Okay the settlers came as they did in many other places; it happened so let's get on with it.  To even suggest genocide was committed is in itself so out of touch, there are actually no words for it.  Just ask the thousand of survivors of Jews whose families were totally destroyed; the word genocide is more than appropriate, that did not happen to the natives.  Yes, things were not handled the way they should have been; but to keep looking back most certainly is not the way to go.  All the opportunities are available in beautiful Canada, so all one has to do is seize the moment, it can be done!!
