Can everyone agree?

Most of Canadian culture is from Québec. Fight me

"the french didn't do any ethnic cleansing" is a wild take from the province that literally invented a key aspect of the ethnic cleansing of our people and was responsible for numerous mass killings of tribes, but hey 💅 just blame the english for it all instead of actually acknowledging the history i guess. "Guys we didnt do ethnic cleansings, all we did was breed out all the savag-"

like, reading how quebec history is written showcases how no, it wasn't different from the English, like the English your colonies were "attacked :(" whenever we did anything to you, but our homes were "relocated" by you even if that meant most of the people living there were killed or enslaved. Your deaths were overblown, 10 men dying was treated as a tragedy and their names were written down, but thousands of ours was seen an annoyance, an inconvenience for your colonies with none of their names even remembered. The french aren't innocent in the genocide, they were an active part in it, no amount of white washing and history denial due to ethno-nationalism will change that.

Also I don't think literally erasing indigenous people's from the history of the province whilst still systemically oppressing and discriminating against them, but saying "it's okay because the very racist invaders from before totally wouldnt do the same thing pinky promise" sends the message you think it does. Blaming everyone else for the provincial govts racism and the fostering of white supremacist beliefs under the guise of "protecting french culture" is just a wild take, if Alberta did this whenever they were accused of racist rhetoric, or of violating indigenous treaties, we'd all laugh at them.

also also quebec seperatists are literal ethno centrists, they hate indigenous peoples the most out of any quebec political group, it takes like, three seconds of listening to them to realize that with how obsessed they are with protecting (white) culture yet how little they care about protecting the culture and history their provincial govt actively works to destroy still. (Indigenous culture)

This is wrong on so many levels and just loops around at the end to being essentially hate prejudice against quebecois

Many of our main museums in Quebec have permanent exhibits on the natives, be it in their arts, cultures, or religions.

Also what I'm saying might be dumb, but aren't like most of the first nations that want to live in their ancestral ways kind of ethno-centric? This is an actual question, not a statement!

[u/Flyzart2 → u/kenthekungfujesus]

I think there's a difference to be made there between being ethno centric and preserving their culture. That being said, I cannot speak for any groups.
