The genocide of native americans and slavery of black people are the unchallenged, most shameful acts of the US. Nothing will ever top that. I hate to break it to you: the treatment and negative opinions of canadians by US policies is a footnote compared to chattel slavery and genocide—neither of which targeted white Canadians. Do not ever let yourself again believe otherwise.

I didn’t say it was the only thing we have to be ashamed of. The rest of the world shouldn’t let us forget our flirtation with fascism.
Again, enslaving people in some of the worst conditions imaginable and committing literal genocide is worse than some politicians having bad options.
Two things can be bad at the same time.
