Hey, nobody said that Canada is perfect. But at least we don't murder migrant workers, we give women rights, and don't jail people for being gay.

Canada also doesn't make abuse and inhumane treatment of people part of the law, so if these things happen, we seek change to remedy it. 🤭

First Nations people would like to disagree with you there bud. Canada still occupies unceded native land, regularly does raids on First Nations sovereign territory, and has been running concentration camps for kids in form of residential schools into late 80s. Canada is one of the most deplorable apartheid regimes in the world today.

We have been making great strides to not only reconcile the horrible things our government did to our first nations people, but to also go beyond that and to actually recognize and celebrate the importance of our first nations.

A far cry from how Qatar treats regular people. But keep trying.
