We Were Always At War With Eastasia

 ... say the Year Zero people:

The Trudeau government has committed itself to purging or rewriting hundreds of historical plaques and monuments commemorating Canadian history in a revisionist attempt to “decolonize” the country.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, this means that a tenth of federal historical landmarks erected since 1919 are going to be revised or completely removed.

The purges will include “major political figures” like Canada’s first prime minister Sir. John A. Macdonald, those “associated with Residential School history” and anybody “associated with the eugenics movement.” 

 

Like Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Tommy Douglas:

The proposal, known as the 1969 White Paper, was launched by one of Trudeau’s ambitious young cabinet up-and-comers, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Jean Chrétien. It was a monumental disaster. You can date today’s activism to the backlash generated by Trudeau and Chrétien. It makes educational reading for anyone wondering why so little progress was made between 1867 and 1969 — or today for that matter — or who thinks carting off a few statues and renaming some schools is a solution to anything.

Mr. Douglas argues in his thesis that one of the key causes of poverty are subnormal families, ones that are mentally inadequate – “anywhere from high-grade moron to mentally defective” – of low moral character and/or a burden on the public purse.

Historic references to Pocahontas will be removed from signage at an Alberta forest, managers at Parks Canada said yesterday. Removing other names considered dated or awkward will take time, said the agency: ‘We encourage Canadians to educate themselves on Canada’s brutal history.’

Oh, my! The Narrative!:

Visible minorities earn as much as a tenth more than White men, Statistics Canada said yesterday. Minorities were also likelier to live in big cities, achieve university degrees and remain single without children: “More than 60 percent of Korean and Chinese men and more than 40 percent of Arab, West Asian, Japanese and South Asian men had a university degree compared with 24 percent of white men.”
