What sublime irony....and here we have had many a settler on these threads telling us all that this kind of thing happened in the past and Canada is no longer like this, even though I and many others know different, and understand how white privilege operates in this society.  What is even more amusing are the settlers posting on this story questioning it's veracity, or suggesting that the "whole truth" is being ignored.  Nope.  It isn't at all.  The story is pretty much what it is, and what many a dark-skinned Canadians experiences at the hands of their white settler neighbours.   What a great way to go into our "Canada 150" celebrations, eh?  Here is actual proof of how Natives were dealt with at the time of Confederation...and this country is still going on strong by treating them the same way a 150 years later!

Oh Canada!
