WHAT CAN’T GO ON GOES ON, TILL IT DOESN’T: “Courage to change what must be altered”.

And here is the quote from Churchill Peter uses. This one goes out to all the doomers out there. Tattoo it on your forehead for ease of remembering:

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it all others depend.

WINSTON SMITH, CALL YOUR OFFICE: Trudeau-appointed librarian ordered purge of online historical archive.

Canada’s top librarian personally directed her staff to wipe federal websites of content she deemed offensive.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, chief archivist Leslie Weir told employees at Library and Archives Canada to purge thousands of pages, including a biography of Canada’s first prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald.
“We need to discuss having a disclaimer on the website about having content that may offend people. I feel very strongly about that,” Weir said in an email on June 9, 2021.
“Much of the content on the Library and Archives Canada website reflects the time at which it was written. We understand much of this outdated historical content no longer reflects today’s context and may be offensive to many. This is an enormous undertaking with over 7,000 web pages.”

“Leslie has asked for us to remove all ‘offensive’ content from the website. We are scrambling today to identify what that might be with a rough set of criteria to work with,” wrote Giesbrecht.
Weir’s criteria for offensive history included any page that erased Indigenous people, had “outdated terminology,” and anything that “lacked Indigenous perspectives and/or that ignores or dismisses the impact of colonialism.”
“The result will be that a lot of stuff from our website disappears rather quickly and nothing substantial will be up to replace it immediately,” wrote Giebrecht in a June 8, 2021 email.
