      This reminds me of the murals at the Pawnee city hall in parks and rec

      Side note: for this atrocity, we Canadians punished the Catholic Church by… Checks notes… Publicly funding all Catholic schools in Canada.

        “Publicly funding all Catholic schools in Canada.”

        All the other sentences in this thread are obviously atrocious, but this one is plain old infuriating.

        I know it’s an “American” thing, but the people of a country should never be forced to pay for someone else’s religious bullshit especially when it’s indoctrinating and essentially torturing a portion of the populace.

          It’s fucked we pay for only one specific religion’s education system, especially when that religion has trillions of dollars in their coffers

        And how did we punish the RCMP? By allowing them to still exist and making the old uniforms a national icon.

          The RCMP are like the Texas Rangers, they have this clean cut hero PR image, when in reality they’re a bunch of thugs and corrupt narcissists.

          Even our police are fucked up and almost as bad as American cops, never forget the G20!
