Slightly off topic but still relevant to Quebec - CBC was reporting this week that the PQ is changing the main historical education in the province to give a more Quebecois take on history.
This frankly scares the crap out of me.....there's a lot of nasty history in Quebec in the 20th Century alone. Utilising history like this (for political gain, borderline social engineering) instead of taking an analytical/critical approach feels like a big step back.
