The ongoing cuts and changes to service delivery at Library and Archives Canada (LAC) continue to be a source of consternation for Canada's archival community and to the users of Canada's documentary heritage. Myron Groover has summarized the controversial cutbacks nicely in an article at http://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2012/06/07/LibraryCuts/.
Thanks to John Reid for finding and publicizing the article first at http://anglo-celtic-connections.blogspot.com/2012/06/wrecking-of-canadas-library-and.html.
