From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Franco-Albertan Flag, created in 1982. (Article forthcoming!)
My primary interests here are:
- Canadian history,
- especially the history and politics of
Francophone communities, minority or majority.
I think this encyclopedia is a great opportunity to break free of the traditional forces and influences that motivate the telling of history and participate in the common task of building a more objective human history.
What do I mean by objective history? I'm referring to a history that is free from the influences of those in power, of one sided historians funded by patrons with their own agenda, of 'the tyranny of the majority' as Alexis de Tocqueville would say. We will never be completely free of those influences, in historical accounts or any other kind of media. But placing history at the ground level, where everyone can participate, will bring us as close to the ideal of an objective view of history as we may hope to get.

My new Franco-Albertan Flag article is a work in progress. Check it out!--Audentis 11:22, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Made a little edit to the Franco-Albertan page to link to the Franco-Albertan Flag page... considering adding on a little more about Franco-Albertan history and culture to the article (it seems a bit bare). Join in if you can!--Audentis 12:57, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
My next new article will be about the Franco-Tenois. A good friend of mine was a founding member of their first formal community organization and help coined the term Franco-Tenois. Which part of Canada do they come from? You'll have to check out the article to find out!--Audentis 02:04, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
