The Canadian government never advocated genocide against any of the groups you mentioned.
They did against Natives. It was called the "White Paper".
Edit: By "genocide" I mean - "The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group." The White paper called for the elimination of distinctions between natives and non natives. It stated that by the year 2000 (it was written in 1969) all "Indians" would be assimilated into white society, or dead.

So is this generation of Canadians responsible for something done a hundred years (or longer) ago? Natives have to stop playing the victim. Just like blacks do in America (according to their own leaders). These groups have to stop looking for a handout and start doing something for themselves. They are they ones that have to stop asking for a loaf and demanding the education to fish. Canadian culture is one of the victim, and looking to what society can do for me, rather than taking responsibility for oneself and seeing what one can do for society. This has to stop, or the hatred will only get worse and be more and more like it is in the United States.
