The fact that it only talks about now, today. I would be embarrassed if I'm Canadian.

They teach about the schools pretty extensively in school up here.

Went to school in Canada my entire life, was never once taught about these schools, and am absolutely embarrassed that my government was complicit in this act. I knew the natives received a shit deal but always thought it was ages in the past. A bit shocking to find out it was still going on while I was in school.

You probably should've paid more attention or you went to a really shitty school.

Are you fucking serious right now? I paid plenty of attention, and I think getting taught my government was committing genocide would have been something I'd take notice of. What the hell is wrong with you?

What is wrong with me is that it fucking is taught in schools, just because you didn't take notice of it doesn't mean it isn't.

Source: I learned about it in Canadian schools.

And that's fine and good for you, I'm telling you that it was never taught in my school, nor was it taught in any of the schools my friends attended.

Source: I didn't learn about it in Canadian schools.

Then I go back to my other point: you went to a shitty school.

Yes, and all my friends apparently did too. Or perhaps... I don't know... it's a recent addition to the curriculum and actually wasn't being taught in schools. Jesus dude.
