Re-Writing history?


Parks Canada plans major rewrite of more than 200 historic site plaques

EDMONTON — They're affixed to old buildings where someone important used to live. Or they're mounted on a rock overlooking somewhere where something once happened.

"The way that many of the national historic designations are framed and positioned does not do justice to the breadth of impacts that they had on Canadian society," said Patricia Kell, the agency's director of heritage.

Parks is in the middle of a three-year program to re-examine and rewrite the plaques that the Historic Sites and Monuments Board use to point out places deemed important to understanding Canada's past.

Some involve historic figures who held beliefs at odds with current standards. They include one of the Fathers of Confederation, John A. Macdonald; Archibald Belaney, otherwise known as Grey Owl; and Nicholas Flood Davin, founder of one of the West's first newspapers.

The document says that out of 2,192 historic sites, about two-thirds of plaque texts are fine. Of the remainder, more than 200 are considered high priorities for change.

New Brunswick premier: Students’ transgender status should not be ‘hidden from’ parents

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs has come under fire by LGBT activists for reviewing the province's Gender Identity policy.

The current policy states, “Transgender or non-binary students under the age of 16 will require parental consent in order for their preferred first name to be officially used for recordkeeping purposes and daily management (EECD, school district, and school software applications, report cards, class lists, etc.).”

Higgs also condemned drag shows for young children.

“Are we asking: Should kids in elementary school and kindergarten be exposed to drag queen reading time? Is that what you’re asking? Because, no, I don’t think they should be at that age.”

“We’re teaching kids to develop and grow, and they need to be making decisions as they get older and they get wiser,” he continued. “Are we trying to teach tolerance and acceptance, or are we trying to teach promotion?”
