    Just another reason to never step foot in the states ever again. Sorry that she passed. Americans are murderers.

          to be fair, neither are most americans active participants of the current issues

          it’s just 1/3 of them, plus any military or police members not in that 1/3, and then another 1/3 that are inactive and don’t care what the first 1/3 are doing

        And Canadian troops are the cause of several portions of the Geneva convention.

        We have plenty of blood on our hands, as do any colonized people.

        Even to this day, twilight drop offs are still being done by the RCMP.

        That says nothing about the current regime in the US contiuing to do unspeakable horrors in addition to just about everything Canada has also done.

        Two peoe can be bad, and one still demonstrably worse.

        I say this as a trans person that has some (flimsy) rights and protections here.

        If you want to compare the two, tell the whole truth about both.

            Ultimately, not my point. My point is Canada ahas a long and bloody war history yes, but to off hand ‘theyre the same’ is disingenuous.

            But I appreciate the correction
