This argument probably sounds really good if you completely disregard the past 300 or so years of Canadian-Indigenous relations.

Using whataboutism to counter valid claims is weak sauce.

Nothing like an ass pull to cover your own bias.

It's telling though.

"Indigenous people fought each other and did bad things, therefore committing a genocide is OK."

What a lovely & compelling argument.

Also, sorry for assuming you'd be able to recognize that "Canadian" included the history of British and French colonists in what became Canada.

Genocide is legally defined as any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group: killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children to another group. This definition is established by the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention.

Do you deny any of these acts occurred upon the indigenous people of these territories now named Canada by European settlers and their descendants?

Residential School Denialism is one of the reasons Indigenous people feel so helpless - because their generational struggles with it make them feel less-than-human; the violence and the destruction of culture was forced upon them, en masse. Hearing people say that it didn't happen insults and belittles their suffering.

While I enjoy an intelligent and comprehensive discussion, looking through your dozens of comments in only 3 days, you seem like a very angry conservative with whom there is no discussing anything without my receiving vitriol and hate.
Let's leave it as your opinion vs my opinion. I'm also blocking you because I don't need this kind of negativity; it's why I left Reddit.

Quite the long rant just to dodge my question.

But not surprised since you've been behaving like a bad faith actor throughout this thread.

Stay on point next time.

You provide no facts except your loaded feelings.

I provided the UN definition of genocide.

Are you denying that native children were forcibly transferred to another group?

are first nations looking after their own children today or do that still allow and encourage another government to run the foster child system for their children?

That's sort of the whole point.

Thus why the Jordan principle is under fire.

I guess your stuck up on who pays, sucks for you but the Canadian government will need to pony up some money or else...

Buds, people checking your history isn't because they don't have anything. It's because you only have one thing.
