US history before the last 50 years was rather a shitshow with regards to human rights, uprisings, and state violence itself! So let's not pretend it's any more civlizied than the countries that its founders came from.
In many ways it ended up less civilized than its northern neighbor, which seems to fight rather fewer wars of aggression.
- iammisc 5y agoCanada has no need to fight wars of aggression. It has only one neighbor, the united states, a nation with which it essentially shares most culture and language (Canadian English and American English is almost 100% identical). It never will need to fight a war because the United States will never let anyone near Canada. This is like claiming the isle of mann never fought a war while ignorning it's protectorate status with the UK. For all intents and purposes, Canada is a protectorate of the united states, we just don't call it that to avoid diplomatic incident.
