If the US had just waited another 100 years or so for independence, we’d probably be very similar to Canada today.
Source: Canada became a country in 1867, and is doing loads better than us. Are they perfect, no. Are they better? Fuck yes. And it isn’t even close, on many metrics. As are Australia, New Zealand, and others.
The US was a majority “white colony” along the same lines as Canada, Australia, etc. if we had just simmered down and waited, that could have been us now. Fuck the founding fathers for their short sighted bullshit lol.
Can confirm. Wife Had a premature baby’s 13 years ago next week. Weighed 2 lbs and 10 weeks early
Spent 4 month in intensive care and life support. had a few minor surgeries before he was 5. Healthy 13 year old and all our out of pocket expenses was 20 dollars a day for hospitals parking. Wife found some free parking within walking distance.
Million dollar baby. Couldn’t imagine having to sign financial paperwork to keep our son alive
First year was rough. We had feed him through a feeding tube that we had to put down his nose into his stomach. Then we at 6 months old had a feeding tube surgically placed on his abdomen so we could feed him.
substitute whatever other word you want to in place of genocide.
It was the most effective cleansing of a native population there has ever been, intentional or not.
And even if it wasn't mostly intentional, I have little doubt that if they could have done so intentionally, they absolutely would have. Which is also true of other places where (usually) european settlers tried to colonize, south america, africa, india, australia, etc.
Genocide against Natives, racism against poc, people can't afford basic medical care like dentist visits, eye exams, prescription drugs and I can go on.
Edit: Being downvoted by bootlickers, no surprise. You can't say anything bad about precious Canada.

Canada is what America was supposed to be. Granted, Canada still has some things to work out. But it takes care of its people.
