Richmond’s Robert E. Lee Statue Removed
A statue of Confederate commander Robert E. Lee was removed from its base in Richmond, Virginia’s capital, early on Wednesday after a yearlong legal battle over a monument that has been the focus of protests over racial injustice.
I was born and raised in Richmond, Va. This is a terrible desecration of history and heritage. By the way, how many people know that Robert E. Lee wanted to free the slaves?

O’Toole government would make “amends for past injustices” to Indigenous community
The Conservative platform says an O’Toole government would implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) calls to action 71-76 as well as finance investigations “at all former residential schools in Canada where unmarked graves may exist, including the sites where children have already been discovered.”
Residential school graves ‘totally pushed to the wayside’ in shadow of election, Indigenous leaders say
Months of reckoning with the colonial genocide that upholds the framework of Canada’s history was sparked with the May discovery of 215 graves at the former Kamloops, B.C. residential school.
Less than 2% of church destroying criminals arrested in Canada
Local police and the RCMP have made few arrests since domestic terrorists went on a non-stop church burning and vandalism spree throughout Canada earlier this year.
As far as The Counter Signal can tell, fewer people have been arrested for burning down churches in Canada than pastors have been arrested for simply trying to practice their religion during COVID-19.

TPC: Canada’s Anti-Catholic Hate Wave Is Heating Up
Justin Trudeau, the Liberal Party, and the Canadian media have, by their deafening silence and intimations, given the all-clear on anti-Catholic bigotry and terrorism.
Conservative Academics Endorse A Progressive History Against Progressives Who Call Canada Racist
In a recent article at The Epoch Times, “Erasing, Misrepresenting Canada’s History Erodes Foundations of Society,” a group of well meaning and harmless conservative historians are cited at length expressing concerns about the tearing down of statues, renaming of buildings and streets, and overemphasis on Canada’s “racist past” without an acknowledgement that this nation has been “constantly improving” away from its “racist past”. I don’t wish to speak slightingly of the historians interviewed for this article. They seem sincere in their angst about the obliteration of Canada’s past from the public sphere. But these historians speak from a defeatist standpoint and they readily accept the premises of the “progressive” Left. Their argument is essentially that Canada’s “historical trajectory” can’t be categorized as purely racist since this past eventually produced a non-racist Canada that welcomes millions of nonwhite immigrants. Canada is now a nation of “justice,” “prosperity,” and “equal rights for everyone”.
Critical Race Theory: The Secret Marxist Indoctrination of the U.S.
As the values of race become the only legitimate symbols of the nation, it would seem that a definitive and irreversible transfer or mutation of national identity is beginning to take place.
Trudeau says he would support a criminal investigation into residential schools
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that he would support a criminal investigation into the recent discovery of hundreds of unmarked burial sites at residential schools across Canada amid growing pressure on the government from the Indigenous communities.
The Meaning Of The Native Graves
It is very important to note that the entire story is made up. First, we have always known that many children died in the residential schools, which were active through the 19th and 20th centuries. Child mortality was relatively high during that period to begin with; Indian mortality overall was astronomically high; and the Church-run schools for native children were systemically underfunded by the government, resulting in subpar facilities and inadequate medical care. Second, the sites almost certainly include the graves of Christian adults from the neighboring communities, as Chief Cadmus Delorme of the Cowessess First Nation admitted with respect to the Marieval Indian Residential School, where an estimated 751 burials were detected by radar last month. The “mass graves” of public hysteria are, in fact, the ordered and intentional burial sites of people we always knew were dead, and who died of more or less natural causes. In more literate times, we might have called that a cemetery.
Brutality against indigenous people embedded in Anglo-Saxons’ DNA
Zhang Tengjun, an assistant research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies, told the Global Times Monday that with no specialized investigation team and no concrete actions, Canada does not engage in deep reflection but tries to offset the impact of the scandal on its government.
