I worry about this news. A lot. It could keep Canadians a lot more isolated from one another - both within and across the generations - in ways we can't predict.

For all intents and purposes, we no longer have a national library or a national archive. But hey, you can just google all that stuff, right? Well, no, actually, but it's only people who care about facts, reality, etc who are affected.

Which still accounts for most of the Canadian population, last either of us checked. You and me included.

Sigh.

It's disturbing how short-sighted these neo-con people are. Worse, I don't see how we are going to get this kind of stupidity reversed.
