I can tell you right now, I live in BC Canada, and the media kept all of the statue toppling hidden from us until they couldnt. I only found out about it by perusing the Daily Mail yesterday. I continued to watch the TV news all day but it wasnt until the evening news where the media reported on it. I do not know why the RCMP did nothing while these crowds of non-mask wearing millennials gathered in the hundreds - even though Canada Day celebrations were cancelled and we’re in a pandemic. They allowed it to happen! Our churches are being lit on fire and our monuments are being toppled. But when a Totem pole is lit on fire in retaliation suddenly its a hate crime and everyone is up in arms. Well what did you expect? An eye for an eye. And btw - until those bones are dug up and examined we cannot assume they are all aboriginal. Many German and Ukrainian (Doukhobor) children were also removed from family homes to be sent to residential schools with the intent they learn to read and write english so they can fit in with society. So how do we know all the bones are children? I would imagine that many people living in rural areas would often bury their kinfolk in whatever grave site was close by. One wonders too, whether they all died at the same time or years apart? Perhaps TB, Polio, Scarlet Fever, and Small Pox took many lives. These diseases were rampant during the latter have of the 1800’s and well into the 1950’s when these residential schools were in operation. However - if more statues are toppled then expect totem poles to be toppled as well.

Smoking pot masks muscle pain and is no different than using pseudoephedrine found in cold medicine which is banned. There was an Olympic Snowboarder Ross Rebagliati who won Gold at the 2018 Winter Olympics who had his Gold Medal taken away and banned from competing for smoking pot - this is no different. You cannot start bending rules for one person or else you must do it for All - and Mr. Rebagliati should have his Gold medal win reinstated if that is the case.
