  1. Erasing history ensures that nobody will be able to learn from history. Learning is hard work and who wants hard work when ignorance takes no effort at all?

  2. Another thing for us common sense folk to gripe about. HBO is removing “Gone With the Wind” from
    their line up. Yes, I realize these old movies can be a bit cringeworthy for the easily offended snowflakes but seriously?
    Anyway, I understand HBO wants to add on a piece to give the movie ‘context’ explaining it’s racist tilt. That’s
    for the stupid people who can’t accept that things were different back then. The movie is no ‘Birth of a Nation’ for crying out loud. This is the same as taking down a century old statue of Robert E. Lee.
    Next thing is to burn The Band’s album featuring “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”

    1. Next thing is to burn The Band’s album featuring “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”

      Ah, but the version recorded by Joan Baez will be saved and regarded as the only authentic rendition. I’m sure you can figure out why.

      1. I never did like that song.

        Give me “I’m a Good Old Rebel” any day. Written by a real one, and it shows.

        2. @Santa:
          How can you not like it? Is it because four of the five Band were Canadians?

    2. Ironically, the black lady in the movie is the first black woman to win an Oscar.

  3. They can burn the whole city to the ground for all I care. The majority of the population are foreigners and they vote for the Liberals en masse. Have at ‘er.

  6. I’m genuinely curious. I’ve read a fair bit of Canadian history from several sources, and while I’m aware of the practice of taking slaves among the Huron and some other tribes, I’m ignorant of which white people in Canada owned slaves. I do know that the French bought slaves from the natives, and did bring some from the French Caribbean – but they primarily ended up throughout the US and around Louisiana.

    Some may have ended up in Upper Canada from the English Caribbean, but I haven’t encountered accounts of that. Who would buy them, and for what?

    Was it the impoverished Irish under the thumb of the Fishing Admiral in Newfoundland, the Quebec habitants scraping out a living in their narrow little Feudal-style farms, or the fur traders living in the wilds of the north? The economy of Canada simply didn’t support the practice – though it certainly doesn’t preclude black slaves being here in some number. The new narrative of a Canadian slave economy just doesn’t seem to be borne out by what I know of history – unless you include the history of French expansion into what is now the United States.

    It’s curious to me that older texts I’ve read don’t seem to have any mention of this, while online articles talking about this now all seem to cite texts published after 2000. Was there new research that turned up previously neglected documents? I would be very curious to see what Conrad Black has to say on the matter, given his voluminous research into Canadian history. I find he’s one of the few modern historians who isn’t distracted by wokeness.

    1. As I recall reading, John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada (later Ontario) was a staunch abolitionist and was able to enact An Act Against Slavery in 1793. Upper Canada was the first British colony to abolish slavery, so that by 1810 Upper Canada was a slave free jurisdiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_Against_Slavery

    2. Slavery was banned in Britain in 1803, so not very many Canadians owned slaves. We were governed by British and French laws. It is a very small part of our history. Most old stock Canadians were From Normandy, France, the poorer parts of England, Including many disbanded soldiers, the USA Circa 1793, Scotland and later Ireland.

      Our history does not require a knee and Trudeau’s insincere apologies to anyone. The so-called First Nations? tribes did nothing before we got here, so we do not owe them anything any more either. The current ones grew up with lists of federal treasure and good schooling, so if they can’t manage their tribes well, it is not my fault.

    1. Well the title of Master at Massey College was deemed to be racist a couple of years ago which led to it being changed to Principal.

    2. Upvotes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  8. Funny thing,the underground railway ended in Canada.
    So those of our complainers,who are from long term families.Better pay up or leave.
    Now of course all those “Black Lives that matter” are squatting on Native land..
    Displacing those who saved them?

  9. I actually have no problem with damning the memory of the slave traders who saddled north America with a Negro problem, for no better reason than that their clients thought it morally wrong to pay a Christian the true value of the work he did.

    But confronting history is not the goal here. The objective is to make sure it is not learned in the first place.

    The planters have the luxury of learning from their mistakes. They and their ill-gotten wealth will always be welcome somewhere.

    What they don’t want is for the petits-blancs to learn from their ancestors’ mistakes— at least before it’s too late for the petits-blancs to avoid the consequences of repeating them.

    Dundas doesn’t need a street named after him. The problem is that nobody is taught about how and why he betrayed the British Empire.

      1. This must be shocking news to Nikole Hannah-Jones and The NYT. Goodbye “1619 Project” you’re just another propaganda fraud.

  10. This shit has to be stopped NOW before our entire history is wiped out!
    Who is going to put a stop to it when we’ve sat back and watched the Socialist creep come into full bloom?

  11. I don’t really listen to people in their twenties when it comes to history, logic, books, music, movies, money or facts. Most of them can barely walk and chew gum.

    Ryerson University in Toronto, for example, which says it champions diversity, was named in 1948 after Egerton Ryerson, a controversial public education pioneer who is believed to have helped shape residential school policy.
    In 2017, its student-body union made a failed push to have his statue removed. It now stands at the centre of the school’s campus, alongside a small plaque that addresses Egerton’s role in “cultural genocide. ”Ryerson alumni Maaz Khan, 25, told Global News that seeing the change brought about by recent protests inspired him to start a petition on Saturday to have it removed.

    1. Should we start telling Pakistanis what monuments they can or can’t have in their own country? “Maaz Khan” FFS…. as in Genghis? We are truly in 100% clown world.

  12. In the name of equality all “persons of virtue” must go bagged,wear long clothing and gloves,no skin may be seen,cause of “colour of privilege”.
    Any person instigating racial commentary while not fully bagged,may be beaten senseless,well even more senseless,by the non virtuous.
    Those bagged may not instigate racial commentary as they have abdicated their adult role in life.
    So if they chose to nag and scold the non virtuous,they too may be educated via the School of Hard Knocks.
    As for “Black Lives Matter” sure they do,just like all lives matter.
    Any claiming that skin colour makes them(their life) more special?
    Non virtuous methodology #1 needs applied.

  13. Brian Lilley at the Toronto Sun has an interesting story on this. If we are going to erase people from history, what do we do about Joseph Brant, an indian icon. After the war of independence in the States, he and his tribe moved to Canada and had a town, streets, and county named after him. He was also a slave owner, who brought his black slaves to Canada.

    2. Wikipedia:
      In May, Brant returned to Fort Niagara where, with his new salary and plunder from his raids, he acquired a farm on the Niagara River, six miles (10 km) from the fort. To work the farm and to serve the household, he used slaves captured during his raids. Brant also bought a slave, a seven-year-old African-American girl named Sophia Burthen Pooley. She served him and his family for six years before he sold her to an Englishman named Samuel Hatt for $100.

  14. Anti-Asian racists!

    “The Chinatown sections of Dundas (from Beverly Street in the east to Kensington Avenue in the west) have street signs in Chinese as 登打士街, which is the same as Dundas Street in Hong Kong.”

    1. 别让你杀了我 Bié ràng nǐ shāle wǒ. Stop ! You’re killing me !

  15. Sure. It is overdue anyways.

    Simple. Jane and Finch becomes Bloods and Cripps. And Dundas … oh, I don’t know….how about Asian Exploitation Alley? I mean, ol’ Jack shouldn’t suffer misremembrance, eh?

  16. I see that Google and Bing wasted little time in renaming the White House end of 16th Street NW Washington DC “Black Lives Matter Plaza”. This being a Federal district the name will likely be returned to normal at some point. Will the leftie techs be so quick to update?

  17. Ask any Torontonian who Bloor, Yonge, Dundas, Sherbourne, St. Clair, Lawrence, Eglington are named after.

    I’m still waiting.

  18. The original slavers weren’t the recipients. They just bought “the products” offered by THE MUZZIES (true slavers one and all to this day), for cheap labor, as labor was in short supply in Norte Amerikka, back then. The Paiutes (who practiced their own slavery, yeah let’s resolve that one why don’t we? While we’re at it) tended to fight back. Besides, not enough Irish to go ’round and they didn’t take well to a lotta sun in their lives…..no Darkie pigment and they tended to blister in southern latitudes and faint in the heat. Rum and tobacco futures would suffer.
    Do you get the impression that this has been all done before, like post Russian Revolution and the Mao Years? Book burnings (yes the NAZIS were SOCIALISTS first, who knew?) Gulags and “Re-education” kamps? What’s that phrase….Arbeit macht frei? Let’s interview a few Uighurs, while we’re at it, eh? Been watching the Chinah Folks treatment of their own on Corona Virus? You should, you’d find out what real slavery was all about, 21st Century style. That “bat virus” was invented in a Chinah lab for a reason. Think about it. Do you think they were designing virus’ to be selective on who dies from it? What genetic makeup are you? Get your nose out of the sports page and do some reading. Your kids might thank you for it, rather than being offered up as “replacement” body parts for Party apparatchiks. Yeah, it is that bad when you get right down to it. The Blackie Riots are a diversion, folks. So is our own “Blackie McBlackface….millions into his Trudeau Foundation. Tax Free. You gettin’ yours?
    I figure we’re getting close to ““Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.” I’m retired, nothing to do, but cut the grass these days.

  19. The New Karl Marx Stadt is the Capital of Wokestan. Their mayor should alter his last name to something more appropriate like Doormat.

  20. The left appear to be doing all the heavy lifting in destroying confederation and helping to cement the liberation of Alberta. Faster please!

  21. Toronto, consistently voted and recognized, year after year, as the unhappiest place in Canada. Toronto is a shit-hole. And the Leafs suck.

    1. And the Leafs suck.

      They’ve sucked since the last time they won the Stanley Cup. I’m old enough to have seen that series on TV.

      1. I had the unfortunate pleasure of moving to Montreal that year, from Tronna…..oh, the Leafs won? Too busy steering myself around potential mail box bombs in Montreal, on the way to school to care.

  22. It’s election year.
    Everything is racist.
    We’ll get back to Global Warming after the polls close.

  23. Toronto or really Mississauga has a town and a Go station called Dixie and it corners Dundas W. I’m surprised the easily offended set haven’t moved on it yet, though it was named after a Welsh settler called Wilson Dixie. That wouldn’t be enough to save it once they catch on. And there is Swastika in Northern Ont survived WW 2 but could it last?

    1. The good citizens of SWASTIKA refused to change their name. Only outsiders wanted it gone.
