    how has Coulombe duped people?  I know Martin has been a controversial figure but I didn't realize Coulombe was too.

    We can start another thread if need be.


    If you build it, I will come.

    This was stated on another topic.  I've not read any of his books, but I have listened to interviews in which he discussed historical topics.  I know he is an historian and he seems to be quite knowledgeable on many historical issues.  I've not heard him discuss the current Crisis, nor have I heard him relate history to the current Crisis.

    To my knowledge, I have never heard Charles Coulombe spread deception.

    So what is the evidence that he is not to be considered a trustworthy historian?

    Dunno.  I don't know.  What makes a historian trustworthy in this day and age?  

     I like him.  

    I like this particular snippet from his latest "Off the Menu" videos:

    I wasn't impressed with his videos, but the ones I watched pertained more to the Crisis and didn't talk much about history apart from that.
