    That’s fair as a definition of genocide, though it isn’t the way I’m used to understanding the word.

    Precisely because of the differences though, I’d also find it in poor taste to make comparisons been the Canadian genocide against indigenous peoples and the Holocaust.

      It’s a weird thing to compare. What’s worse for a people: an incredibly traumatic experience that shapes a culture for generations to come or an incredibly traumatic experience that shapes a culture for generations to come?
