the schools were part of a genocide under a plan by former prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald.

What? I understand that our looney left is teaching this nonsense to divide races against each other and create a race war, but now Conservative governments say it too? Genocide? If we eliminate homelessness is that genocide? The homeless are a culture. How about eliminating abject poverty or single motherhood? Is that also 'genocide'? We educated aboriginals to empower them. Without literacy, English or French, or marketable job skills they were doomed to live on welfare. Yes, mistakes were made but not as bad mistakes being made today.
