Holier-than-thou LIBERAL Canadians, think they're soooo superior when it comes
to slavery, because they "ended" it (not really) a mere 30 years earlier.
Canada "ended" slavery a mere 30 years before Lincoln wrote the "Emancipation Proclamation".
HOW does that make Canada ANY "better" or different? It doesn't.
It makes us 30 years better...
No... you said my "numbers were off."
But that's moot anyways. Out of mankind's existence, YOU think "30 years better" is something to be proud of?
Also, you think Canadians just gave up all their slaves and indentured service once the "law" was laid down?
If you buy that bullshit...

The Story of Black Slavery In Canadian History
Slavery Was Part of Canada's Colonial Nation-Building For Over 200 YEARS
By Steve McCullough And Matthew McRae
On March 25, 1807, the slave trade was abolished throughout the British Empire, including British North America. This made it illegal to buy or sell human beings and so ended British participation in the transatlantic slave trade. But it didn't outlaw holding and exploiting enslaved people. The overall practice of slavery was abolished everywhere in the British Empire in 1834. Notably, Prince Edward Island had already pronounced the complete abolition of slavery in 1825.
1834. Suck it, pansey.

Canada's Slavery Secret: THE WHITEWASHING OF 200 YEARS OF ENSLAVEMENT
Our Collective Silence Amounts To An 'Erasure of Blackness,' Says Historian
Canada's towns, parks and universities abound with statues and street signs that have immortalized our "founding fathers." But there is no sign of the men, women and children that some of these powerful men enslaved.
Small wonder then, that many of us today are unaware that Indigenous and African peoples were forced into bondage across colonial Canada.
Hiding two centuries of slavery requires some effort, and it is a collective silence that historian Afua Cooper calls the "erasure of Blackness."
There's perhaps no better symbol of erasure than an invisible cemetery.
Slavery is Canada's best-kept secret
Canada has burnished its reputation as the terminal station of the Underground Railroad, a safe haven for runaway slaves. Generations of Canadians have grown up with the idea that slavery somehow stopped at the American border.
