\u0027Whatever your cause, you don\u0027t get to appropriate his legacy and you don\u0027t touch his statue. Ever,\u0027 says Brad West, the mayor of Port Coquitlam.

Along with many others, West voiced his dismay after photos were posted on social media showing the statue holding an upside down Canadian flag and a sign that reads “mandate freedom.”that rolled into Ottawa Saturday.

“Whatever your cause, you don’t get to appropriate his legacy and you don’t touch his statue. Ever. This should be removed immediately,” said West, in a tweet. I’m the Mayor of Terry Fox’s hometown. He’s our city’s hero, national inspiration and an unifier. Whatever your cause, you don’t get to appropriate his legacy and you don’t touch his statue. Ever. This should be removed immediately.

The only hate we saw today was from masked idiots spitting at us or fingering us. The convoy was all cheers and smiles. The Florence nightingale soy boys swore and fingered everyone. We all know where the hate lies. With the media and the enslaved morons.

Putting a canadain flag on him is not defacing if he was alive today he would support freedom

As should all self-respecting Canadians! Sadly, media outlets like are too afraid to take a stance.

oh now they care about statues.

Get over it. It’s a statue. 🤨🙄

Let's turn this into something positive! Love instead of hate.🙏

Putting a Canadian flag on a Canadian icon who ran across Canada in spite of his medical status is defacing... Ok.

They should not live on this little planet earth!

Good, but what should be called out is their lack of consideration for the over 80% of contributing Canadians vaccinated and doing their part to save the health care system and lives while having to postpone surgeries and procedures as the non vaccinated fill the hospitals.

You need to understand what defacing means before spreading misinformation with the intent of inciting hatred and violence rcmpgrcpolice

Notice that the supporters of these stunts have a VERY small audience? They just shout louder to be heard.

Just wanted to share the good news with you the fund for the trucker's Freedom rally and Ottawa has raised over eight million dollars!!

Not acceptable. Be respectful of our lost heroes and what they fought for just like you want us to respect you.

Wake up people. Don't listen to this drivel on corporate media propaganda Networks. They are lying to you they're keeping you locked up and it's time to start waking up. I will never forget the fear based narrative that you spewed while people looked for answers. SHAMEFUL.

This so called protest has nothing to do with vaccination. It has to do with bigotry racist ideology . A fake white mans greviance

It's just a statue. It does nothing to his legacy.

What fake rage..nothing has been defaced... MSM has completely lost the narrative
