Aboriginals have been an important part of Canadian history, as they have been deeply connected to our triumphs and trials in the past. In the past, Canadians used Aboriginals as slaves and sold them for labour. It was cheap, economically profitable and advantageous for those who did it, but was it morally proper? Absolutely not. White privilege is another issue, due to the many races around the world. This refers to “in many societies, white people have access to greater power, authority and privileges than non-white people.” White privilege can come in many forms; better jobs leading to better pay, better respect and treatment, and so on. While injustices such as this shouldn’t exist in our world, it does due to our society and how we treat
