Oh, no, Joe.  Not exactly. The aim of many people--Canadians, at least--Is to exalt the bits we now love (even though, in the past, they may have been reviled), and bury the bits we now find repugnant (although, in the past, they were championed.)  

Take one of the "Famous Five" women now immortalized in statuary in Calgary: Nellie McClung.  

Exalt: her pioneering efforts in the cause of women's rights.
Bury: her passionate advocacy of Eugenics--the sterilization of the "mentally deficient" as the polite folks referred to them less than a century ago.  And for whom money was the motivation to speak publicly on behalf of teetotalers and temperance fanatics and prohibitionists.  She earned good bucks doing so. 

RCMP:
Exalt: The Scarlet Force's long march to rid the west of nasty whiskey traders.
Bury: Those occasions where they abducted Indigenous children in the dead of night "by any force necessary" and delivered them to residential schools.

That kind of stuff.
