Interesting indeed that someone is openly examining his actions.
Unfortunately he tackled the issue in an exagerated way.
No, you cannot talk of genocide under the two provisions of Canadian law:


,"genocide" means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part any identifiable group, namely,
(a) killing members of the group; or
(b) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction.

It all hinges on the little word "physical". If it only read: "deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its destruction" then we would have a case of genocide. But the destruction has to be "physical". And the Dalai Lama never expressed such desire, of destroying us physically. "Only" as a group of believers.

It would´ve been much more interesting that the person in question analyzes if the Dalai Lama has commited persecution, segregation, discrimination, "deliberately inflicting on the group conditions calculated to bring about its destruction". I am sure that the Canadian law does not protect these actions neither. So why focus on to what does not fit in the law, when we have ample material that does fit?
