      I’m not telling myself anything. Go back and read the first 2 words of your OWN sentence: “The government”. I’m not the government and most americans are appalled at shit like this. So my point still stands.

      Or should we just lump all Canadians in as racist shitbags because Canada’s government has committed atrocious acts with indiginous. So has Australia and don’t even get started on the African continent with the Dutch, French, English, etc. get out of here with this or at least repurpose this to something useful. We all should look through the lens of history and the US is no saint by any stretch, but there are many, MANY positive things our people and even yes our govenment have contributed to the world.
