All cultures are equal, except yours.
When Stephen Taylor read a CBC Nova Scotia story about the imminent closure of Parks Canada’s Canadian Register of Historic Places website, he knew he had to act.
The register is a national searchable database of historic places recognized by federal, provincial, territorial and local governments.
It contains about 13,500 listings and is slated for decommissioning this spring.
“Reading into it… I felt it would be a tragedy to lose that resource,” Taylor said.
“I felt there was a huge urgency to preserve it, ironically preserving our history, even though that was the point of the original website.”
As a partner and chief technical officer at Shift Media Strategies, Toronto-based Taylor knows a thing or two about web technologies.
That weekend, Taylor used artificial intelligence tools to download all of the data on the old Parks Canada site and rebuild it using modern web standards.
Pretty sure he’ll be arrested.
Without control how is the Federal government supposed to rewrite history?
he who controls the past controls the presnt
he who controls the present controls the future
all in the interests of the proletariat who cant manage things for themselves eh?
Not arrested, just sued. What he is doing isn’t illegal so they will eventually lose. But it will cost him a lot a money and that will be the goal.
