I find the taking down of the first PM statue in B.C. totally abhorrent but maybe they should take down Tommy Douglas statue because he wrote a thesis on eugenics and the sub normal family which is a pretty horrific read these days. I'd say many notable figures have done something wrong, but I guess they only get torn down if they are conservative.

Once we've made the precedent to remove symbols of the past using today's moral compass, there is a lot to choose from. How about the statue of Emily Murphy on the Hill? She is a fine example of a woman who accomplished some truly great things for her time, but held very racist views as well. She published her views in a book called The Black Candle. In terms of her racism she was nothing more than a product of her time.

She believed that the mentally and socially inferior reproduced more than the "human thoroughbreds" and appealed to the Alberta Legislative Assembly for forced sterilization. In a petition, she wrote that mentally defective children were "a menace to society and an enormous cost to the state ... science is proving that mental defectiveness is a transmittable hereditary condition". She wrote to Minister of Agriculture and Health, George Hoadley that two female "feeble-minded" mental patients had already bred several offspring. She called it "a neglect amounting to a crime to permit these two women to go on bearing children".
Due in part to her heavy advocacy of compulsory sterilization, thousands of Albertan men and women were sterilized without their knowledge or consent under the Sexual Sterilization Act of Alberta before its repeal in 1972.
Doesn't get much worse than that?

So, no name released of Fredericton shooter so I guess we can assume it's not a middle aged white guy.

It's a 48-year-old guy, and judging by his name, White.
QuoteMatthew Vincent Raymond, 48, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder.
Info on this has been slower and even more minimal than what was released about the Danforth shooter. If he didn't have a White name, you bunch would be demanding answers, speculating as to his terrorism intentions, claiming this was all a government/media plot. But hey - White guy who is even more deadly than than a Brown guy is just not remarkable.

The murdered civilian couple were in a relationship and had announced it on social media. Clues to a motive.

You're misunderstanding them due to your prejudice. They don't really MEAN they would kill their sisters.

Just as he proclaimed there is no evidence of a security link to the Danforth shooter, Ralph Goodale (Minister of misinformation) said the data does not show an increase of anchor relatives.
QuoteA spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale's office told CBC News the data shows no evidence "that there is a trend of increased 'anchor relatives' being used to get around the Safe Third Country Agreement."
