Pure evil.

The Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria, British Columbia is demolishing "Monuments to Colonialism" including life-sized dioramas of a train station, HMCS Discovery, a village, coal mine, and a salmon fishery... A curator is a collector of artifacts and a gatekeeper in museums. You so-called "curators" in Victoria have already hired wrecking crews and probably sold off the most valuable items on eBay and Kijiji.

I care about my country's history, future, landscape and culture.Ever since the Canadian National Railway was privatized in 1995, Canadians have lost hundreds of railway stations. One thousand federal lighthouses were decommissioned, and Cannery Row in Richmond, B.C. is threatened by encroaching development. 
House of Commons Ottawa February 24, 1986. Stanley Park--- Potential transfer of title from the federal government to the City of Vancouver. (Stanley Park is still a federal landmark. During the year 1988 Prime Minister Mulroney bestowed upon the park the title, National Historic Site of Canada.)
 
I am on the steps of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece in 1979. Greek residents told me that, years before, a shipping tycoon removed items from various locations in order to impress his American wife.
