What happened to missing and murdered Indigenous women was horrific, but it wasn't genocide
A Liberal government Commission kerfuffle just surfaced in Canada. It illustrates the ignorance and prejudices of liberal-progressives in Canada, not much different from the AOC crazies of the U.S. Democrats. An unusually honest and forthright Canadian anthropologist (many of them being in the thrall and pay of corrupt Canadian Indian political interests) described the problem in the article at this Web address:

My meagre comment is as follows:
Holy Cow, I did not think there existed a Canadian anthropologist who wasn't an apologist and money-grubbing dishonest spokes-person for the current Indian (yes, Indigenous) political establishment. But I was wrong.
Mr. Rubenstein properly skewers the misled, delusional and politically motivated Commission members who are now accusing Canadians of one of the worst crimes imaginable.
This is why it was so stupid for the Commission to use such a word as genocide.
Even if the definition is - “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” - the primary thing that must be established, from a legal point of view, rather than just to make the unssubstantiated bald assertions of opinion, is intent.
The acts referred to by the commission, applying to Indian women and Indian female prostitutes, were committed by family members, by members of the same broad indigenous or racial groups as the victims, and by others, including non-Indians, for a whole variety of reasons or intentions.
When these are mixed together the issue becomes murky and diverse, and the acts are ultimately incapable of supporting accusations of the kind the commission has thrown around so cavalierly.
In such circumstances, accusations of genocide are inappropriate, entirely fraudulent and misleading and therefore irresponsible and invalid.
