As I said, it’s a damned shame, but we’re also looking at it through a 2021 lens. Shyte, the media puts a spin on something that happened yesterday, much less what happened 20, 50, 100 or more years ago.
I saw on the news that there is a push to rename Ryerson university due to Ryerson’s involvement in the design of the residential school system. One of the people they interviewed was an indigenous woman who was pushing for renaming and removal of his statue. More destruction of history to fit their agenda.
What I found particularly funny is that this woman, being indigenous, is attending university for free. Probably gets all her housing and expenses paid, too.
If she really wanted to protest, she should quit and go to school somewhere that she has to pay her own freight.
