A Rhetorical Analysis of ‘Canada’s “Genocide”: Thousands Taken from Their Homes Need Help’ Published in Maclean’s magazine in 1999, Michael Downey’s short but grave narrative essay Canada’s “Genocide”: Thousands Taken from Their Homes Need Help depicts an agonizing account of the Sixties Scoop adoptions. By opening his essay with the tragic but later successful example of Carla Williams’ life, Downey introduces the forceful system that prevailed in the late 1960s.
