon your soul.
Use this weekend to talk to friends and family about how we can do better, and make Canada something we ALL can be proud of ( not just the lucky ).
pour a drink and relax, chief leaf :)

Look, if you didn't want to lose your land, you should have fought a war and won. It's not your land anymore. It's Canada now, and it's a better country than you could have ever made. You lost. Get over it. Enjoy living in western civilization, because it's the greatest thing since sex.
Should be called 'Canadia'

Let me guess, you're from the French side of Canada a?

Perhaps westerners should suicide themselves now and allow another, more tollerant civilisation to take the land.
