Reply to comment by Badpancakes in (Canada) House of Commons unanimously agrees to describe residential schools as genocide by EdithDich

I will correct you on the years taught thing, since I was taught about them in the early-mid 2000s, but yes it has not been very long. and really going from 10 years to about 15 isn't a very good look either.

I’ve noticed that it varies from school district to school district. I graduated in 2008 and it wasn’t even mentioned, but I see some people were taught. I think it was made mandatory across Canada in the last decade or so though
