Yes this. Trump was happy to rename Ontario, the name the lake has held for centuries, even before Europeans arrived. There is a reason Canadas First Nations are deeply pro crown, republican Quebec or Alberta would follow America in replacing all things indigenous with their white alternatives.

True but it shows Pandoras box has been open. We need serious legislation against this.

Too sarcastic that they caused a PR mess, is definitely possible.

“In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That’s all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place.”

Not only is their joke lame and distasteful the studio is also revealing they have no idea what they are talking about. No, AGI is not almost here. This is a bigger joke than their stupid post.

You completely ignored every point i raised, instead choosing to swear emotionally. This isnt really turning into a very constructive conversation.

You are also stealing their voice. There are tens of thousands of indigenous who do identify as Canadian and you are not allowing any of that.

Navigating legal systems is what we all have to do. I would argue the crime of neoliberalism is just as damning to the human journey and all souls are forced to navigate this too. The only way to fight colonialism and neoliberalism is through realism.

Also, many chiefs openly argue they willing decided to side with the crown to get recognized as sovereigns because they seen the long term value. You are stealing their voice too and infantalizing them.

Edit: to underscore the irony and realism: First Nations in Quebec and Alberta have made the case that their status and relationship with the crown protects them from republican separatism as Quebec and Alberta offer little assurances they would recognize their sovereignty.

First Nations are amongst the most pro crown, pro-supreme court of Canada, pro-court groups in Canada because they have relentlessly pursued justice through court cases and have slowly established a strong predicent.

98% of First Nations voted to stay in Canada during Quebecs last referendum and the Albertan chiefs have flat out rejected leaving their relationship with the crown behind.

You are right the past is riddled with genocide and violence but Canada and its relationship as well as constitutional status of first nations has grown tremendously.

Overly restrictive? I dunno. Ma and pa shops on every block with a wide selection at prices and quality I could only dream of when I was buying from "my guy", meanwhile the rest of the world treats it like the devil's lettuce. Maybe your province did it poorly. Some did it not bad.

Its partly why for our indie title hermertia wars we are making playtests free and ubiquitous on our steam page instead of launching as early access ;)

Hell yeah! Turns out the most staunch defenders of canadian rule of law, democracy, and sovereignty are the very people that signed hard earned agreements with a parochial Britain to protect exactly this. Canada advances democracy through our relationship with our indigenous, should we continue to embrace democracy.
