A thrill of hope. A ray of light in the gloom. A willingness to risk failure against the possibility of something good and deeply rewarding happening. Messages of hope during Advent have opened me to risks. Some I find most difficult are the risks of offending someone. How often do I second-guess what a person’s reaction might be to something I say or do? We can self-censor ourselves into oblivion. May we all open our hearts and minds to new possibilities in our challenging New Years.
As to why all this has been banished from official memory, it has everything to do with the way postmodern historians, pseudo-left academic activists and a succession of Liberal politicians have shaped the way we are allowed to talk about ourselves. About the way we are instructed to talk about slavery, about racism, immigration and the dynamic role Indigenous people played in building a new world from the late 1700s to well into the 20th century. - Emancipation Day: Against Revisionism, by Terry Glavin
