Canadians have a lot to learn about this country's history of slavery, experts say

6. SO name one of those Canadian Plantations"

And perhaps demonstrate how the Canadian economy was grounded in slavery.

Yes Canadian (and ALL) school history is indeed selective - the Beothuk would know this if there were still any extant. However just as there is a legal and ethical difference between assault causing bodily harm and genocide so there is a major difference between Canadian/British slavery and US slavery even if people give them the same name. To attempt to equate the two commits the fallacy of false equivalence: is an extremely intellectually dishonest tactic, and actually trivialises the atrocity of US slavery

Yes - slavery in all its forms (which includes bonded servitude and uncompensated plantation prisoners) is an abomination but this does not make Canadian or British slavery equivalent. Context is always an essential factor in the comparisons of evil.
