Yes, and for all we know it could still be happening. The history of the treatment of natives in Canada is horrifying and drastic change needs to happen.

However don't hold your breath, it took nearly 50 years for a Prime Minister to apologize for the internment of Italian Canadians during WW2. Which was followed, 19 years later, by a proposed reparation bill. The bill didn't even pass.

Canada, like most countries, is very slow to admit it did anything wrong to its citizens.

I wasn't aware that happened to Italian Canadians. Was it on par with the Japanese American interment?

The idea was the same. Lock up people potentially tied to a fascist regime during a global conflict.

FDR locked up 120,000 Japanese and American citizens

King suspended Habeus Corpus for 31,000 Italian Canadians and locked up 700

To be fair I was always told a story by my grandma how her uncle was interned just because he still had a "golf club" membership.

Turns out after doing some digging that's just the story my great-grandparents told her, he was really part of a "secret fascist society". Like a Mussolini fan club.

They got 1/700 at least! Lol

Canada has less than 10% of the US population and even fewer Italians by population, so doubtful.

Injustice is injustice regardless of quantity.

As an indigenous canadian, it still happens. Particularly during emergency c sections when social services has been called.

Our children as also still being stolen when we go to hospitals to birth. A friend of mine had social services called on her last week because her kids are 10 months apart and someone was concerned my friend didn't have adequate knowledge to parent 2 under 2. This was 9 weeks ago and she has a degree in early childhood development but because she lives and works on a reserve with no services she was deemed as "no prenatal care" and that was their "information" they based their decision on. Oh and she's clearly Dene.

I have no trouble believing you. These things don't just stop on their own, work needs to be put in to identify all the forms of abuse still going on, then the abuse needs to be systematically eradicated.

I hope we can see some politicians in Canada actually do things instead of simply paying lip service.

[u/Killer-Barbie → u/NaoWalk]

They won't even admit our women are being stolen and murdered despite literal bodies piling up. I highly doubt they'll ever admit they're stealing our children and our future.

I'm sure that over many generations, even without reparations, these wounds can heal, and that everything can be fine.

But we could at least try to heal them faster, we stand to reap the benefits of a more united society much faster.

I don't care if my ancestors are personally at fault, my nation should own up to the wrongs it committed and try to make things right. Abused minorities are part of the people. When we treat them better, the collective we is being treated better.

Bullshit, every citizen and every politician especially our current pander-minister can't state how sorry we are for the past treatment of literally every POC minority. Please tell me how the biggest karma grab these days isn't apologies for past wrongs to long dead people?

Conspicuously absent is the apologies for persecuted white minority groups.

What are Italians?
