History is in the eye of the beholder these days and IMO it is being written and rewritten everywhere.
I ws talking to my 24 year old Romanian roommate (I am 61 year old Canadian) and he was telling me that Germany was much better off today because of Hitler. Well as you can guess I begged to defer.
After we thrashed this out for a while he said it could not happen in North America and again I disagreed. It could have happened here. And in some ways it did.

Then there is the aboriginal issue

As I told my roommate, I am glad I am Canadian, but not particularly proud of it.
And I find that links to anything detrimental to the reputation of Canada are increasingly harder to find and we are hardly a super power.
History is being rewritten and I am not convinced that is a good thing
