Offering public education, or even mandating education in general, is not the same as sending military to exterminate villages.  It's not the same as intentionally starving populations by cutting them off from their known food supplies.  It's not the same as offering monetary rewards for murdering individuals.  It's not the same as paying a pittance for massive territories without disclosing that the immediate step would be to send in armed men to remove anyone who lived there.

i encourage you to research residential schools.

i am not saying that the process that canada took was the worst type, i am just saying that canadians were not innocent.

Green Giant:
Canadian you say.

Well I think you guys are all pretty similar to the rest of the people in the Norther US as well as California.

Basically you are there, you aren't nearly as cool and bad ass as us, Texas, but then again noone is.  Don't worry, I don't think any less of you than I do people from Cali or Oregon or Illinois or New York.

hypernova:
Do Canadians make fun of Americans like Americans do Canadians a la South Park and such?
