It is true Canada treated her indigenous people terribly, taking their lands without compensation, setting them off in reservations, breaking solemn treaties. Only now is there serious consideration to their circumstances and reconciliation. I know the story well as great-grandson of a full-blood Mi'kmaq working with First Nations in forestry and fisheries for nearly 50 years. Canada did not have an extermination policy, genocide, and warring tribes fleeing the US to the Great White Mother (Canada) were often met by a single Mountie. Guilty on ravaging, but not killing them off like bisons nor founded on slave labour.
