Is the Geneva Convention's definition of genocide that was adopted by the U.N. Canada's Residential School system meets every point of that definition.

Trying to compare this genocide to others is just a way to water down what happened and to try and deligetimize it.

What I will say is that Canada has aknowledged it's commiting of genoicde and did not need an outside international court to do so and as I mentioned has already paid over $3 billion in restitution for our crime and shown we are working towards repairing our relationship with the Indigenous peoples of Canada.
