This from a country that assassinates targets in other sovereign nations at will. The ugly racist transatlantic slave trading and colonial gene is alive and kicking in the newsroom at The Washington Post

This is what got Washington’s goat, right ⁦Secretary Antony Blinken⁩ ⁦Jake Sullivan⁩?

#Canada , as ⁦Justin Trudeau⁩ knows, is land stolen from indigenous people by British colonists. Following #Pope granting “Doctrine of Discovery” to Spanish & Portuguese colonists in South America, British loyalists occupied Canada after US independence using same doctrine
