    @Evkob @nutpantz

    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?

      how many acts are required? 10 ? 1000? 10000? over how much time? 10 years? 50 years? 1000 years?
      do you have documentation that these acts were done with “INTENT TO DESTROY” by an organized group?

      i will wait while you gather information.

      if it is only 10, or 100 in 100 years, and you dont need to prove intent,then lets look at crime numbers for assaults in BC that where indigenous people attacked others?

      let me help you out an indigenous women stabbed 3 people today in Vancouver… was that genocide? or was she acting alone. let me help you out… there is no evidence she was acting as part of a group attacking a different group. so no it was not genocide.

      once again your personal viewpoint with zero evidence is just that a viewpoint. for genocide you cannot say that 500 separate individuals operating without an organization collectively committed genocide. if that is the case then every culture is committing genocide against every others ones.
      it has to be a collective GROUP, not just people of the same race or same religion by chance.

      i am not saying shitty things did not happen. just it was not genocide. not likely organized. church pedophiles are not genocide. nether is abuse.

        @nutpantz 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.
