Good for him. Maybe when all offending statues are torn down we can skip History lessons. Appoint a tribunal to tell us what we should think.🥸🐐

I agree with Kenney we need to teach the past in order to move forward

Poor Jason. Can not decide which way to run. Such desperation. So pathetic.

We know that deplorable behaviour of historical Canadian leaders was acceptable at the time. As we face the truth and understand the impact of intergenerational trauma, we don’t need honour these figures by naming public buildings after them. Renaming doesn’t mean canceling.

In before MattWolfAB chimes in on this.

Start taking your job serious! It is really a “mass grave” or is it many separate graves created over many years? This occurred in a different time and no matter how wrong it is now, deaths from TB and other diseases many years ago were much more common than they are now. Terrible situation, but not genocide
