Did they mention how they were massacring other tribes and stealing their land when Europeans first got here? We're the ones that put a stop to that and saved their asses. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/i...

What the US does or doesn't do is actually irrelevant to whether Canadians are able to face the fact that they live on stolen land. Historical acknowledgment is but one part, and the least demanding at that. Much harder to grapple with what it means about resources and power in the here and now.
