In Ontario, schools located in the southern corner, mainly in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and in other densely populated areas of that province, Merry Christmas is seldom heard in those hallways anymore.聽

Additionally, portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles have been tossed in the trash and any remnants of the British Empire such as flags, the coat of arms, plaques or anything of that nature that is commonplace in a school in Estevan today has been removed.聽

Recently there was an effort in Ontario to rename any school that bore the name of John A. Macdonald, because his name is somehow attached to racism. Fortunately the provincial Liberals blocked that idea because they want to keep some moderate conservative votes.聽

The sort of phenomenon listed above is part of the reason that inspired me to leave Ontario and come to work in Estevan. In regards to moving on from the past, things change, time moves on and what was old fades away, and is replaced with what is new; this is a natural societal change.

There isn鈥檛 anything wrong with that because it is a natural inherent part of human society. But, if you can say Merry Christmas to someone in a school in Estevan beside an official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, and where doing so in some places in Ontario isn鈥檛 even possible anymore and is considered racist; I would not call that a natural societal change, but rather an organized attack and systematic removal of the past.

The concept of erasing the past and having Merry Christmas turned into a discriminatory term has a premise and a philosophy that it functions from. That premise and philosophy can鈥檛 work without a scapegoat.聽

The majority of the people who built Canada were of the Christian faith, and they always came together at Christmas and celebrated their religion and gave what they had to the people they loved. Removing Christmas, its history and its associated history from people鈥檚 minds and mouths is collateral damage of a much bigger war.

Those who will claim that saying Merry Christmas is a micro-aggression would celebrate modifying and erasing history to fit a certain narrative, want the historical void they would create to be filled with victimhood.

In that dystopic world, success and pride will become offensive slurs, and the virtue of a human will be measured by how marginalized they and the group they belong to are. Moreover, the concept of achieving true happiness will be dead because the means to it will be deemed immoral.

No one wants to really stand in the way of erasing the past and removing Merry Christmas from people鈥檚 minds and mouths, because doing so has its own premise.

That premise is the reality that everywhere in the world where the British Empire made its greatest commitments is now some of the best places in the world to live. Whatever happened in the past in those places, although awful, was necessary to allow humans to live free in a society where they elect their leaders and have fair trials.聽

Such a society is the moral apparatus that humans are meant to live in because it is the only way they can justify their existence by achieving true happiness, which is only possible in a truly free society.聽

The fuel that gives rise to the movement that is slowly dismantling history, waging war on Christmas and painting colonists and British soldiers as murderous tyrants exists because the truth will not set anyone free who admits it.聽

The British Empire did spread democracy through out the world and that was a good thing. However, no matter how it was done, tragedy and death would befall anyone who got in the way.

The truth is absolutely nothing is going to undo the damage to those who got in the way or the damage done their ancestors. That is a reconciliation that is un-reconcilable. If people really want to try and undo something that cannot be undone, and if they do so at the expense of freedom, the past will come back. When it does all the death, broken dreams and horror that people once celebrated being over will shallow up everything.

When history repeats itself, it doesn鈥檛 differentiate between political alignments. Everyone is swept up into a nightmare. I don鈥檛 say Merry Christmas because I am religious, I say Merry Christmas because the people who want to stop me from saying it have purposeful bad intentions.聽
