The Confederacy did. Sorry, your attempt at historical relativism fails. Not all historical evils are the same and it's beyond mere offense
So, everything I know about the circumstances that led to the independence of Canada I learned from Chester Brown's Louis Riel. Is there anything in the Canadian Constitution that says anything like:
Quote:No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.Because that's from the Confederate States of America's constitution (Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4)
Or is there a Canadian equivalent to the Declaration of Independence and is there anything in it that says
Quote:Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery, the greatest material interest of the world.... There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union.Because when the state of Mississippi decided to secede from the union, that's literally the first thing they said about why. Same with Texas, Same with Georgia, and South Carolina kept that part a little closer to the vest, but that only means that it took until the second half of the document for them to launch into a rant about it.
Did any of the members of John A. Macdonald's cabinet say anything like:
Quote:Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.That's from Confederacy VP Alexander Stephens' "Cornerstone Speech."
And, perhaps most importantly, is the Canadian flag being used predominantly by hate groups who (with varying degrees of openness) still largely support the above horseshit? Or are there some groups with some degree of power at least trying to fix the harm caused by said horseshit?
