John A Macdonald gets memory-holed

Historica Canada, an organization once dedicated to documenting Canadian history, has quietly deleted its 'Heritage Minute' about John A Macdonald's role in Confederation, citing "feedback from educators" and his supposed "controversy" as an historical figure.

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom Conservatives were decimated in yesterday's election while President Joe Biden seems to mistake Independence Day for Christmas.

Plus, Justin Trudeau is skipping this year's Calgary Stampede – perhaps to avoid another pancake blunder like last year – and University of Toronto anti-Israel protesters cut and run before police had a chance to remove them.

These stories and more on Off the Record with Andrew Lawton, Harrison Faulkner and Rachel Parker!

Thank You for sharing the Sir John vignette

[glenparr]

Without John A.’s contribution to Canada, we’d be called America.

[faytruhamchuk]

John A MacDonald was our founder and is the reason we call ourselves Canadians. With his flaws and all a am thankful for our founding father.

Give Harrison more time. He's too polite to talk over you! All great people!! Keep up the good work!

[susanmcgee]

It is absolutely disgusting how people are trying to, and in some ways succeeding to erase our history.

The three best (and certainly most trusted) journalists in Canada.

Off Record with Lawton, Faulkner & Parker makes my Friday complete.

[JCNeylan]

His Policies are like his pancakes, half baked and sloppy

[mrsandreadstavson]

They’re going to take it all.
Canada has been rebranded as a global Costco.

[gracemarion]

It takes a lifetime to build things up and just a few minutes to tear it down.

[wadeross]

Good news that Trudeau wasn’t invited to Calgary, we should have anywhere West of Ontario a ‘no-go’ place for Trudeau.

Interesting that the piece was made in 2015 just before this current government came to power. Before 2015, John A. Macdonald was a hero, now he has become a villain. Courtesy of you know who.

[Bumpsy]

Love True North! Keep it going guys. Keep us informed. Thanks, again! CJ

[kathrynoneill]

Make JT the first Canadian ex-“post-national” statesman with no core identity.

[athenassigil]

Once Trudeau is gone, we gotta memory hole him and his lack there of!

[lorettawalsh]

So respect and rely on True North, thank you so much for your reporting

[gloiven]

The Sarcastic Yet Loving Tone of This Show makes Me Very Happy.

[JamesThompson-vskg]

As a veteran I use to donate to historica! I never will if they remove John A McDonald

[Snowdog]

Trudeau is the root of the argumentative discourse at or near 12:00. Once he is gone things will be much better and we can all get back to getting along as one nation, strong and free.

Let us not forget Harper started the consolidation of power within the federal government. Omnibus bills that no one could possibly read in entirety let alone fully debate. Expanding CSIS to allow “preventive measures”
