'Canadians don't know their history (of the Great War) and there's a reason they don't,' he says. 'It was intentionally erased by the Liberal government of Mackenzie King ' to protect his vote in Quebec, and to hide the fact that he didn't serve in the Great War."

I'm not sure that it goes back that far. It might. The Trudeau era sure erased and re-wrote a lot of our history.
Institutions that were previously called The Royal Canadian ____ became ____-Canada, everywhere.

I'm not sure if it was an attempt to make the names more bilingual (How could it when there was an English and French version of ____-Canada) but it seems more like an Orwellian attempt to erase part of our history.

Royal Canadian Navy became Canadian Armed Forces Maritime Command ... as I said, Orwellian.
