Canadian Museum of History: Canadian Museum of Civilization

Canadian Museum of Civilization: Whats regrettable is Kenneys decision to get involved in the issue at all. , according to Times Colonist. While much of the opposition may have come from those who have an interest in the status quo, or those who have an instinctive objection to any idea that comes from a Conservative government, the anxiety is not entirely unfounded. Federal cabinet minister Jason Kenney has written to the Canadian Museum of Civilization to say that a controversial decision to move out a prominent artifact is regrettable. When the Conservative government announced several months ago that the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau would be renamed and repackaged as the new Canadian Museum of History, there was much whinging and gnashing of teeth among those who fear government interference in the museums exhibits.
