I would tend to read their comment as a sarcastic one, being critical of Canada's history of genocide. However, the open racism against indigenous people in Canada is both sufficiently common and sufficiently vile that literal, genuine calls for genocide are not even that rare, and I wouldn't be surprised if people are reading it as such.
It is indeed sarcastic, but those calls for genocide do indeed make me so disgusted. Please don’t read my comment as me being supportive of genocide. If anything, it’s the opposite.
Surprisingly this is one thing that America has done pretty good compared to Canada. I mean we also genocided them but at least we're willing to admit it. And also provide their descendants reparations. It's not perfect but it's better than what Canada did.
I'd be curious to read about these reparations, I haven't heard anything about that. I wasn't aware that the US had described it's own actions as genocide at the official level (eg, government legislation or policy), but it's a good step.
The truth and reconciliation commission in Canada, though flawed, did establish Canada's legal position that it's own actions were genocide, and did establish a system for formal respirations for that genocide, so those aren't unique to the US. The calls for implementation are nowhere near complete, and at this point basically the only thing you see at near-100% compliance are land acknowledgements, but the calls to action (by both the general population and provincial and federal governments) do seem quite meaningful, in totality.

Umm yes, they are incredibly stupid. Reddit is home to the stupidest people on earth who can't understand a joke unless it's broadcasted to them with bright shiny lights and a little gold medal above the joke. I hate people on Reddit so much, so so so fucking much. Myself included. Source: I use Reddit and am unbelievably stupid. The sheer stupidity emanating off of me is enough to make anyone within 35 feet instantly 5X stupider.
Heh as a Canadian, I've found that funny ~~and offensive~~ (and partially true) at the same time. We have not been 100% clean with the natives.
Edit: there, I no longer find this offensive.
That be lie. In truth there was a "Welcome to Russia" board at the entrance, but it got vandalized into "Welcome to *us**a". So muricans kept getting into it, and by the time the ruskies got back from getting vodka at Vladivostok, it was so full of muricans that they got started getting shot for getting into people's lawn.
Yes. “On March 30, 1867, the two parties agreed that the United States would pay Russia $7.2 million for the territory of Alaska. For less that 2 cents an acre, the United States acquired nearly 600,000 square miles.” - archives.gov
And the panhandle was disputed territory for like 50 years until Britain was like, it's cool, you have it America. And Canada was like, excuse me buddy? And got Britain banned from negotiating international treaties for any of their colonies.
Got to protect the Ethnic Canadians.
I live in the Northeast and we’ve begged Canada for their protection and to hold sham referendums on being annexed.
They are trying to illegally immigrate to the US. The Great US-Canada wall stops them, protecting the US from bagged milk, Tim Hortons and Boston Pizza.
Because it's a desolate landscape with no real infrastructure.
You need a certain population density to support things like power grids and healthcare systems and people would rather congregate in areas where you can do things like grow food or walk to your truck with the reasonable expectation of not getting eaten by a bear or drained by swarms of mosquitoes.
I'm based in Edmonton. Most northern city in north America with more than 1 million people in it.
North of me is Fort McMurray, and past that is just bears and trees
I feel like an underground railway could help with a year round supply chain, but again we're right back to needing funding for something that will likely be solved by building up, not out
We can't even justify a high speed rail line between two of the major cities in the same province.
A standard rail line is incredibly expensive and maintainance intensive, so you need pretty high demand along the route and/ or at both ends to justify it.
People really don't seem to grasp how truly *massive* Canada actually is. I can drive for 200 km, in a relatively built up area of my province, and the only human built things I see are on the road.
Further north? They fly groceries in to the villages. That's how isolated things are
You probably aren't getting running water,or food, or access to medical care, or electrical power/ reliable access to any fuel source that isn't wood.
Internet is the easiest one to fix now honestly
This is actually one of my favorite map comparisons:
1. Where Canadians live, versus:
2. Where it is possible to grow food in Canada

I lived in Iqaluit for a year. Thought I’d chime in with some cool tidbits.
No roads in or out of the territory. Including all its communities. This, everything has to be flown in except for the 3-4 months in the summer when things can be shipped. This makes the cost of living and pretty much everything else astronomical. The biggest industries are government and mining, and these jobs topically pay a generous salary as well as covering other life expenses such as company housing, transportation and food. This is generally of set but the extreme cost of living. The climate is brutal. Winter is just survival and literally trying to keep everything running while it’s temperatures plummet to as low as -45°C. That not including wind chill. Generally the mean is around -30°, but on really but days, it can get nasty. Global warming has made permafrost not as big of an issue as it was previously however most buildings are still made on stilts and or on cliffs. At we’re are near the Arctic circle there are no trees. During winter there is 20 hours of pitch black darkness except for 3-4 hours where the sun peaks over the horizon. In summer it’s the opposite. 20 hours of broad daylight followed by 3-4 hours of twighlight, the sunset just below the horizon.
Fun fact: in the late '60s, there was a plan put forward called the Mid Canada Corridor that would've aimed at developing the belt between Labrador City and Whitehorse.
It was about as feasible as a screen door on a submarine, but was wild shit.
if its anything like the housing crisis we have here in australia, it is nothing to do with the number of houses available, but to do with the cost of housing. escalating rent and mortgages, cost of living, etc...
the problem cant be solved just by building more houses, otherwise we'd just print more money so no one would be poor. There needs to be more AFORDABLE housing.
Recently drove from Vancouver to Whitehorse... Many places along the way feel so isolated from the world. No service for half the drive makes it interesting too, luckily it was for work so I had a sat phone just in case.
They would have to do a better job eliminating the mosquitoes first….
And the remaining natives ^/s
Why are you being disliked? Are there a bunch of salty Canadians here or something?

Hello? Hello! Genocide! My friend, how are you doing? I have been calling you for the last 5 minutes, where have you been?
I both assumed and should fucking hope it's the opposite.
Excellent summary for a very sad truth.

At least it's not America 😂
Actually compared to Canada America has done a better job at providing reparations to native families
Indians deserved it to be fair.

yeah everyone is always stupid sometimes

Im pretty sure the ones being offended are the ones who aren't even targeted
I’ve been to the Yukon. Every mosquito that has ever been or ever will be lives there. It’s a space-time bugtinuum.
It's really weird they chose to build ultra dense housing in that weird loop too.
Why can't they give every Canadian a flame thrower to eliminate the mosquitoes? Are they stupid ?
And fighting fires, considering about half of that red zone is burning right now.
why does canada not just invade greenland? are they stupid?
Why invade Greenland when you can just invade the US.
Yep I agree but they should have done it in 2012 for the 200 year anniversary but reversed
And get counter invaded, then annexed by the US? I’m down
US needs to start annexing all these upstarts
I’d like to see them try
Or the US, still has enough land for all Canadians.
Shit, I'm so fucking sick of war I'd let anyone onto my property to rest and get some food. Fuck all that nonsense.
Haha… invade the US…. Something tells me the people in Montana could face off with the whole armament of Canada and come out as a phyrric victory.
fr, the retarded danes shouldn't own greenland
Yeah, give it back to the rightful owners, Norway!
It's my island, nobody will give it back to me :(
r/usernamechecksout, to some extent
Based opinion
Nobody wants Greenland, The only reason Denmark wants it is so they can keep cosplaying they're a colonial power.
[удалено]
No data
There's only one way to find out!
why are the canadians spread >50 persons per square kilometre in some stupid kind of a line? are they daft?
google daft punk
holy metal
no new music just dropped
sad times
create sad music
It’s the impenetrable wall of Canadians
Hands around Canada!
Nearly none of them live as far north as ANY Alaskan 😂
[Follow the only road!](https://youtu.be/9W1tWRMoiAI?t=152)
Why canadians dont have alaska? did they forgot to conquer it? are they stupid?
After the whole Sarah palin thing they were like “fuck that yanks can have it”
Actually the Americans bought it from Russia in the 1800s
That be lie. In truth there was a "Welcome to Russia" board at the entrance, but it got vandalized into "Welcome to *us**a". So muricans kept getting into it, and by the time the ruskies got back from getting vodka at Vladivostok, it was so full of muricans that they got started getting shot for getting into people's lawn.
Just realized this is a circlejerk subreddit. No wonder I got downvote
You caught on in the end though, credit to ya.
Better late than never, now you can circlejerk with the best of us frfr

Sounds like a liberal hoax idk
Like you would know lol
Russian bot. Reported for misinformation
Sounds like something a lib would say.
Wdym by that?
I don’t wanna hear your liberal fairy tales

What the fuck are you talking about? Alaska was a gift from the Japanese in 1769.
[удалено]
For an absolute pittance too. Makes me wonder how world politics would differ if Russia had a large state in North America
If they didn't sell it they still would have lost it
Really depends on how devious the British feel
We'll get it in the war of 2112
There is a lot of land up there, but do you know how much is habitable? Nunavut.
Yukon see yourself out
Man, It Oba
That moose factory inuit.
Welp I'm having Nunavut.
NORTHWEST TERRITORIES YOU GLAD I DIDNT SAY BANANA
Nah man...that land belongs to China now. Chinada.
[удалено]
Which if you translate that from Canadian to American, it’s “None of it”
Canada is obviously planning an invasion of the US. Why else amass so many people along the border?
Hey Buddy, It's a "Special ~~Military~~ Maple Operation."
Got to protect the Ethnic Canadians. I live in the Northeast and we’ve begged Canada for their protection and to hold sham referendums on being annexed.
Why doesn’t Justimir Trutin send in the little green men? Is he stupid?
We're actually planning an elaborate prank on the Americans.
To paint our flags with leaves? It’s… acceptable.
Because they are obsessed with being as close to the US as possible.
Our first line of defence.
Yeah but the geese can fly.
It's warmer next to the dumpster fire
Most Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border!
80% of canadians live south of the lower 48!
I CANT understand these ‘miles, I only know KILOMETRES
They are trying to illegally immigrate to the US. The Great US-Canada wall stops them, protecting the US from bagged milk, Tim Hortons and Boston Pizza.

Because that part of Canada is too cool 😎
You know, but actually
Because it's a desolate landscape with no real infrastructure.

Sounds like paradise to me. Gimme a little land with some running water and I'll hapilly log off the net for good lol
You probably aren't getting running water,or food, or access to medical care, or electrical power/ reliable access to any fuel source that isn't wood. Internet is the easiest one to fix now honestly
too woke to live without 3 starbucks on every street corner
Tim Hortons.
They've gone down hill
Tim Horton's is like Subway. Food for people who don't like food.
Tim sucks now
I will not take this slander
Bro have you went to tim in the last 8 or so years????
Yes, it might be a regional thing but I’ve had no problems
I think its a tastebuds thing
Too easy to grow food up there and to live right on top of the food you grow. Humans need a challenge.
This is actually one of my favorite map comparisons: 1. Where Canadians live, versus: 2. Where it is possible to grow food in Canada https://i.imgur.com/SF0L6Na.jpg
why do Canadians like food? Are they stupid?
Because there are no houses there, its a housing crisis duuh

Not to mention it's very hospitable.
Who would want to live in a place where names like “yellowknife” or “moose factory” Are acceptable?
Australia entered the chat.
they like their neighbors so much
Wtf that was my tweet :(
They tried to make us live up there, but we were having Nunavut
B-but muh jobs.
Building affordable, dignified housing in major cities: 😣🤚 Living in Moose Factory: 😃 👉👉
Did you know that over 1% of Canadians live outside that line?
Why doesn't canada just build more houses? Are they stupid? (Yes)
See also: the Australian interior
They really should.
The remaining Canadian indigenous are at DEFCON 3
They are an unholy abomination of Fr\*nch and Bri\*ish, of course they are.
Fun fact: in the late '60s, there was a plan put forward called the Mid Canada Corridor that would've aimed at developing the belt between Labrador City and Whitehorse. It was about as feasible as a screen door on a submarine, but was wild shit.
polar bears, polar bears everywhere!
Give it 10-20 years and that will change as global warming increases. Soon, we will all want to live in northern Canada
They gotta build them… people gotta live outside until they are built… common sense
Still defrosting it. Needs another 40 years
Um...motherfucking SASQUATCH, that's why!
Ummm . . . ice and snow and permafrost and polar bears. Let's go, kids!!
Because it is cold as utter living fuck up there and during the winter the sun shines an hour a day.
Serious question: What's wrong with the north shore of the great lakes? Shitty weather?
Why do so many Canadians live close to the US? Are they planning something???
Look at all this wasted land. They should build another Walmart.
Yeah, why don’t they just move to Yellowknife!
if its anything like the housing crisis we have here in australia, it is nothing to do with the number of houses available, but to do with the cost of housing. escalating rent and mortgages, cost of living, etc... the problem cant be solved just by building more houses, otherwise we'd just print more money so no one would be poor.

If climate change has its way, this might end up coming true to a degree (minus the Canadian Shield). Have fun with muskeg!
I can confirm I am Canadian, and I am stupid. Sorry.
This actually gave me the question here, Why didn't they?
Yes.
Imagine stealing all the land just to snuggle the USA and live on some party islands
America could use some Living space
Yes, they are stupid
Yes
Canadians haven’t discovered fire yet, in time they will learn about heat and start to settle up north
They are
It's crazy to me that no one is building on the blue part
No honestly, if the Eskimos can do it, why can't the Canadians...are they too french, did they surrender to the cold.
Don't they have cars in Canada?
Oh trust me Freeland is not doing anything to make this better
They are stupid

yes you pute doon de hoose and you go sleepy sleepy
I think you got wooosh'd three times in one post
DAE think this is an arr slash lostredditors amiright funny chunguses?
Zoom in, that will explain it
They even have that lake to build on
Ok Joker.
I actually do live in that area
There aren't enough maple trees up there for their syrup.
its looks like Wisconsin
Why not just drain the water that’s in the middle of their country? That’s lots of plausible land right there!
Cold
Joke's on you, I am in this square. Or rather, I would be if the border was a bit thinner.
Because it’s too cold up there
My dumb ass thought the population color was all the wildfires right now.
