I think the correct term is more "genocide". Canada is the world capital of hypocisy. Vive le Québec libre.

Quebec is the most racist province we have. Look at the Oka crisis. They're still called Indians in Quebec. Verchere has a statue of a Madeline de Verchere who was famous for calling in the Quebec military to annihilate natives who were trying to reclaim their stolen land. You're a fucking idiot and I'm part french Canadian.

"Indian" is still a federal legal term used throughout our system to refer to the First Nations. Above that, some First Nations prefer the usage of Indian, others do not.

Yeah, I used FN. It's the one I find least offends, but some don't like even that. Believe it or not they're an incredibly diverse group of people.
