- It's crazy that is was so recent in 2019.
What the heck?! How is this still happening in Canada. I would’ve thought most of the docs here would’ve been run out of town on a rail for doing something like this.
Agree with the sanctions comment. Make it hurt for our gov to tolerate this bullshit.
- If there were 12000 bank robberies or murders which were all related, I doubt we would still have the same string of illegal activity happening.
  Making something is Criminal, illegal or condemned won’t stop it, there needs to actually consequences that occur. There a bunch of people that need some severe repercussions if we expect this stop.
- because indigenous people are not people in the eyes of authorities
So to be consistent with the solar bans due to the Uyghur genocide we should sanction all energy products from Canada now, right?
- People don't like it, but you're right. It is unacceptable in both cases.
- We don't have to be consistent about anything and facts can stand on their own. It isn't like if I didn't do the correct thing at one point in my life that I can never ever do the correct thing ever again.
  Bad stuff is happening in Canada. Bad stuff is happening in many places. Independent facts.
