I love my country, Canada, even with it's blemishes like Thalidomide, Marc Lepine and Canadian soldiers in Somalia. Those are all from the past. A bit shameful and embarrassing but it only represents an infinitesimal portion of what this great country is all about. Go Tommy Douglas!!!

    I noticed you didn't mention the ongoing genocide of 100 million natives, the countless warcrimes Canadians have committed on behalf of the United States, or the ongoing deep partnership with a country who's been doing a genocide in the middle east for over 75 years.

    Patriotism is a poison designed to make you accept the wrongs of your country. Demand better.

    genocide of 100 million natives

    I get the point you're making but making shit up isn't helping your point; there are only ~40M people living in Canada atm, and only a part of that number are natives. Yes, there is still lots of racism and discrimination going on but if you want to call the current situation in Canada a genocide... You may need to go out and touch some grass

    Oh brother, I didn't realize you guys were so ignorant of the history of your own country lol.

    Most scholars held these lower estimates as factual until the 1960s, when anthropologist Henry Dobyns published research applying historical and archaeological data to assert a far higher pre-Columbian population of possibly over 100 million
