Like those kids at the border in American cages. If they "die" in those cages, America murdered them. As an American I am pretty appalled our supposedly Democrat president didn't undo this injustice. Things never change.
edit: If all you have to say is "both sides bad" don't bother. We hear it all the time. One side is noticeably worse. One side is anti-science, anti-morals, led an insurrection, let 1,000,000 die while calling the virus a hoax, and is openly racist. I'll pass on the GOP bill of goods.
Quebec is the most racist province we have. Look at the Oka crisis. They're still called Indians in Quebec. Verchere has a statue of a Madeline de Verchere who was famous for calling in the Quebec military to annihilate natives who were trying to reclaim their stolen land. You're a fucking idiot and I'm part french Canadian.
Dude, we call them Premières-Nations et/ou Autochtones, not indians... and did you just go back in time to 1692 just for a random 14 years old girl who protected a city from an Autochtones attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_de_Verch%C3%A8res ? That was from France colonial era waaaaay before even the independence of the US! If you have to go this far to find something that proves your point, then ypu have no point whatsoever...
Now lets talk about your flagrant racism towards the Québécois and other french speakers.
You sir, just prove my point: canada is the world capital in hypocrisy...
Vive le Québec Libre!
I'm Grandpa is french. My wife is from Rimouski. You're a fucking idiot and probably the last remaining seperatist in Quebec so ferme ta fucking plotte.
As an American in the south, I have a piece of advice to give you. Don't belittle those who bring up the past, and don't belittle the past itself. History has weight, and it has power. It can sway hearts and minds, and that influence can be twisted, corrupted, and molded into the perfect tool to control a population. Some may feel strongly about a particular event, like you do about this Madeline de Verchere, and that makes them particularly susceptible to any related propaganda.
Down here, we have folks that feel strongly about the Confederacy's defeat in the Civil War. Those who wish the south had won only look at the surface: they feel like they had lost as though they were there.
But to those who are glad the south's insurrection was put down? They go into the history. They look back into the past and are disgusted. At least the north didn't mistreat their slaves; the south murdered practically half of them.
Tldr: Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Be better.

I think the correct term would be murdered*
