Stuff like this and the "base" he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106

Canada has always watched everything their southern neighbor did to the native people and said "that's a great start, now hold my beer"

    Native & Canadian, not a history expert but my understanding is that on avg the US government was much more violent and aggressive with their colonization than Canada, even if Canada was pretty fucked too

    It’s probably that the USA has committed so many atrocities that some get lost in all the chaos. Canada has done fewer atrocities, so they’re just kinda upfront & plainly visible. That’s my hunch at least.

    Last I checked, half of Canadians were Christian, and more than half of those are Roman Catholic. This particular flavor of Christianity was very, very dominant in Canada. The US has a lot more denominations. Maybe that has something to do? We basically have "the Church", they had many to "dilute" the abjectness?
