The condem it, yet allow it to happen. Figures..
Well condeming only works 97% of the time
Shady…Politicians themselves involved?
LOL they removed all the comments condemning this? hilarious.
@Carmen Sandiego yeah … hahaha
This is F***king serious folks. We are gonna be like Venezuela in no time. These Leftie idiots gotta be careful what they wish for, they just might get it
they did… they removed the video and reposted it as new!
In re-posting the video it also removed all comments supporting this
That Is The Lefties For You.
our education system has failed
It was purposely subverted
it is failing because it is overrun with extreme leftist looney toons that turn none issues into issues and glorify being a victim in life.
I learned about Blackfoot tribe and how they’ve harvested Buffalo for survival but then settler’s came and they kill all buffalo.
In fact is seems to me like they’ve learned a lot about our history and our first prime minister, which is how they know how horrible he was.
@A P Where were you in social studies?
Why is this being allowed to happen?
because Canada has become the worlds biggest virtue signalling fail
payz hayz no it wouldn’t you also wouldn’t be able to speak your opinions or violate curfew and more than likely wouldn’t have a job either… oh wait, did I mix up commies with fascists? Meh same thing
They’re just doing what they’ve been taught to do at every level of schooling. Every level of school in this country cries over how incredibly oppressed they are.
Right?!? Kill them already.
Jet Tet Back in the basement and put your tinfoil hat back on.
Fixing History is like fixing Stupid. Can’t be done!
@Cameron Roberts
Would you agree, if they start destroying churches and mosques?
@bona ventura no. Of course not. Why is that relevant?
@Cameron Roberts that is very relevant , because once they begins to destroy monuments you don’t know when or how it will be finish.
@Carlos P Erm, no. The protesters don’t hate monuments. They hate racist historical figures.
@Cameron Roberts imagine being privileged enough to be upset about someone from the Stone age and being able to destroy a statue and not having to suffer any punishment or reprecations for it, Yeah I love Canada.
Shame on you.
Anton Pasternak Why ?
WHy didn’t the Police STOP this illegal activity. This is a taxpayer paid for piece of public property.
lmao
Mayor is too busy with bike paths
So when do the Joseph Brant statues come down? I guess that owning slaves can be overlooked since he was a Mohawk chief.
They should come down.
@MrMeta4icalTake them all down.
Louis Riel?
These are not Canadians. Deny the founder of the country, deny yourself as a Canadian.
You Got That Right..
THIS IS INSANE!!!!!
Yes. My dad emotionally unavailable. Therefore. I. Emotionally. Unavailable.
Greetings my fellow canadian, I completely agree, you are right
@BoBandy F Kim Jong would shoot them
Guess the police are hired by the city to to be spectators. I should get paid too then.
@Ghided Dudmey And how does riot control disperse a crowd? I’d like to hear from you.
@User2718218 How would they securely arrest specific individuals from the crowd while demonstations were going on?
@Rex Orbis Obviously in this day and age the police need backup because if you are going to arrest someone some demonstrators are going to attack the police like rabid animals. So you need more police forming a shield around the arrest in progress.
@Rex Orbis Depending on the situation, asking protesters to disperse is one way. If that proves unsuccessful, a police line yelling “move back” is another tactic. Nine times out of ten the second tactic works. This is not complicated and I don’t make the laws, so I’m unsure why you need me to explain something so obvious.
@User2718218 Some demonstrators might indeed attack police if said police are forming a wedge formation and breaking into the crowd with riot shields. You may understand that if a city resident gets caught in the middle of that movement they’re likely to be injured. That sort of tactic is a last resort to take 1 or 2 key demonstrators, and can easily incite aggressiveness because the police are effectively abducting from the crowd.
There should be arrests happening automatically.
The federal and provincial and local governments need to be held accountable
You Got That Right..
😡 why were the vandals not arrested!
Cause the mayor is a lefty who wants to cut funding from the police force
Somebody’s butthurt
@Oneßlood Somebody’s stupid and should lay off the drugs.
jail time (big) should be in order for ones involved
and fast track deportation.
These are not protesters. They are violent extremist groups. BLM and Antifa are hate groups. They can not be allowed to bring their racism, violence and hate to Canada.
@Shewi Shewi yes it is!!!!😒
@Shewi Shewi It is. ALL LIVES MATTERS.
Ignorant statement
@Jet Tet truth hurt !!!!
100% they push more hatred and racism than they are ironically fighting against. these ‘protests’ need to be outlawed. destroying the country. if u hate it buy a ticket elsewhere and gtfo
Absolute animals. They should be treated as such.
Non-human animals have nothing to do with this don’t blame them.
It’s just a statue lol
@Globe Stan Statues are serious business. xD
Oh look, the Canadian Taliban in action.
But without Buddah statue
Since Trudeau came in Canada has fallen apart. Completely.
The world has fallen apart. I don’t think Trudeau will be around much longer
with goddess The liberals are busy planning the foreign influence. Last year it was Greta and Obama and China.
Who this year?
Well Canada, I see your Idiots are following ours. Sorry!
maybe they can follow each other onto a boat and off this land they hate so much
Exactly
When does the Pierre Trudeau statue come down?
its probably down already , safely stored in a climate controlled bank vault .
They already spray painted it !
And the Leftist washing of Canada’s history continues … You can be sure that not one of these ‘activists’ will ever do anything that actually contributes to this country.
Welfare cases
