genocide of 100 million natives

I get the point you're making but making shit up isn't helping your point; there are only ~40M people living in Canada atm, and only a part of that number are natives. Yes, there is still lots of racism and discrimination going on but if you want to call the current situation in Canada a genocide... You may need to go out and touch some grass

Oh brother, I didn't realize you guys were so ignorant of the history of your own country lol.

Most scholars held these lower estimates as factual until the 1960s, when anthropologist Henry Dobyns published research applying historical and archaeological data to assert a far higher pre-Columbian population of possibly over 100 million
