Plainly a sculpture cannot ’cause harm’ – unless the stone bison has sharp bits sticking out at ground level which might injure passers-by.
And/or unless somebody among those city councillors had a bad experience in a zoo…
.
.
..because, given how few of the great beasts roam the wild these days, it’s unlikely there’s enough human-buffalo inter-action to ‘induce painful memories!’
But skip the Guardian and go to the Canadian left media, eg the Globe and Mail, which clarifies the hang-ups..
Canadian city pulls bison sculpture in row over representation of colonialism…
Another giant leap into Canada’s lunatic wallow in self-abnegation.
Without “colonialism…”

…and hand over whatever price they get to the first Red Indian they bump into.
Because had there been no colonisation, all the land on which every house, shop, office or factory in Edmonton is located…

…would still be Red Indian hunting grounds.
The same of course goes for all the pinko journos, and celebs, in Canada or not…

Quote from Sean Penn, the multi-millionaire owner of a mansion in Malibu, among other pleasant property so far unrestored to the Red Indian ‘owners.’
NB – the church-burning perpetrated by savages is NOT artificial, but very real.
It’s a shame no arsonists have been shot so far.
To save my own indignation supplies, I offer non-Canadian readers a link to an excellent site, the True North, which helpfully has a column called “This Week In Fake News” on its Candice Malcolm Show.
There seems to be a nasty drive to subvert the proud narrative of how the United States transformed much of a great continent from a wilderness of warring tribes into a modern nation.

Portland State University Professor Cornel Pewewardy … Perhaps unsurprisingly, that Anti-Thanksgiving ‘academic’ whiner badly in need of a hair-cut hails from a college in Portland, Oregon, a sad sort of city, where bestial brutes much more savage than any of the long-dead redskins…

Scheer showed he was in near-perfect harmony with the decent majority fed up with the tiny minority of Red Indian extremists, far-left fanatics and habitual hooligans who seek to dictate their agenda by lawless subversion.
I quote from an article by a man who doesn’t approve of the Opposition leader’s words – apparently this geezer thinks Canadian society is too ‘complex’ to handle forthright responses to Enemy Within challenges!
What had Scheer said? Well, a lot.
That Trudeau’s speech was a “word salad” and “the weakest response to a national crisis in Canadian history.”
That it was missing “a clear denunciation that the actions of these radical activists are illegal.”
But simple sense these days incurs dire penalties.
“I’m not gonna speak to you!”
W …Justin Trudeau left the House for a meeting with the three party leaders closest to his perspective.
Not invited: the leader of Her Majesty’s official opposition.
.
Andrew Scheer had “disqualified himself from constructive discussions with his unacceptable speech earlier today,” Trudeau told reporters.
‘Unacceptable’ to whom?
Not unacceptable to normal decent Canadians, who understand that democracy itself becomes dysfunctional…
.
…
…when the leader of a constitutionally legitimate opposition, backed by millions of voters, is ‘disqualified’ for voicing the people’s outrage.
But not to worry.
Turdo was thus enabled to listen to the wit and wisdom of his troika, including one of the most anti-democratic political leaders (besides himself!) in Canadian history…

In Montreal, protests disrupted commuter train service on the Exo’s Candiac line, forcing the regional transit authority to sub in buses…
Sounds like Canada’s suffering the same sort of anti-social tantrum antics that the X-Stinkos have been inflicting on Brits!
But reading the report reveals that Red Indians are the main trouble-makers in this case…
.
If Magua was around today, he’d be obstructing commuters too!
—————————————————————
…. ‘blocking the Canadian Pacific rail line, impacting commuters at a number of stations.
And what a supine response by ‘officials,’ who instead of calling in the cops, are ‘keeping an eye on the situation!’
Useless plonkers!
The hapless dorks declare that ‘service could be disrupted for an indefinite period…’
That’s a damned disgrace.
Elsewhere in Canada, we read in the same story, the Mounties seem to have been doing a good job, judging from the whining heard from evicted agitators, not yet as raucous as the ranting by undesirables when malevolent Mohawks ran amok some years ago….
.But going through the whole news spectrum, I find only one gem of sanity, from Max Bernier.
Maxime comments about the blockades happening in support of Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs: We cannot allow a tiny minority of reactionary fanatics to paralyze our economy.
The page is headlined Wet’suwet’en Pipeline Protests, but is that name not pronounced Wetsuweten?
Here’s wikipedia –
Witsuwitʼenisthe correct spelling in the writing system in general use.In non-technical publications it is usually misspelled as Witsʼuwitʼen, Witʼsuwitʼen, Wetsʼuwetʼen, or Wetʼsuwetʼen due to the difficulty of distinguishing glottalized [ts] from plain [ts] and official spellings with <tsʼ> and <tʼs> in the name of the Wetʼsuwetʼen First Nation and the Office of the Wetʼsuwetʼen.
In point of fact the [ts] is not glottalized. Older spellings include Hotsotʼen and Hwotsotʼen. …
In other words, those apostrophes have just been inserted as some sort of affectation?
Who knows? Not me, because I had never heard of that tribe.
But I had heard of the Micmac Indians, on the far side of the Dominion.
That was how their name was always spelt but, childishly, that perfectly adequate usage is more or less banned now..
.
…the slavish media aping ‘academics’ who, wikipedia again tells us, discarded ‘Micmac’ as ‘colonially tainted.’
Below, a few paragraphs down, we have a royal portrait, the kind of picture one might reasonably expect to find in a town hall in many municipalities in Her Majesty’s realms and territories.
….
….
In the Canadian Province of British Columbia, as the province’s name suggests, such an item would be unsurprising.
So what a shock when the councillors of Sidney, on Vancouver Island, surreptitiously had it hauled down, and, to add insult to injury, when caught out by angry citizens, declared the dirty deed was done ‘with the intention of replacing it with Indigenous art.’
What a bunch of pinko creeps!
Appeasing militant Red Indians, who are a very small pecentage of the population, is one thing, but to do so to the detriment of the majority, with no consultation via a popular vote, is an affront.
When the local monarchist leader, Bruce Hallsor, took up the issue, he was told by disloyal bureaucrats that ‘the Queen’s portrait was removed because it represents a relic of colonialism and is inappropriate for modern Canada.’
These damn flunkeys are not only arrogant but ignorant. Canada is a constitutional monarchy, and, while there have always been disloyals, the Crown remains an integral part of the constitutional system.
The Monarchist League man is quoted as saying-
“Quite frankly I could not believe it. Sidney is quite a hotbed of monarchy…”
Like most normal people, BC folks see little reason to wander into civic buildings, so the subversives’ sneaky move occurred in May, so we’re told, but only became public knowledge last month.
…..
The missing portrait!
…
As the local news report says, ‘once word got out, the backlash began.’
The ‘explanation’ given to the monarchists undoubtedly exacerbated the rising sense of outrage.
.’…the town is engaged in a process of reconciliation with Aboriginal communities which includes spending $10,000 on Aboriginal art…’
‘Reconciliation?’
By offending every loyal Canadian in the neighbourhood?
‘A call to Sidney City Hall reveals it has received many calls and e-mails from perturbed monarchists and everyday Islanders.’
…….
So the pinko creeps are feeling the heat!
…the town of Sidney seemed to be having a change of heart.’
Now we get to the villain of the story, Sidney Mayor Cliff McNeil-Smith…
…
…..
…who, when called by the media, ‘was unavailable to answer any questions…’
Instead this mayor with the posh, double-barrelled, very British surname sent out an email!
”The portrait of the Queen will return to the walls of our Council Chambers upon a commissioned piece of First Nations art being completed, likely in early December.
I believe the Town of Sidney’s Council Chambers will be more inclusive by acknowledging both our local First Nations and our Constitutional Monarchy.”
That’s no damned answer.
Firstly, why wait till December?
Why hang about till the Indian art-work is done?
What’s stopping this lugubrious-looking character getting off his mayoral butt and putting the royal portrait back where it belongs…
….RIGHT NOW!
If they want to hang a bit of local Indian decoration somewhere in the town hall, that can be done when it’s delivered.
Which is so obvious that even a journalist noticed and wondered and asked,
McNeil-Smith would not say whether the Queen will resume her original position, reigning over council chambers, or if the new Indigenous art piece will take centre stage, but together they will share the space.
“Would not say?”
This uppity jerk should be dragged out of his cushy office and MADE to say!
He is ANSWERABLE to the people.
.
.
That’s what ‘responsibility’ actually means!
And by the way, what’s His Lugubrious Honour going to do about those slimy disloyals who dissed the Canada’s head of State as a ‘relic’ and ‘inappropriate?‘
=
=
Those republican rats need to be rooted out, named, shamed and fired!
This is typical of many communities in BC.
Nobody minds having Indian art dotted around the town or the town hall. It probably is good for tourism.
So is the monarchy. Americans come up here knowing Canada has the Queen as head of state and expect to see some signs of that.
You are quite right that the Sidney mayor is not giving clear answers. He is arrogant.
Did he authorise that cr-p about ‘inappropriate relics?’ He has to come clean
I had to look up lugubrious. He is!
It’s far too detailed in its indictment of a once reputable university in Manitoba for me to summarise usefully, but its revelations about the wilful politically-motivated suppression of uncomfortable truths – specifically, censorship of dissenting views among the Cree Indians on their history – are shockingly hard to read calmly…
.
=
….as indeed is the experience of the honest professor who worked so hard to record those views.
How Canada can ever progress ( and as the article makes clear, it’s not a subversion of educational values in Manitoba alone ) while its colleges are infested with ‘the dregs – the cowardly, the careerists, the vigilantes and the commissars’- is a question that one shudders to ask.
The only consolation, and it’s no consolation at all, is that American, British and Australian institutions of higher education are similarly toxic, cess-pools teeming with left bigots and their running-dogs.
…but the worst, an utterly unalluring, sour-faced, left fanatic – turned out to be none other than a professor at one of Melbourne’s universities…
=
…of ‘Indigneous Studies,’ so I gathered. .
While the other panellists behaved like normal people, smiling and cracking the odd joke, she glowered throughout, interjecting dour, mean-spirited comments.
Grumpy did at one point seem to get a little more animated, when she recounted the ‘abysmal ignorance’ about Aborigines expressed by some poor woman she’d met.
But what seemed to nettle her more than ignorance about her race was that the woman apparently asked her if the professorship she held was open to everyone or was it a job only offered, on a racially discriminatory basis, to ‘indigenous’ applicants.
Funnily enough, no answer was forthcoming on the show last week.
Do any Oz readers know the answer?
Was the professorial position advertised with a ‘no whites need apply’ condition attached?
Anyone who has followed the activities of the Toronto District School Board in recent years will already have formed an abysmally low opinion of that august body…
Schools not just in Canada but all over the Western world are being turned into brain-wash centres, brain-washing against the children’s own countries and even their own parents
I had heard a bit of this story but, thanks to The Rebel, it is clear to me now that a lot of the left media have chosen to spin it as somehow racist, a bit much when some of the men being victimised are of mixed race.
Please read!
Stop the witch hunt against the five servicemen in Halifax!
On Canada Day, five servicemen heard there was an anti-Canada rally going on in a local park in Halifax.
They went to check it out and were immediately swarmed by left wingers who told them they may not enter the park carrying the Canadian flag because it’s a flag of genocide.
The protestors were carrying an upside down Canadian flag with the word “Decolonize” written on it. The servicemen peacefully asked the mob a few questions and then quietly left.
Since then, the far left and the media have turned this innocuous story into a case of “Nazis” disrupting an Indigenous religious ceremony.
The servicemen are part of a multiracial men’s club called The Proud Boys which is anti-Nazi, not to mention that two of the five servicemen are Metis and another is gay.
Top military officials in Canada have run with this narrative, apologized to the mob and said the servicemen are facing “severe consequences.”
This is a witch hunt.
It’s despicable and we should be embarrassed that we treat our soldiers and sailors this way. We ask these men to die for our country and fight under our flag and then ruin them for daring to ask a few questions at a protest.
When this petition reaches 10,000 signatures I will fly to Halifax and personally deliver it to Rear Admiral John Newton of the Canadian Navy.
Help save these five servicemen by signing the petition below =
The Petition
The five servicemen who peacefully protested an anti-Canada demonstration must be exonerated by Rear Admiral John Newton of the Royal Canadian Navy.
Will you sign?
Signing this petition automatically subscribes you to The Rebel, even if you have previously unsubscribed.
I read some place that the five marched in singing God Save The Queen and flying a Red Ensign.
And that gets them punished?
The petition is good and I will sign it but it wont do much good.
Canada’s clinically insane.
