On the anniversary of a national psychotic episode. . .
Four years ago this week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered the flags lowered on all federal buildings across Canada. He’d already ordered the flags lowered on Parliament Hill over the weekend before. All the flags remained at half mast for six long months.
There were riots. Statues of Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, John A. Macdonald, Egerton Ryerson, Joseph Hugonard, James Cook and other historical figures were toppled by mobs or formally removed in Charlottetown, Winnipeg, Toronto, Kingston, Hamilton, Lebret and Victoria.
