Down in the USA they rounded up the injuns and shot them dead. Up in canada they tried to give them clothes food and an education. Look which country has more problems with natives now eh
Maybe they should have rounded up the blacks and shot them too.

Canada was vaccinating aboriginals in what is now BC in 1830 against smallpox. We gave them the vote from confederation if they met the qualifications that was required of white person after they relinquished their special status. We treated them far better than the USA which is why they were ten times more likely to survive. But lefty wants to focus on disputes and demonize white Canadians.
I live in the Edmonton area.
I was taught in the 1960's that the Woodland Cree spread West from Upper Canada (Ontario) in early 1600's and slaughtered and enslaved the local Western Canadian aboriginals to steal their furs to trade with the Europeans.
Today the only 'aboriginals' left in Central Alberta are the Northern Cree. Hard to see why they are the 'First Nation' of Alberta when they got here only a hundred years before the Europeans.
I read a tweet last month by Stephen Macintyre (Climate Audit) that cited evidence that the Arizona Apaches were originally from Northern Alberta, but had left/been driven out thousands of years ago.
