Canada's Genocide

"Unrepentant: Kevin Annett and Canada's Genocide" http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-6637396204037343133&q=unrepentant&total=204&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

This is a documentary ALL Canadians should see! I am often confronted with people who feel like what happened in the past is the past and why are we still paying for it today? However, that position is wrong and uninformed! First off, the blatant disregard and attempts to dismember First Nations people is not something of the past, it is very much part of the Canadian present! What is even worse is we, Canadians, continue to prosper off the continual suffering of First Nations people. And I have heard the typical responses about prominent historians and about how average white men are no more privileged than an Aboriginal man, and I call bullshit! I say get off your apathetic backside white privileged backside, put down the remote control, stop playing the fantasy games and start asking some questions, start reading material from the other side of the argument...what do you have to lose? and how much do you have to gain?
Watch this video, respond if you will, spend some time asking questions.

Ignorance and denial has served Canada well...NO MORE!
