    I just didn’t happen to know about it until my aunt told me a third cousint did a family tree recently and identified a few distant relatives who are indigenous, so it was interesting for me is all. I knew I was partly Quebecois but I didn’t know about the Habitant part either.

    It’s just really visible now. I looked at r/Canada a few times and I’m just horrified at what they say. I’m not saying it wasn’t present but they’re normalizing saying deport people.

      r/Canada is not representative of Canada … r/Canada is representative of a fearful, ignorant, arrogant group of conservative nutjobs that may or may not be Canadian (or even human for that matter (meaning they are bots, not in saying that I deny a human opponents humanity))

      Even years ago before I left Reddit /r/Canada was a right-wing racist shithole. I never went in there. It definitely does not represent the majority of Canadians.
