If you’re looking for reliable information about controversial historical topics this Canada Day, you aren’t going to find it in the Canadian Encyclopedia. Over the last several years, what was once a bastion of national fairness has abandoned its raison d’être to become, in too many cases, a one-sided resource of wokery.

This ought to be surprising. After all, the whole point of an encyclopedia is to serve as an unbiased and fair summary of current knowledge. But if that might at one time have been true, it isn’t now. Just go looking for historical figures that have been in the news and you’ll find the encyclopedia repeating the activist line and either minimizing or eliminating counter-evidence.
