To wit:
Federal managers should complete an 86-hour course at taxpayers’ expense for certification on “Canada’s colonial history,” says a Treasury Board memo. Workshops and seminars were a “journey that provides historical reflection,” it said.
Reflection?
Good idea.
I am thankful that the Fathers of Confederation, chiefly Sir John A. Macdonald, made use of the wheel and a written language (neither of which were known in "indigenous" circles) brought the existing provinces together as one dominion, one nation called Canada that expanded, built a railroad, mapped the second-biggest land-mass in the world, created a bulwark against fascism during the Second World War and had the third largest navy at the end of that conflict.
When I further reflect on things, I am not thankful that plutocratic, treasonous, dismissive and incompetent kleptocrats with "a basic admiration" for a Third-World communist dictatorship have driven out the country's intelligentsia and skilled classes, replaced them with cheap, unskilled labour who have no love or concern for the country, that taxes and living costs, particularly for food, have been drive up so high that basic necessities are now luxuries, have allowed outside companies to pick the economic carcass clean and have caused the citizens of this once-great dominion to question its existence.
I don't like those bits at all.
But thank God for running water.
