They want to do the same with a statue of Cornwallis in Halifax NS, after the Americans kicked him out his job was to find homes for the victims of American terrorism,

the empire loyalists, those loyal subjects who wanted no part of this foolish experiment! It appears that Trump has vindicated them!

Cornwallis wanted land for settlers and that meant a bounty for scalps of natives at one point, people protected by treaty too. They should either tear it down, or better yet make it part of a larger historical education exhibit, including first nations and tell the whole tale warts and all. Make it a part of our shared past, a source of unity and community, or leave it as a symbol of atrocity and oppression, a source of social division for increasing numbers of people.
