Oh, it was the "telling Christians to go fuck themselves" was it? Not the centuries of brutal imperialistic extraction, or did you mean the past century where they had a hiccup before continuing their brutal imperialistic extraction?

I don't suffer remotely from seeing peoples' religions, and I definitely do not benefit from letting the fucking genocidal Canadian state dictate what is and is not an appropriate religious symbol. Secularism isn't areligious in a culturally Christian state like Canada, it's just a rearticulation of settler-colonial notions of "objectivity" that conveniently privileges preexisting hegemonic values. Europeans worship capital the same way Canadians do.
