I am kind of curious, but is any of this making international news? It seems like Canada gets a lot of free passes on things.

I would expect China, Russia, and Iran to be eating it up anyway. Of course, Russia's treatment of indigenous peoples wasn't great either, just read about their encounters with the Yupik whom they tried to wipe out and then enslaved. As a side note, the Yupik are very interesting people and their traditional territory is in modern day Siberia, Alaska, and Yukon. I think they are the only nation that spans North America and Asia.
