As “the world (watches) in horror as a sovereign and democratic country is violently invaded by one of the most powerful armies on the planet, … Canada’s hypocrisy (is) on full display,” according to Ricochet contributor Brandi Morin.
While emphasizing that “Russia’s bombing of Ukraine is unquestionably wrong,” Morin contends that Canada is “guilty of human-rights violations within its own borders” — specifically, in northern British Columbia, where the “invasion of Wet’suwet’en territory” has been underway for years.
The “mountainous wildland where Wet’suwet’en people have walked for millennia … has never been ceded,” she notes. “But Canada and the province of British Columbia claimed it for their own after establishing a colonial dynasty of domination.”
