American History: Canadian Morality and American Benchmark

american history: As far back as the late 1800s when Canada had a state-mandated policy of starving Indigenous folks into reservations and submission, white Canadians still held themselves on a moral platform above America, according to Rabble. Donald Trump's presidency has been traumatizing for people of colour, immigrants, women, LGBTQ folks and the poor. Calling this an age-old proverb isn't me sprinkling the truth with a little bit of Maggi/salt/MSG or your seasoning of choice. White Canadians however, have benefited from yet another American benchmark to measure themselves against. Not only do these smears on American history polish the shine on Canadian morality, it serves as a tool to silence non-white people in Canada. For as long as America has it's well documented, relatively publicized history of slavery, oppression and genocide, Canada thrives. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
