Bambi has an earlier post on the absurd and extreme gesture of book burning in Canadian schools (as shown below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Le Devoir<\/em>, and despite denouncing book burning, no political party leader blamed the Liberal Party<\/em> for having a “knowledge keeper<\/em>” (une soit-disant “gardienne du savoir<\/em>“) (https:\/\/www.ledevoir.com\/politique\/canada\/630561\/politique-federale-l-autodafe-de-livres-juges-racistes-envers-les-autochtones-s-invite-dans-la-campagne-electorale<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, we learned today more about the lady who encouraged this intellectual inquisition. It seems that the “Co-chair of Liberals’ Indigenous commission resigns after questions emerge about ancestry<\/em>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bambi does not know about you, but she does not care about this lady’s ancestry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She only cares about the impact of extremism in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her mind, burning books or destroying\/erasing the past is not a wise approach to improving the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why don’t we find more constructive, efficient, and less violent ways in life? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, why are Radio-Canada<\/em> and the CBC<\/em> insinuating that the issue here is the (incomplete) ancestry of this lady? And is the problem of book burning solved with her resignation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are inquisitions wise or justified when a person possesses this ancestry or that trait? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our collectively insane times, we went from censoring to now burning books we do not like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also censor, to the point of socially and professionally trying to eliminate, those we do not agree with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We burn churches because of wrongdoing (ironically affecting Indigenous communities as well as new immigrant ones, which have nothing to do with our tragic past).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We justify violence when it is against others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do not denounce violence (enough) when it suits us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we are burning books. Tomorrow what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once again, can someone explain to Bambi how book burning will bring the overdue justice to the Indigenous people of Canada?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radio-Canada: “Schools destroy 5,000 books deemed harmful to Indigenous people, including Tintin and Asterix”. Is this reconciliation or a modern form of obscurantism?<\/a><\/blockquote>
