A lot
This reminds me of the murals at the Pawnee city hall in parks and rec
Side note: for this atrocity, we Canadians punished the Catholic Church by... Checks notes... Publicly funding all Catholic schools in Canada.
I immediately thought of Parks & Rec when I saw it. They should hang this up in parliament
And how did we punish the RCMP? By allowing them to still exist and making the old uniforms a national icon.
The RCMP are like the Texas Rangers, they have this clean cut hero PR image, when in reality they're a bunch of thugs and corrupt narcissists.
Even our police are fucked up and almost as bad as American cops, never forget the G20!
Not only do you let them still exist, you let them get away with continuing to do whatever evil bullshit they want

"Publicly funding all Catholic schools in Canada."
All the other sentences in this thread are obviously atrocious, but this one is plain old infuriating.
I know it's an "American" thing, but the people of a country should never be forced to pay for someone else's religious bullshit especially when it's indoctrinating and essentially torturing a portion of the populace.
It's fucked we pay for only one specific religion's education system, especially when that religion has trillions of dollars in their coffers
they didn't get those trillions by spending their own money
Lol wait that's a real mural?!
Done by an indigenous artist to highlight the atrocities of our nation's past, but yes.
This was a very informative painting and article! Thank you for sharing this!
That was a great read, thank you.
“A Lively Fisting”
What's the name of this piece, and the context?
It's called "Sunday Boxing" and it's a joke painting from the show Parks & Rec where it hangs in the fictional Pawnee's City Hall.
We... Don't have the best track record with indigenous relations (facepalm)
The map of atrocities that's just a solid color 😂😢
