Unless you’re indigenous. Then you’ll get thrown into a mass grave, and the authorities won’t do a thing about it when you’re discovered.
Indigenous women are still kidnapped and forcefully sterilized
…Which is no longer happening
Bullshit. Plenty of studies and news stories covering the continued violence against Canadian indigenous, and the refusal of the government to properly address or investigate the problem.
Proof? You’re making the claims the burden of evidence is on you.
As far as I know the two women killed in Manitoba were the result of a serial killer and Wab did the right thing.
We definitely treat our indigenous poorly but as far as I know we are no longer throwing them in mass graves.

Which mass graves have you known about as they were being filled, rather than when they were discovered after the fact? How can you possibly confidently proclaim it’s not happening anymore, as indigenous peoples (especially women and children) continue to go missing in high numbers?
Are they actively murdering and burying indigenous people in mass graves? This report is on the historical failings of the government as it pertains to 2022.
To be clear as of that report the government was not acknowledging their failures to account for and prevent these atrocities not that they were actively committing them.
Oh. You’re a genocide denier.
I don’t think the genocide is active anymore, this is a super weird hill to die on. To be honest Canada has a LONG way to go in terms of reconciliation. land acknowledgements, etc are a super fake check mark to be “native friendly” but they are a step in the right direction. No, Canadians are not actively murdering first Nations and burying them in mass graves.
Yes, the there still is some cultural genocide and the communities are still absolutely struggling to recover from being completely fucked by the Catholic Church and the Canadian government with residential schools, rascism, reserve system and destruction of food sources.
Pick your battles better.
Is this AI
Yep
This is surprising good. Seems it can do cartoon hands better than real hands. What clued you off to it being AI?
Some recent AI model does this style of drawing for comics. https://lemmy.world/post/27797997
That’s kind of an interesting concept, being able to detect AI art by the model’s “style”
The yellow tour bus was the biggest clue to me, after that I started noticing other things. In Canada yellow buses are for school, tour buses are usually red and white.
No, this is Patrick.
But we will sterilize you without your permission if you are a native!
Will you do that for non natives too? Asking for me
Get a good tan and I’m sure they will find time for you.
I am tan, and a free Song and dance is appealing. Tell me more
And don’t complain about losing your land for a pipeline.
“lethal overwatch is req’d” “use as much violence toward the gate as you want”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/dec/20/canada-indigenous-land-defenders-police-documentsProof we still do this to any indigenous people at any time in the 21st century?
https://nwac.ca/policy/forced-sterilization
Despite legislation Indigenous women allege they were coerced into consenting to sterilization, often during vulnerable moments such as childbirth, from the mid 1970s onwards.[64] In June 2021, the Standing Committee on Human Rights in Canada found that compulsory sterilization is ongoing in Canada and its extent has been underestimated.[65] A bill was introduced to Parliament in 2024 to end the practice.[66]

Yeah, but foreign visitors wouldn’t have to worry about that.

No, you’ll do something worse. You’ll send me back to America. :(
Well… There was that time the RCMP provided bogus, seemingly fabricated information to the CIA resulting in Meher Arar’s extraordinary rendition and ten months of torture. For no obvious reason.
Sorry to be a pedant, but it’s Salvadoran, not “El Salvadorian”.
I’m American, I can’t afford too
Does this imply there is a Canadian process to throw people into an El Salvadorian Gulag?
They’re called “residential schools” in Canada.
The last residential school closed in 1997 and the government has since profusely apologized for their part in this disgusting history. Where is evidence this is still carrying on in the 21st century?
Here’s a report from human rights watch: https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2023/country-chapters/canada
Nothing in there is stating the government is murdering indigenous people and burying them in mass graves.
Only during war time when they get feeling like Geneva checklist.
With due process you say?
Native Americans in Canada have entered the chat. 😒
They don’t like to be called that just fyi
I am aware that, in the United States at least, they care to be called American Indians. But in the interest of accuracy I made a choice.
Here we say indigenous or First Nations peoples.
Ah, TIL
Thanks
at this point, I’d do unpaid labor for Canadian citizenship and my life would still probably improve drastically.
Can you make one exception… maybe like five, or a few hundred. I have a list.
So you’re saying there’s a chance?
so many people in my life are talking about leaving to come to BC. are trump refugees something you guys would actually be cool with? I know some people in the world would resent us for not staying and doing what we can to clean his shit show up
I’m not gonna blame anyone for fleeing fascism. At least if you leave, they’re not getting your tax dollars* or labour.
That said, be aware that there is a housing crisis in Canada, and it’s most severe in the metro Vancouver area.
*I think you would actually have to renounce US citizenship for this to be true, but I’m also unsure how aggressively the IRS would pursue tax collection from emigrants.
As a general rule, people with US citizenship working in most other countries still have to file US taxes, but they end up owing nothing. There’s a big exemption for wages earned in other countries, so unless you’re making a lot of money and simultaneously living in a place with very low taxes, your payment will be $0. This sometimes affects say bankers who move to Switzerland where they make a lot of money and don’t pay much in taxes. But, for most jurisdictions (including Canada) the taxes are more-or-less on par with the US or higher so you don’t end up owing anything.
Thanks, yes! That sounds much more correct.
All I could remember is that my partner’s US-born family members have periodically been paranoid about filing US taxes due to changes over the years, but not the specifics.
Most of them have renounced, but apparently that started costing thousands of dollars some years ago, so some remain dual citizens.
that’s fair we have a house shortage too but not because of a shortage of houses. I came from an area were people were fighting eachother for places to live so I don’t personally want to exacerbate your guys’ situation. I’ll keep studying languages, thank you for your answer
To be clear, that wasn’t meant as a discouragement, more just as a heads-up on what to expect.
It’s “better” in smaller towns, but that comes at the cost of less infrastructure and services.
Imo it’s been pretty predictable for years that we might need to absorb a lot of US emigrants, and while it’s very popular to blame the housing crisis on new arrivals, it’s fundamentally the result of decades of policy failures by successive governments of a country that relies heavily on immigration.
That said, there are probably better options for those who can afford it.
If you want to come to BC, prepare to make less money and pay more for housing
As so.eone whose rent has doubled in 4 years without moving, I’ve been prepping for that for years.
Hey, I would love to move to Canada as I unfortunately live in a shitty place but I cannot do that unless I can get a work visa and it’s hard to get that. If anyone has a solution, I would love to hear it
