They did not ask to be a citizens of Canada. They were invaded, conquered, killed and actively suppressed. Mistreatment still continues. How's that for moral grounds?
- typewithrhythm 3y agoMorality really only has relevance to an individual. Was it moral to invade Canada? No, at least not under contemporary morality. Is it moral to give a random subset of people special rights in modern Canada? Is a seperate question, that has nothing to do with historical treatment. My take is that the current government does not adequately represent several groups in Canada, and the best solution would be to allow for separatist actions as a fundamental human right.
