In Canada, the federal government advised that First Nations should be given vaccinations before people who are 74 and have high-risk medical conditions. This was authorized for all First Nations communities, not just those who are remote (only 1/3rd of all FN communities in Canada, btw).

So healthy 18 year old indigenous kids were getting COVID vaccines before 74 year olds with high-risk medical conditions living in the same city. (Note: This also happened in New Brunswick, Ontario, and Newfoundland but I was silly and didn't archive the pages.)

Over 96% of COVID deaths were from people 65+.

There was NO rational basis to prioritize race over age.

Our government killed non-indigenous seniors anyways. All because of idpol and wokeism and optics.

So don't ever fucking tell me "it's just people on the internet" again.

This is a concrete, manifest example of systemic racism but nobody wants to talk about it. Which is consistent, given they also worship at the altar of people who prioritized talking about how we fuck over actually feeding other people.
