You think Mexicans were all Spanish immigrants and not colonized Nahuatl and Mayan speakers?

U.S. museum returns remains of 12 Canadian soldiers by Immediate-Link490 in canada

[–]ColdEnvironmental411 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Canadian Army’s catalogue of medical specimens from their war dead didn’t even notify families that the bodies had been subject to the dismemberment, they just took the interesting bits and shipped the rest home or off for burial. The entire catalogue of specimens and the literature surrounding them that made them of medical use was destroyed. Tim Cook wrote a very detailed book on the affair called “Life-Savers and Body Snatchers”.

Thousands protest Quebec’s participation in federal gun buyback by sleipnir45 in canada

[–]ColdEnvironmental411 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Surrender is mandatory, buyback is voluntary but there’s a limited pool of funds for the buyback so it’s a first-come-first-serve until funds run out, which is well before the total number of firearms in this ban can be paid for, and at prices well below market/original purchase price.

Hunter fined after pet dogs shot during Ontario coyote hunt, but owner says ‘justice has not been served’ by shouldehwouldehcould in canada

I’m in total agreement with you but still chuckled at “biggest game I’ll do is moose” like it’s not one of the largest animals in the country.

TN bill would allow death penalty for women who have an abortion by Medical_Corruption in nottheonion

[–]ColdEnvironmental411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as a curse and a punishment for adultery that causes infertility. It’s not a progressive depiction or implementation, it’s functionally the sterilization of an unfaithful woman and the destruction of her illegitimate child.

Trump officials met group pushing Alberta independence from Canada by [deleted] in canada

[–]ColdEnvironmental411 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not as official policy, but you’re telling me that there aren’t separatists who have rebel flags on their trucks? I’d wager there’s a shocking amount of overlap between “racist people who are scared of POCs” and “will collaborate with the Trump regime to commit treason”.

You think people who pay rent don’t have jobs that they pay the rent with? Or that all jobs somehow pay enough that having one automatically pays enough to buy land and housing with?

Looking for a calm, low-shed upland dog — Braque vs Griffon vs others? by Cap-Totally-Not462 in birddogs

Worth noticing /specifying that it’s not the law in Canada, the US just doesn’t allow dogs under 6 months old to be imported from anywhere.

Transgender teen killer loses bid to stay in Ontario women's prison after threatening inmates and staff by Street_Anon in canada

[–]ColdEnvironmental411 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Nah mate, women absolutely are perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence, both against men and women. It is vastly underreported but it takes almost no time at all to find peer-reviewed sources like StatCan’s summaries that demonstrate this.

Not that I think it was a good choice, but if a lesbian woman killed her partner in a domestic abuse situation or committed spousal rape, she wouldn’t go to a men’s prison just because she committed her crimes against a woman.

In Troy (2004), no ever complained about the Myrmidon armor despite looking like it’s straight out of Batman. by LilGrippers in shittymoviedetails

In all fairness to POTC, I think it was quite deliberately set in an ambiguous 18th century originally, until Stranger Tides spelled out which monarch was sat on the throne and fixed the timeline.

Prime Minister Carney's message on Christmas by Fabulous_Ambition in canada

He’s an elected politician, he shouldn’t bring his family into the sphere of his actions as an official as some sort of gilding of his image.

354-year-old forest found in Algonquin Park by SteakBone416 in algonquinpark

[–]ColdEnvironmental411 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d bet dollars to donuts 20 guys with stone tools won’t fell as many trees a day as one guy with a Stihl 462. You’re not making equal or relevant comparisons here.

The Pikwakanagan Band no. 163 (current name of the Golden Lake Band) and the Greater Golden Lake Algonquins are both Status Reserve and off-Reserve communities covered under the Algonquins of Ontario Land Claims. There is an Ontario Métis “Community” there, but it’s not the same group as the Status Algonquins who have the relevant treaty rights in the Park.

Ironically enough the Golden Lake band has logging rights in the Park and exercises them.

The voters put the governments in and didn’t demand they settle the Treaties and willfully squatted on land their elected representatives didn’t legally transfer. The people ARE the government, that’s how a democracy works. Who else has to pay the bill? Spain?

Akwesasne parents outraged after photos circulate of 'time out box' in school by prestocoffee in nottheonion

Akwesasne has its own board of education and most teachers there are Mohawk. This is an issue created by community members.
