Every book published prior to 2008 has been removed from a public high school library in Canada to ensure that kids are not exposed to non-inclusivity. Yes, you read that correctly. Imagine the surprise of students at Erindale Secondary School in Mississauga, Ontario, when they entered the school's library last spring to discover...empty shelves. Staff told them, "If the shelves look emptier right now it's because we have to remove all books [published] prior to 2008."
Why? Because "The Peel District School Board works to ensure that the books available in our school libraries are culturally responsive, relevant, inclusive,
Commies taking over.

When a system has to resort to book burning, to institutionally imposed ignorance,

I reject all books after 1900. The ones before were written much better.

I assume there is an exception for the Communist Manifesto - published in the 1840s.

Books published before 2008 are gone? So no Martin Luther King, no Frederick Douglass, no Booker T. Washington. Out with books written by Leonardo di Vinci, Galileo, St. Augustine, Homer, Shakespeare and pretty much every single classic. Heck, even The Handmaid's Tale was published in 1985.

All the unapproved books will go down the Memory Hole at the Ministry of Truth. Normal people view the book “1984” as a warning. Tyrants view it a a manual.

Down the "Memory hole: a small chute leading to a large incinerator. Anything that needed to be wiped from the public record (embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts) would be sent into the memory hole. As a clerk in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith often has to throw things into the memory hole to revise history and keep current with the ever-evolving Party dogma." 1984

Well the good thing about Canada is that it would take only a couple of days to invade and take over. Best time to do it would be winter when half their still non-communist population are down here as snowbirds.

When Muslims conquered Alexandria in 642 AD, the Caliph ordered it's ancient library to be burned down .Because the books either agreed with the Quran. In which case they were redundant. Or they disagreed. In which case they were heretic. Fourteen centuries later the same spirit seems to thrive in Canada.

Dumbed down and brainwashed. Want to bet the new books in that library will have many more rainbows?
I remember how I was introduced to the Hardy Boys when I was a kid. My brother brought half a dozen of them home when the elementary school took them out of the library for being too violent. I went on to purchase the entire collection of hard bound books when I was a kid. So much for being too violent.

I made several trips to Canada and came away with the impression Canadians were rude, nasty, unpleasant, and uppity people that I did not like being around. This doesn't surprise me.

typical communist, fascist move --- erase the past and re-write it just the kind of job Winston Smith had, did we ever think we'd ever see this happening??? but here it is and the Red Diaper Baby is starting the movement that his father didn't pull off when they were the government in Canada ie: "from 1968 to 1979 and from 1980 to 1984. He also briefly served as the leader of the Opposition from 1979 to 1980." commies have long patient wait times and as long as the mission is accomplished time if of no consequence.
the world is a very dangerous place right now and we had better get or act together or else we're done for.
MAGA 2024 majority House and Senate is the only way to stop them.

Which is kind of ironic, because I consider 2008 to be about the time the last book I really wanted to read was published.
Kind of about the same time that the last movie or TV show that I actually enjoyed was produced.

George Orwell's "1984" turns out to be fact, not fiction. He just should have named it "2023"!!!!!
