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.
My province wouldn’t be part of Canada but for John A, but apparently the people of Victoria are too good for him.
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)?
Maybe the people of Victoria don't like the attachment to the racism John A brought to the indigenous people of the country.
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...? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maquinna
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.
