I think the outrage from the black/brownface was used up months ago. I'm surprised people still think it will work to generate a reaction.

Taking down statues of Sir John A is pretty dumb though.  For all the bad and imperfections he may have done, I mean he basically founded the country.  The whole damn country is founded on colonialism, might as well burn the flag.

My province wouldn’t be part of Canada but for John A, but apparently the people of Victoria are too good for him.

Maybe the people of Victoria don't like the attachment to the racism John A brought to the indigenous people of the country.

I see now John Baird is the latest high level CPC member to announce he will not run for leadership of the party. It seems nobody wants the job. I wonder what's up there.

John A, you mean the guy that was resigned from Parliament because of the bribery scandal involving Hugh Allan's Pacific Railway Company (not to be confused with Canadian Pacific Railways)?

And then 5 years later is was elected to 4 more majorities in a row and only left office because he died in office.

There’s a rank hypocrisy to all this looking back at history nonsense. 

Chief Maquinna is probably the most famous historical indigenous leader around these parts and he had slaves, but there is no talk about changing the name of the elementary school named after him because he did that.   I wonder why not...?

John A’s  racism was nothing unusual for his day but we can all feel so superior judging people from 150 years ago by our standards.

Maybe the people of Victoria would rather be part of the US, which it would be but for John A. No racist history or racism there.

Yes Trump is doing a solid job of keeping that part of their history alive.

When that past marginalized and continues to marginalize pat of the population, it's definitely not worth celebrating.  This has been a long road of understanding for me.
