Stuff like this and the "base" he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106

It's also ridiculous that there is an idea among the white ruling class that Indigenous peoples merely need financial compensation for genocide. How do you compensate for that? They need decolonisation, namely ending of discrimination, recognition of their rights and sovereignty as Indigenous peoples, and work to repair the long-lasting damage that was done, such as the massive issues with mental health, addiction, crime and abuse within Indigenous communities that arose as a direct result of residential schools. Things that require deep rooted changes to society and will take generations, not just an apology and some hush money before never bringing it up again.
