Archives Canada removes 'outdated, redundant' web page about nation's prime ministers!

 This re-writing of history to acquiesce to all the "woke" assholes has got to stop folks! 

Why are we applying todays morality and conventions to yesterday's events? 

Guest Post by Tyler Dawson:

Canada’s national library, which bills itself as “custodian of our distant past and recent history” has deleted a history of the prime ministers from its website, with archivists having labelled it “outdated and redundant.”

A search on the Library and Archives Canada website now yields an error page, and a news release entitled “spring cleaning” explains that the feature, called First Among Equals, has now been removed, along with a handful of other historical records.

Blacklock’s Reporter, an Ottawa online news outlet, which, along with the Toronto Star, first reported on the deletion, said there was “much fanfare” in 1994 when the web page was launched.

The removal comes as the country grapples with Canada’s history with Indian Residential Schools, a heated debate that has even led to the burning of churches and destruction of statues.

This latest reckoning, which has again tackled the history of figures such as Egerton Ryerson, Hector-Louis Langevin and Sir John A. Macdonald, came in the wake of reports that hundreds of unmarked graves had been discovered at former residential schools.

The Library and Archives Canada page regarding Macdonald made no mention of his role in the creation of the residential school system, the Toronto Star reported last month.

The library also deleted a website dedicated to the War of 1812 and a poetry archive, a news release explained.

The federal institution did not respond to the National Post’s request for comment by press time.

John English, a former Liberal member of Parliament and author of biographies of Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Lester B. Pearson, called it “evasive.”

“I understand you have to revise these things but would think it would be a more deliberative process with proper discussion,” English said.

In another section of the website, which explains the process for “renewal,” staff say that some of the content on the website, written years ago “does not always reflect our diverse and multicultural country, often presenting only one side of Canada’s history.

“This is why content that is redundant or outdated will be removed or rewritten,” it says.

The changes came under fire from some Canadian historians, Blacklock’s reported.

“I honestly cannot understand why the biographies of prime ministers would be ‘redundant’ or ‘outdated’ in a country that has a poor historical memory,” said Barry Wilson, who’s published a biography of Mackenzie Bowell, the fifth prime minister of Canada.

“It would be educational to update the site to say in the 21st century there have been doubts or criticisms raised about past leaders, but surely the answer is not to destroy online access to historical records.”

History is normally written by the victors..., but now it seems to be written by the  snowflakes

The way I see it anyway!

Bibllical History!

Well kids, todays question is brought to us by a biblical student who asks the question: "Do we have any hard evidence of civilization being older than 6,000 years old?"

The short and quick answer to that question is:

A: Yes.

This is Göbekli Tepe, in Anatolia in modern day Turkey.

It had been inhabited since at least 9000 BCE, around 11,000 years old.

But when it comes to irony, this location beats it.

This is 'Tell es-Sultan.' The oldest layers are about 500 years younger than Göbekli Tepe..., “only” 10,500 years old.

The irony is that 'Tell es-Sultan' is in Jericho.

Yes, the Jericho in the Bible.

So much for any literal interpretation of the bible!

The way I see it anyway!

Why has the world changed so fast in the last 300 years?

Guest post by Max Winkler:

The Age of Enlightenment was the start of it, the realization of logic and objective facts over religious dogma, superstitions, and the rule of autocrats.

That created scientific comprehensions on a mass scale, fueled by the proliferation of printed matter.

Next came the pivotal part, the one made comprehensible by one of its best observers and commentators, Adam Smith, the Scottish economist.

He described and spread as gospel the new forms of production, of economic relationships that were rising. He attacked the basis of the old worn out accepted rule of a landowner aristocracy and the grip they had over economic relationships, that were no longer controllable by them.

He also attacked the substantial basis of the institution accepted almost without question for the past 10,000 years, that of slavery, beginning the growing process of seeking its abolition in the world.

This was the rise of a Market society that spread exponentially and accelerated technologies as part of its economic manifestations.

It broke up the stagnant social relations of aristocracies and commoners, raised the lower classes in their potentials and possibilities.

Combined with the opening of the New World and the massive expansion of overall world wealth, it fueled the Industrial Revolution, now reliant on growing technologies to expand.

But the most significant part of it was the proliferation of people upward from common and all-pervasive poverty. 

In 1800, the middle class was 3–5% of the planetary population. Now it is past 60%. In China and India, the poorest countries, with the highest concentrations of poverty, those levels dropped rapidly and massively. 

In China alone, within a 35 year period, 800 million moved from poverty to the middle class. In India, in a 20 year period, the poverty rate dropped from 45% to 22% and is continuing to drop.

What developed was people, on a massive basis, better fed, healthier, and most important, far better educated.

Access to information and expanding education was now fueling not only social and economic expansions of people, but the overall expansions of technology worldwide. 

Its outcome as well as prime fuel for its own expansion was the rapid growth in overall wealth, both material and financial, in the whole world.

We are now basically addicted to technological growth, because we are addicted to living well, being wealthier, especially in East and South Asia, and now emerging in several African nations, the ones that are catching on that tribalism and corruption was the only thing holding them back.

Unless there is a true major Pandemic, a Carrington Effect, a Nuclear War or a major asteroid hitting the planet the events of the past 300 years will only continue to accelerate exponentially.
