> Canada has recently been having a very difficult discussion on Native American deaths and disappearances at residential schools - What difficult discussion? The natives were exterminated and have no power or recourse. How "difficult" can the discussion be when there is nothing at stake. How about this, lets have a discussion where china or russia or the UN takes half or more of canada, forms a new native nation and returns it to the native canadians. Lets see how warm canada will be to such discussions. The only thing canada is good at is superficial virtue signaling "discussions" when there is nothing at stake. > this is a discussion that could never happen under the Chinese government. That's cause china didn't go to the other side of the world and exterminate a continent full of nations. What is there to discuss? > Yes, it's wrong to say that voices are completely silenced in China and completely free in Canada - but it's pretty disingenuous to suggest they're on equal footing. No more or less they are. There are things you'll get punished for saying in china and canada. It's disingenuous to pretend one is better than the other. The only country in the world that is genuinely better than china, canada and everyone else when it comes to free speech is the US. But even here free speech is under attack both by internally and externally.
