As we celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial birthday, let me wish you all a happy Dominion Day — the original name of the holiday —and allow me to remind you of the incredibly sneaky process that was used to eradicate the original name.

Dominion Day was officially established by statute in 1879 but more than a century later, it was deemed politically-incorrect and so the name was changed in a deed that took place in Parliament on July 9, 1982, back when Trudeau Classic was calling the shots.

Faster than you could say "Fuddle-Duddle" and with very few MPs present, Dominion Day was purged – all part and parcel of the Liberal Party’s ongoing “re-branding” of Canada.

Basically, Dominion Day was given the axe because it was just too "B&B" (biblical and British), two things which don’t resonate all that well with Liberals then or now.

What if in the near future a small cabal of Liberals on the last day of Parliament ram-rod a “Bill 103” through, putting further limits on freedom of speech, without debate?

Given what happened to Dominion Day 35 years ago, I wouldn’t put it past them.
