Today is the anniversary of a Canadian atrocity.

I know an elder who remembers this. Her father was out on the land when the RCMP came to her settlement and killed all the dogs. Her father stayed away from the settlement with his dog team. He was the only one able to hunt and provide food for the community. He lived alone in the tundra with his dogs, hiding from RCMP for a long time. https://www.vice.com/en/article/zn8wy8/the-rcmp-and-quebecs-provincial-police-nearly-killed-off-the-inuit-sled-dog #RCMP #Inuit #Genocide #Indigenous #CanadianGenocide #famine #SledDog #DogSled #Qamutik #PoliceViolence #PoliceBrutality
The RCMP and Quebec's Provincial Police Nearly Killed Off the Inuit Sled Dog

Between 1950 and 1970, police used a loophole in an agricultural law to slaughter thousands of dogs, in what many say was an attempt to move the Inuit off the land and into stationary "civilization."

Probably the most horrific thing I've noticed about Canada in the last year, and particularly on the Zuckfuck is the outright denial of the residential school genocide that occured here.

We have living survivors, and still a bunch of white people who can listen to their stories and say, "Nah, that didn't happen. That's bullshit."

It makes me wonder how people are raised without humanity or critical thinking. Even coming from a massively traumatizing family, I managed to walk out with that.
