International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda in 2021

@ryanjespersen @randyhillier Thank you for standing up and speaking out. This upcoming week is Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Holocaust was genocide. Equating COVID to the Holocaust is unacceptable.

Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) commemorates the 6 million Jews and 11 million others who lost their lives in the genocide perpetrated by the Nazi regime and its collaborators during the Second World War. #YomHashoah2021 #cdnpoli 1/5

Today is the International Day of Reflection on the Rwandan Genocide, which reminds me of an exchange between @romeodallaire and my friend while he was in #yeg. How will you respond to injustice when you see it? https://t.co/BkYMQUaqtG

Today marks the International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. On this day, we look back at this horrific genocide that took the lives of more than one million Tutsi, & share the stories of those who started new lives in Canada. #Kwibuka27

It was on this day 27 years ago that the Rwandan genocide began in Africa. Canadian officers serving with the UN forces did what they could in this chaotic environment but could not prevent the worst of the horrific violence. https://t.co/wX0iVbj7xM #CanadaRemembers https://t.co/ivTgNlHu0n

@DeathsGuineaPig @Terrilltf Heard of genocide? Residential schools? Kidnapped kids? Having a culture & language violently & brutally forced upon one isn't one "appropriating" said culture. Take the time to learn about the thing you want to say; you'll seem less ignorant. Also, try a dictionary one day.
