THE GENOCIDE MACHINE IN CANADAThe Pacification of the North Robert Davis and Mark Zannis In the preface, Boyce Richardson writes: Zannis and Davis are two amazing fellows. They never cease to gnaw away at the mighty tree of the financial and political establishment, like a couple of beavers; they are not only anxious to bring something crashing down, but also want to build. Further on Richardson writes, There is no doubt in my mind that most Canadians will be surprised by what Zannis and Davis have found out about what is happening in the Canadian North . The case they make is extremely powerful. This thoroughly documented book on the Canadian North and its people will shock the reader. It deals with various military projects, government departments, the courts, the RCMP, and their relations with the North. The question of the scientific planning of various institutes like Arctic Institute of North America is also examined in the light of the United Nations Convention on Genocide. Jean-Paul Sartre notes: Colonization is not a matter of mere conquest as was the German annexation of Alsace-Lorraine; it is by its very nature an act of cultural genocide. Colonization cannot take place without systematically liquidating all the characteristics of the native society and simultaneously refusing to integrate the natives into the mother country and denying them access to its advantages. Davis and Zannis use this perspective to examine the Canadian North and the global mechanisms of the Genocide Machine.
