Thank you.  A breath of fresh air.  
Although I still fear toga parties will be outlawed due to the inherent insensitivity towards ancient Romans.....
History is what shapes us and monuments are often reminders of where or what we were at moment in time. Louis Riel may be an inspiration to some and a criminal to others. Do we take down such monuments because it offends those who see him as the latter? 
The least pleasant ones remind may remind us how low humanity can go and should inspire us to move forward and be better.  Facebook warriors or those striving for history denial should consider spending their time improving their neighbors life today and in the future rather than  swaying that same neighbor to decry the past.
