    I've deleted and redrafted this several times now… but am I unreasonable for being weirded out and a bit offended by how out of touch rich-and-powerful-people journalism is? Canada, like Australia, is soaked in blood. This is just public image laundry for a country with the same genocide cops and resource extraction monstrosities as all the other colonies, and I'm guessing most of the people reading a niche link aggregator aren't really the target audience.

    If things like this are going to try and memory hole the crimes of a state, we should conscientiously memory hole crappy fluff pieces like this. Who's moving to Canada? Who has the ability to initiate infrastructure projects or run funding requests up the political ladder?

    If nothing else, just as a personal request. I just spent a long time trying to stay calm and articulate (or relative to my original state upon reading this) because this really made my blood boil.
