Rwanda in Canada?

After reading this article, "Is Harper trying to provoke a confrontation with First Nations?" I got scared. This is because my mind immediately leapt to the Rwandan genocide. Neighbour killing neighbour. Sister slaughtering brother. Hutus against Tutsis in one of the bloodiest events the world has ever seen. And I thought, 'Is it even remotely possible that something like that could happen in Canada? First Nation against White?' My husband is Oji-Cree. I'm White. Could we one day be waging war against each other just because of our different backgrounds? Sounds impossible. Not in Canada. I'm just over reacting. Yet, with the amount of ignorance and racism I read every day, from both sides, the terrifying answer is "yes". I do think something like this could happen in Canada. I just pray to God our Creator that it won't.
Me and my beautiful hubby.
