Thread Name: canadian genocide
Subject: RE: canadian genocide
I have disagreed with Q on more issues than you ever will, and one thing I can and will say: he is not a racist.

And thinking that of gnu who is as good a man as you'll ever meet is just plain wrong.

The schools were without doubt CULTURAL GENOCIDE, and had that been posted in the thread title I would agree with you. BUT, seeking attention for this issue with an inflammatory title is simply a no-go, ollaimh. When my government does wrong I call them on it, fwiw.

I also know there were deaths because of the schools, but saying there were 75,000 in this country is irresponsible, imo. I admire the fortitude you show by speaking about this, because most people just don't give a damn, but there's no need to make it beyond belief. The facts are bad enough to shame a nation. WE have no need to lie about it. Ottawa has done too much of that already.

I know your heart hurts from this. Whatever I can do to help I will. I would defend you if I thought you were in the right, and if we find out that there were 75,000 deaths because of those schools, I will walk with you to demand justice. And one other thing: so would Q and gnu.
