Cancelling holidays that are guaranteed for you but not for others at the rough end of the socio-economic spectrum reeks of privilege, while taking down statues and renaming things is more about rewriting history to make it less uncomfortable than it is about making any genuine systemic change. I'm left wondering if children's history text books are still as multi-culturally white-washed as that one I was handed in 2003. My approach to that lesson caused friction with my (white, established-settler Canadian) teacher-mentor. Wouldn't it be something if everyone tried to overcome the pomp and circumstance of history with humility, honesty and fairness? This is still on my mind weeks later as I watch people struggling with how to approach this new awareness. Only a tiny percentage of the people who live here came with expansion of empire in mind, though that isn't how media (social or otherwise) seems to be dealing with it. https://whenisholiday.com/canada/toronto-stat-holidays-2017.html
