Canada's influence on Apartheid
A while ago, I met with an Indigenous (Ojibway) Elder. He was talking about Canada being the blueprint for Apartheid in South Africa. He cited the government forcing people onto specific lands (Reserves in Canada), forbidding these people to leave the area without permission and "numbering" them (what we call Status Indian). While there do appear to be these similarities, to what extent did Canada influence the development of Apartheid? 142.46.150.122 (talk) 18:02, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
