Canadian Ideology: Hutu Activists and Police Officers

canadian ideology: Since it aligns with Washington, London and Kigali's interests, as well as liberal nationalist Canadian ideology, the statistical inflation passes with little comment.A Tyee story last month described the slaughter of over 800,000 Tutsis in Rwanda between April and July 1994, according to Rabble. An earlier Globe and Mail profile of Rom o Dallaire cited a higher number. Canadian commentators often claim more Tutsi were killed in the genocide than lived in Rwanda. It noted, over the next few months, Hutu activists and militias, supplemented by police officers and military commanders, killed an estimated 800,000 to 1 million Tutsis. In the Globe and Mail and rabble last year Gerald Caplan wrote that, despite his Dallaire best efforts, perhaps a million people of the Tutsi minority were slaughtered in 100 days. Even self-declared experts on the subject cite these outlandish statistics. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
