the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

I agree, except for the "killing" part. Forced movement, breaking up families, and banning languages are also examples of genocidal actions.

I doubt if one could consider the murder of indigenous women "genocide" but I suppose it could apply because it's "only" women. But now-a-days you could probably apply that to ALL women since there is such an effort to destroy the gender, but I digress.

I agree with that completely. The murder of indigenous women happens for a number of reasons, and I don't think there's any huge push on in Canada to wipe out indigenous culture. It certainly doesn't help the argument that it's genocide to note the the primary killers of indigenous women are indigenous men.
Dixie Cup said:
Genocide usually refers to a whole group of people belonging to the same society (for lack of a better term). Men & children would also have to be included. In this case, they're not which is why I'm questioning the term. Just sayin...

I agree with that as well

This normalization of discrimination in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion has been pushed by the federal government and fully embraced by Canadian universities. Some federally funded research positions have been subject to overt discrimination since 2018, when the Liberals imposed identity quotas on the Canada Research Chairs program.

Many university positions are now only open to people of specific ethnic groups or skin colours. It harkens back to a time when Jews were barred from many academic positions, only now it’s done in the name of “diversity” and “inclusion.”

Somewhere Tecumseh is laughing bitterly and Seattle is crying.

(Seattle always was a bit of a pussy.)

Well it is, technically, semi-stolen.

As for clueless - they could be, their kids and likely don't normally GAF about international politics. They're just hopping onto whatever 'issue' looks "coolest".

As it is, anyone supporting Israel is pretty clueless.

As it is, anyone supporting Hamas is pretty clueless.

Love the lyric. Trust Peter Garrett to put it straight out.

The time has come
To say "fair's fair"
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

(You do realize Peter Garret is a screaming-meemie, Green, anti-nuke liberal, right?)

"liberal" not "Liberal." Confusingly enough, in Oz the Liberal Party is the conservative party. The Labour Party is the liberal party.
