When the existence of Canada is under threat, why has Parks Canada closed a centre at a historical site that speaks directly to our current predicament?

Ken McGoogan is writing a book with the working title The Yanks Are Coming: A Neverending Story of Invasions, Shakedowns and Canadian Resistance .

In late October, Parks Canada announced 11 “new designations of national historic significance” across the country.

These included persons, places and events, among them Métis explorer William Kennedy and Mohawk women’s activist Mary Two-Axe Earley. Seven Oaks House in Winnipeg, the site of two of the oldest buildings in the city, was commemorated, as was rural electrification across Canada and the Miramichi Fire of 1825. I have no argument with recognizing any of these.
