Statues Of Queen Elizabeth II And Queen Victoria Are Being Torn Down In Canada

 

Daily Mail: Canadian anti-colonial protesters rage 'tear this b**** down' as they topple statues of the Queen and Queen Victoria and throw one of Captain Cook in a harbor amid anger at deaths of nearly 1,000 indigenous children found in mass graves 

* Growing anger in Canada after discovery of around 1,000 indigenous children as young as 3 in mass graves 

* The bronze sculptures of Britain's current monarch and her great-great grandmother in Winnipeg were hauled down, daubed with red paint and even appeared to have been strangled 

* From the 19th century until the 1970s, 150,000 First Nations children forced to convert to Christianity and speak English instead of their native languages. Some were abused and beaten to death in Catholic schools 

* Queen Elizabeth II remains monarch of Canada despite country becoming an independent state in 1867 

* Idle No More protesters claim Queen and Queen Victoria are faces of colonialism they blame for the deaths 

* A statue of Captain Cook was also ripped down and thrown into a harbor in Victoria, British Columbia 

* In the United States, monuments to figures now deemed racist or problematic by activists have been removed from sites across the country 

* As many as 40,000 Native American children may have died from care at government-run boarding schools around the US, a researcher has claimed, prompting a federal investigation 

Statues of Britain's Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II and explorer Captain James Cook have been toppled and desecrated by a violent mob during protests across Canada on its national day over the discovery of mass graves of indigenous schoolchildren. 

In scenes reminiscent of the BLM protests where a 'hit list' of 'racist' statues was drawn up for destruction after the murder of George Floyd, the bronze sculptures of Britain's current monarch and her great-great grandmother in Winnipeg were hauled down, daubed with red paint and even appeared to have been strangled with Mohawk flags.

WNU Editor: About a decade ago a comprehensive report was released on the history of Canada's Indigenous residential school system. The report condemned the system, the government under Conservative Prime Minister Harper formally apologized (link here), and enormous compensations were paid out to the survivors and families. I also recall reading in the report that from the time these schools opened in the late 1800s to the time that they were closed in the 1970s 4,400 children passed away (the above Daily Mail says 6.000). That report is unfortunately currently unavailable (link here).

This large number of deaths is shocking. But in an era before penicillin and antibiotics and where diseases and epidemics were rampant (polio, TB, Spanish flu, etc.), most, if not all of these children who passed away died from disease and accidents. And most, if not all of them, were buried in unmarked graves. 

So why the uproar now? 

And why is the Royal family being targeted when they had nothing to do with Canada's residential school system? While Prime Minister Trudeau's Liberal political party .... the political party that has dominated Canadian politics for much of its history and is also the political party that managed Canada's residential school system the longest ... is given a pass? 

Welcome to Canadian politics and how the media decides what news to cover and promote. Who to protect. And who to vilify. 

In the meantime scores of churches have been firebombed (I have lost count on how many) in a number of locations throughout Canada in the past two weeks with little if any media coverage .... Canadian Police Investigate Catholic Churches' Burning Down on Indigenous Land (WSJ).
