sabotabby: two lisa frank style kittens with a zizek quote (trash can of ideology)
The pattern of settler-Indigenous relations on this land goes like this:

Settler government (of the Liberal variety): We're so sorry that we screwed you over for so many years. *cry actual tears*
Indigenous people: We live here.
Settler government: Sure, yeah, cool. *Pause* We want a thing that you have on your land.
Indigenous people: Uh, we live here and get to decide that.
Settler government: Cool, so, we're just going to take it then.

*several years later, after multiple court cases*

Settler government (of the Liberal variety): We're so sorry that we screwed you over for so many years. *cry actual tears* *continues selling arms to Saudi Arabia*

(The Conservative version of this skips a few steps but has the same result.)

How anyone could see this happening, for the entire course of Canadian history, and not be surprised when the Nice White Leader turns out to have blacked up for funsies when he taught at a private school, boggles my mind.

It's almost like this country was built on a foundation of white supremacy or something omg
