    This Emmi fellow, using mass graves as strawman argument it seems. Also, wasn’t proof of the mass graves for indigenous people never provided?

      Canada has in fact deeply fucked up with it’s indigenous population, though the specifics of just how deeply the graves left by the residential schools go is something that seems to shift every time I dig into it. There’s no debate that the Canadian state killed a lot of indigenous people’s though.

      However, that doesn’t have anything to do with correctly identifying the Russian disminformation machine. Even in some kind of “whataboutism” argument, Canada has legally taken blame for those deaths and created the entire Truth and Reconciliation movement to start trying to set things right. Comparing Canada saying aloud “we have fucked up and we want to fix it” to any state-run media in Russia is just laughable, at best.

      Some were found, but then there was an alleged series that arose from hysteria from traumatized communities and no evidence came to light for those.
