I'll try to be very brief so that we can move to the other speakers.
As for how we can correct our history, I think the history has been corrected. That's what historians have been doing. The problem isn't that we don't know our history, but that we don't teach our history in our schools in the way we should.
I think that the multiculturalism narrative is an example of this. The multiculturalism narrative in education has been so successful that I've had students come into my classrooms at the university level and say, “I would like to write my paper on Chinatowns as an expression of our wonderful multicultural heritage”. My response to them is, “Are you aware that Chinatowns exist because of the separation of Chinese Canadians from the rest?” So that's what I'm talking about. There's a disconnect, it seems to me, from the history that's taught in the grade schools and the history that students get as they go into post-secondary education.
That would be my comment on that.
