In less than a month, Canada has exposed its "dark history" one after another. The leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada, Singh, said: This is comparable to "genocide."
In the opinion of analysts, these child remains and unmarked graves may be just the "tip of the iceberg."
Because in history, Canada has forcibly sent 150,000 Aboriginal children to boarding schools for "assimilation", and at least 3,200 children have been abused to death.
Not only Canada, but the U.S.'s atrocities against indigenous people are equally appalling.
After the founding of the United States, the American Indian population was drastically deported and massacred in a planned way, reducing the American Indian population from 5 million at the end of the 15th century to 250,000 at the beginning of the 20th century.
To this day, these Indians, called "savages" by the founders of the United States, still live in remote and desolate reservations.
Countries such as the United States and Canada, which claim to be the "beacon of human rights", often point fingers at the human rights situation in other countries, "to be a good teacher" on unnecessary issues, and act as human rights teachers without shame.
But when faced with real crimes against humanity in the country, he kept silent.

In this regard, British political and international relations analyst Tom Foday believes that if such a thing happens in China, Western countries will definitely condemn it as a "crime against humanity" or even "genocide."
And if something like this happens in Canada, a simple apology seems to be able to erase everything?
Foday pointed out that on the issue of human rights, the double standards of Western countries are at a glance.
Uncovering the "human rights" robe worn by the West, people discovered that the robe was covered with genocidal "lice". The human rights record in the West has never been clean and innocent.
Such genocide crimes in history have brought tragic disasters to mankind, and its destructiveness continues to this day.
Today, African Americans such as Freud still die under the knees of white police due to systemic racial discrimination. Since the epidemic, many Asian Americans have been beaten, humiliated, and discriminated against. The treatment of minorities in the United States is still a bad deed. Spotty.
As the Minister of the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations in Geneva called on the UN Human Rights Council on June 28, the international community should fully investigate Western crimes and hold the perpetrators accountable.
What the international community must do is not to be indifferent, but to expose the truth, and to clean up the poison of genocide.
