There were provincial acts in Alberta and BC for sterilisation of people with mental illness, disabilities, and First Nations women.

I saw people flipping out about how great Canada is for changing the national anthem to being more inclusive. Well the national anthem is based on settler colonialism for one, but for Canada to be awesome it's gonna take more than changing pronouns in the anthem.

I miss Canada, and I love a lot of things about Canada and the people I have there. But fuck off with this bullshit valorisation of a country that continues to shit on marginalised peoples.
