Who gets to write history

Moi?

This morning I read in a Toronto Star op-ed by pollster Allan Gregg how:

Wilfrid Laurier won the 1911 election by rejecting the Conservative government’s proposal for a reciprocal trade agreement with the United States.

It's not so much that we need the kids to learn history. It's that we need the adults to keep reading it. 

Update, June 18.  A correction appeared a few hours later. Seems Robert Borden won the election of 1911.
