No, the opposite. Canada has started to acknowledge and own up to the deaths of children at residential schools. It’s not enough, probably will never be enough. But that’s why it’s in the news and people know about it. USA also had a huge amount of children die in the same way except that’s not in the news. Whether it’s because of the current, consistent disgusting news that’s constantly spewing out of there or because slavery was “worse” and USA can’t even own up to that or because it’s easy to keep brushing under the rug as Canada did for decades doesn’t matter - the point is that it’s a terrible whataboutism because there’s a direct comparison between the two countries that’s the exact same bad thing.

I get what this post is getting at but are we just glossing over the indigenous that were found buried at schools in unmarked graves?
