Found a source for the text book.
If you know anything about the Residency Schools, you'll know that Canada is actually behind the US on this issue. A few years ago, someone shared on reddit their kid taking home an assignment asking the student to list all the positive things that Residency Schools did for First Nation kids.
What the fuck? I always thought Canada was like Australia, but fuck that’s next level eh.
Even when I was in primary school so many decades ago, I was learning about the terrible shit we did to Aboriginal people.
Its a balance, the government is trying to push it pretty hard - but thats made some racist areas even more racist in response.
Though Hudson bay company is shutting down and we can all celebrate that
Edit: I just remembered most reserves dont even have fiber internet though it would cost pennies to connect to the existing lines. Yeah no the systematic racism is very much still here.
