Canada Banned Slavery in 1833

So there's that:

More than a year after Canada proclaimed Aug. 1 as Emancipation Day, Black leaders and scholars are renewing their calls for Ottawa to make a formal apology for the country’s history of slavery and its intergenerational harms.

 

I'm $ure that there are rea$on$ for thi$ $udden demand for contrition.

Not for the Chinese or North Korean labourers, though, because reasons.

 

 

Also - Australians, you can recall blondie, right?:

An Indigenous Australian parliamentarian was instructed to retake her oath of office on Monday after she changed it to label Britain’s queen a colonizer.

Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe told parliament’s upper house with her right fist raised above her head that she would “bear true allegiance to the colonizing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”

 

"Indigenous" people didn't have parliaments, blondie.

 

 

“One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain.”
