"The vast majority of Canadians misguidedly cheered for the take down of Confederate statues due to their role in history."

Really?

Care to show us the poll that shows that?

Because:

1. I suspect that the reasons are diverse for Canadians who like seeing Confederate statues removed from US government buildings. Among the reasons would be that some of those symbols have been adopted, in cult-like fashion, as places of something like worship for hoards of white supremacists.

2. It is actually not the same thing to be in favour of removing a statue from a US government building, and to be in favour of every name change under the sun. For example, I suspect that some Canadians who like seeing Confederate statues removed from US government buildings are actually NOT in favour of re-naming every place that has been named after a Confederate figurehead, which is far more comparable to the Ontario school matter (examples, Fort Bragg, Fort Benning, Arlington Cemetery, etc.)
