Just found out I'm now a "Residential School Denialist". Thank you, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for that valuable designation. Apparently I'm also a “Climate Denier”, and a “Science Denier”, and probably some other kind of denier I haven't even heard of yet.
Thanks Ken! This brilliant little exposé should be required reading for every citizen of Canada the Good, Compliant and Obedient: where we've arrived societally, when selective "sensitivity" to others feelings matters more than facts, when EQ is allowed to eye-poke IQ, and anything but the "approved" calls to virtuous action won't do. The trouble with this slippery slope is not lost to those who know the fable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Unfortunately, being so used to bogus calls requiring kneejerk reactions, when something real does happen to come around, we're likely to dismiss it as yet another slanted, manipulative political gambit geared towards the usual goal: more government everywhere. I.e. more insatiable control for its own sake, or for the sake of "actionable" ideology. Keep up the good work. Boomer Lem.
Thank you for clarifying deniers. I too am reminded of denim.....
