Here in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, they are about to change the name of Sir John A. MacDonald school because it was his idea to round up the First Nations children (we used to say Indians, which makes no sense) and send them to residential schools. That is the equivalent of Americans renaming a western state and an eastern city that’s not in a state because their first President owned slaves.
Reminds me of Soviet pictures of their leadership where, as they were reprinted in later years, some of the figures disappeared without a trace. When Uncle Joe took a dislike to you, it was serious.
Same thing with century old statues being torn down. We scorned the Taliban when they did the same thing to 6000 Buddhist statues in Afghanistan but it is okay for us now.
