Oh, Canada!

The book-burners aren't just in America. In PM Zoolander's Woke Canada, they're put to the flame, too:

Any country that burns books will soon burn people.

But, that would be impolite!

Calling him Zoolander is the RWCJ buzz term of the day. Derek built The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.
You're against eeducation.

I'm certainly against book burning as an educational tool, as these idiots claim.

Based on the story, it's actually more a matter of library-collection-weeding, which happens all the time. In this case, they decided to weed books which give prejudiced portrayals of indigenous people. Not too terribly outrageous.

I think that's your grand-pappy in that pic I posted. Just a little weeding of the shelves. Perfectly normal.

Odd this should happen in Quebec, however. It was my understanding that there were no surviving indigenous cultures there, because the French settlers married and assimilated them hundreds of years ago.

It was not an "educational tool"....it was a symbolic gesture to the first nation,Métis and Inuit peoples of Canada.

From your own link.....


The project, entitled Redonnons à la terre — “give back to the earth,” in English — was intended “to make a gesture of openness and reconciliation by replacing books in our libraries that had outdated content and carried negative stereotypes about First Nations, Métis and Inuit people.”

“We regret that we did not intervene to ensure a more appropriate plan for the commemorative ceremony and that it was offensive to some members of the community. We sincerely regret the negative impact of this initiative intended as a gesture of reconciliation,” Cossette wrote.

So just another boring Canadian story, about how the country and systems are trying to address the systemic racism of our past. But I agree they could have used a better method of destruction,than burning the books....

We all know you RWCJ's don't give a shit...and we are perfectly fine with that...*chuckles*

Was anyone forced to read a book?



Too close to Fahrenheit 451...
