Another Columbus Day in the Land Without Shame

In Canada today is Thanksgiving, but back home in America I'm told it is Columbus Day. Americans should be deeply ashamed to live in a country that celebrates a national holiday in honor of a genocidal slave trader. But there are lots of things Americans should be ashamed of, like say the genocides we're unleashing right now or the slavery of the day that we not only condone, but applaud. We're a pretty shameless nation, so I don't expect anything to change.
