🇨🇦 Repatriation industry finds new revenue stream

The reconciliation racket continues its march through Canadian institutions. Museums and galleries are now tasked with cataloguing, consulting, and returning artifacts in a process that reportedly has a long road ahead — translation: endless bureaucracy, endless funding, endless guilt. No mention of costs, timelines, or accountability metrics. Just the promise of more struggle sessions for curators and another decade of grants for consultants.

This isn't about righting historical wrongs. It's about institutionalizing perpetual grievance as policy, ensuring that no Canadian institution can operate without paying tribute — literal and financial — to the reconciliation machine. Museums that once educated now genuflect. The culture war doesn't burn books anymore, it just locks them in storage and calls it progress.
