Yes, our focus should not be on rewriting history but on learning from it as a basis to built a better society in the present and future.

Interestingly, in the US and here the drive to rewrite and airbrush history seems to mostly be inspired and sustained by the far left mobs rather than the far right ones.

Incredibly, the left has even demanded that statues of our most essential founding father Sir John A. MacDonald be removed in a couple of places.

I'm not sure if some of the same loons and goons were the ones pushing last year for two scholarships at the University of Victoria named after and in honour of history's greatest mass murderer (topping Stalin and Hitler by tens of millions) Mao Tse Tung.

But radical, rabid mobs both left and right do strange and deplorable things especially when led by prepared professional protesters.
