Rupa Subramanya And the people who feign ignorance have no difficulty identifying the ancestral populations of these nations when they want to blame those people for things like 'colonialism' and 'the (ongoing) genocide of indigenous peoples.' Their ignorance is phoney and is used as a weapon.
Rupa Subramanya Even if you argue that the modern nation is no longer constituted in this way, because all it apparently takes to be fully Canadian is to possess citizenship, this is not how the historical nation was constituted. We were a confederation of two peoples - french and english.
Rupa Subramanya Canada's ancestral heritage is ethnically binational: we're a federalized union between a french nation and an anglo-saxon nation. It is a peculiar kind of racism to feign ignorance of this historical fact. Everyone who went to high school knows who constituted Canada.
I don’t even normally shop at Loblaws, but I’m going to during this “boycott.”
Why?
Because progressives hate them, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
