"More than 1100 responses were recieved"

The Greater Toronto Area is made up of ~7 million people

to have it changed?

yes

that's the same with the Cornwallis Statue being removed here in Nova Scotia

The bloody founder of Halifax

to please a handful of angry Mi'kmaq

why? I'm not familiar with Halifax's history

and there are 7 universities in this godforsaken town, so many far left activists here

holy shit, 7?

jeez man

I'll find you source @H E C K for Cornwallis

I'm a expat, but I'm against erasing history period

I'm sure it's because he did some questionable things in the past which may or may not have been considered okay at the time. By these standards, most statues of people long-dead should be removed because standards changed so much and people do shitty things

But it doesn't erase the good they've done

or at least it shouldn't

For example, Sir John A. MacDonald did enough good for the country that he was knighted for it. Despite this good, he still had a lot to do with the formation of residential schools. For this reason, a statue of him was taken down in BC a few months ago.

He did zero questionable things that we have record of... however he did put a bounty out for Mi'kmaq scalps bc they were slaughtering settlers... this side of history is not told... ZERO scalps were brought in under Cornwallis... It was until 100 years later when the French started meddling in and used the Mi'kmaq as basically soldiers, the Dartmouth Massacre happened and that is when the 1 and ONLY scalp was ever brought in by the english (in Halifax/Dartmouth)...

Cornwallis done

remove MLK's things, cuz he dared say people should not be judged on the color of their skin

@Coochie coo Wow that's it? That's what the mob is outraged over?

Remove MLK because he didn't believe in gay marriage... removed MLK because he liked a variety of women...

remove mt.rushmore cuz they're all huaite people

Pretty much, the other side will have you believe that Cornwallis was responsible for hundreds of thousands of Mi'kmaq deaths, and that hundreds of scalps were brought in -- the English didn't scalp, it was retaliation bc their own ppl were getting scalped...

you shouldn't remove statues, add a bigger statue of something bad they affected, mooning their original statue

yeah its terrible about Sir John A. MacDonald... he's like our george washington

I mean, at least he's done some things to be outraged over like starting residential schools.

@Dr.Wol Mt. Rushmore would be removed because its appropriated land before because its white people

y'ever watch these scamming the scammers tech-support type videos?
