The Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Que., will be re-branded into a museum on purely Canadian history, the federal government will announce Tuesday.

I'd prefer to not see such a rebranding or such a narrowing of focus on my watch as a citizen, thank you very much. Who knows how future generations will be affected?

And not just future generations of Canadians, either...

I didn't see that coming when I turned off the TV before leaving for the library.
