For everyone still saying Canada is better than the USA I would like to remind them of
The genocide of indigenous peoples
The awful treatmeant of indigenous peoples that still goes on today
The fact we had slaves and segregated schools (look up when the last one closed in Canada it will make you sick)
Speaking of awful schools look up when the last residential school closed in Canada. I dare you
The Chinese head tax
The use of Asian people to build things at a cheaper cost also while using them to do the dangerous jobs so white peoples didn’t have to die
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Children
Police brutality that regularly involves black, native, and afro-indigenous peoples
The Mosque attack, aka targeted attack on Muslim and Islamic peoples that was considered a terroist attack
Starlight tours -cough still happen today cough-
Quebec trying to remove any religious symbol in pubic except for catholic ones
The mistreatment of Jagmeet Singh during the last election him being called “a terroist”, “towel head”, and told to “go back where he came from”
Also during the election the Peoples Party, and Bloc making very bold and disgusting statements about how BIPOC, and LGBTQA+ people were disgusting and damaging Canada
Speaking of the Bloc the white French man to is the leader decided to vote down teaching about systematic racism in Canada. When Jagmeet Singh called the Bloc leader what he is, a racist, Jagmeet was then thrown out and the Bloc leader demanded an apology. 🙃
The lack of health care, and basic needs in rez’s which caused a mass suicide in one Rez along with how gross that treatment is
More with police, racial profiling of BIPOC, want to see someone talk about it Tracy from “The Social” talked about her son getting stopped when he was with his white friends (he’s balck) in Toronto and the cop harassing him
These are 16 points I can think of off the top of my head. Canada is not less racist it’s just good at hiding it.
me? shipping another rare pair wlw in a fandom i'm 16 yrs late to? just another tuesday
Out of context spoilers
imagine spending a morning writing letters at the kitchen table while your wife cooks breakfast. on cream-colored stationary from the papermaker's store in your little village, you detail the local goings-on and the weather patterns and the state of your vegetable garden. you tell your faraway friends and family that you miss them but that you have found true happiness here. in the margins, you sketch birds and leaves and the animal prints you saw in the mud by the creek when you went to gather wild mushrooms. you slip a pressed flower in each envelope alongside the folded letter before sealing. as you finish addressing the last one, your wife places a plate of cinnamon buns and blackberries in front of you. she kisses the top of your head and says, "a bicycle ride through the country today?" already knowing that you will say yes.
I could literally fill oceans with the love I have for you.

"Love is what makes us human" Wrong, my ability to write poetry about the moon is what makes me human

If you need to know the direction of the wind, wet your finger and stick it up high
Similarly, wetting your nose increases your ability to smell
To hear better, cup your hands behind your ears
The best time for tracking animals is when the sun is low on the horizon
When you see an animal, keep low, don't look at them head-on, and avert your head to the side
If an animal hears you, go completely still, and it's likely the animal won't notice you
Frogs are easy to find on cold mornings
Keep your footsteps rhythmic
Bigger clothing (cloaks ??) Conceal your shape better and make you harder to see
