John A Macdonald gets memory-holed

from Off the Record · host True North

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!
