"Humans, privileging the works of social historians, challenges many long-accepted conclusions about various historical eras that traditional global histories have kept alive."

Alvin Finkel provides a peek at his new book in today's post.

@Traceys00088057 We are talking about a national leader making grand claims about a poor choice at a single high school. This is not national news or a national issue. Yes, it is inappropriate but it happened at 0.001% of Ontario high schools. This is politics at its worst. #cdnpoli

[Thomas Peace @tpcanoe]

Witness a prime example of an agitator and activist mimicking the very behaviour he claims to condemn. This tweet is deeply shameful. #cdnpoli

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

What an absolute disgrace that so many woke activists & authorities used Remembrance Day to push their divisive and radical causes, denigrating our history and the brave military members who sacrificed for it.

We are a proud country with a proud history, and everyone who lives here should be grateful to call Canada home.

[Thomas Peace @tpcanoe]

@not_devo @JAH5198 That is all I have found too. It is hard to believe that he gets away with this type of inflammatory rhetoric. #cdnpoli

[Thomas Peace @tpcanoe]

This shameful op-ed should never have been published @nationalpost. Not only is it misleading (public perception towards these issues was shifting well before 2015) but it ignores #MurraySinclair’s important work before the TRC. https://t.co/8XO5o92ZM3 #cdnpoli #racism #cdnmedia

[Thomas Peace @tpcanoe]

@JAH5198 What am I missing? I Google searched a few terms and there hasn’t been any coverage that I have seen. I am happy to retract if there has indeed been widespread desecration of the day or cenotaphs.

Laura Madokoro's class on History in the News has been particularly challenging this year. Read on for Laura's reflections.

This is a critical campaign in #ldnont pushing back on significant cutbacks to @cityofldnont support for our non-profit sector. The organization that I am most familiar with operates with 35% of the city funding they had a decade ago. @PillarNN https://t.co/qL8KhTCfJC

"Since the release of the TRC’s Final Report, denialists feel that they have lost control of the narrative and [...] seek to distort, downplay, and discredit established historical truths to try and regain control."

@JoshuaLambier @SaveriaMusic @Tara_Dunphy @KingCruff @john_fellner @RubinoRadio You do such amazing work! I wish I could have attended.

"The contradiction at the centre of the American experiment is the contradiction between the promise of freedom and equality and the reality of racism and nativism."

@woolf_atthedoor The seeming lack of interest in the past is something that I have found difficult to understand over the past decade.

[Thomas Peace @tpcanoe]

@woolf_atthedoor I hope that you are wrong, but I feel very similar. It seems as if few lessons were learned from the 20th century.

[Thomas Peace @tpcanoe]

So far my ⁦@CityofLdnOnt⁩ council has banned encampments from residential neighbourhoods, & now they have banned shelters from business improvement districts. It is hard to understand how this doesn’t lead to ghettoization of poverty in #ldnont https://t.co/pJQbkFTBKE

Yesterday was such a heavy day for a lot of us in the @westernu system.

It is with great sadness we acknowledge the profound loss of three remarkable members of the Indigenous community: Senator Murray Sinclair, Dan Smoke, and Amanda Kennedy (Kuwahs^nahawi). https://t.co/WDlJVamhT4

Brian Lilley ran a column today about how we will likely end up with a “balanced” budget in #onpoli. It is worth observing that #cdnpse is at a breaking point because so-called #RespectForTaxpayers policies have left our institutions w/o resources to support the public.

[Thomas Peace @tpcanoe]

No more red tape… errr… only for alcohol sales and other inane projects, otherwise lots of red tape for people who threaten the status quo &, of course, bike lanes.
