Wikipedia has an entire article on African-American Culture.

African-American culture,[1][2] also known as Black American culture or Black culture in American English,[3][4][5][6][7] refers to the cultural expressions of African Americans, either as part of or distinct from mainstream American culture. African-American culture has been influential on American and global worldwide culture as a whole.[8][9][10]

I'd been waiting for a Game of the Year or Complete Edition before picking it up. Knowing there's no point makes me very happy, and just sold them a license.

You have provided exactly as many sources as the person you are responding to. If you think that you are somehow in a stronger debate position, you are incorrect.

There's a lot of leads in the article itself. Links to other articles. CBC has an entire Indigenous section linked in the header. Go to APTN. Find out who the tribe closest to you is and go to their website. Look for "Resources" sections.

Go to your local library's website and search for "truth and reconciliation". Read the recommendations. Read books and articles and watch YouTube videos discussing the recommendations. Make sure they are created by First Nations, Métis and Inuit. Go to wikipedia and search for any three of those peoples. If you're in a densely enough populated area walk into a bookstore and find something on the display of books on the topics.

Change your information diet so that some of the music you consume, some of the video games you play, some of the podcasts you listen to are created by indigenous communities inside Canada's borders and around the world. Watch TV shows like Rez Dogs, graphic novels like The Outside Circle.

If I may project a bit, it seems like it may be that you are overwhelmed about where to start, not ignorant of sources of knowledge. It doesn't matter where you start. Pick something that catches your interest and follow threads. The only thing that can happen is that you learn something.

I understand how this person's responses are frustrating to you, but educating us is no one else's responsibility, and people are allowed to assert that you're wrong. You can choose how to engage with such people, but I mean if you haven't confirmed that you understand the difference between the two types of agreements (I also don't know, no shame there) then instead of insisting that it is someone else's responsibility to educate you, do some legwork on your own.

Or don't, maybe they're just an asshole. But don't demand people do unpaid labour on your behalf.

Maybe, and hear me out, supporting trans youth has strong evidence in medical research and whatever your perspective is doesn't.

Note that you're using the term "retiree" in this example, but were talking about pensioners previously.

A lot of pensioners do keep working. Many because they enjoy working. Many because they need the money. The government specifically publishes information on the rules: https://www.canada.ca/en/financial-consumer-agency/services/retirement-planning/working-collecting-pension.html

I'm pretty sure the grey background is fake, and this mastermind team of true innovators or whatever don't know how to photoshop images or assess the quality of images photoshopped by others.
