Reply to comment by Aquos18 in Canada House of Commons unanimously agrees to describe residential schools as genocide by shpydar
In general, the sub tends to skew to the right and whenever there's an article about minorities, the comments are all too often a bit ... unforgiving. They were already "joking" about the government apologizing "too much" for, you know, genocide.

It remains strange to me. Mind you, my adoptive German-speaking granddad was constantly explaining why Nazis were evil. So many WW2 documentaries. He knew he wasn’t to blame for what happened before he was even born, but he knew it was important to teach kids that genocide of any kind was morally wrong. He didn’t want us to repeat the mistakes of the past.

He was a responsible human being who understood his role in helping us to not repeat history. I wish more of my fellow Canadians were like that.
