I lived in the US for 27 years. I have a lot of family there, and try to visit every year. I get you with the ideas. My argument was that statues were about more than history, and sentimentality. Which I think is important. But maybe, history and sentimentality might not be a good reason to risk soldier's lives. I do get that. I just wanted to point out that - in a lot of cases - it's about more than that.
Another point is, do you really want big tech to be in charge of our history and how we remember the world?
And if you don't think US politics affects Canadians... It is, in many cases - most cases - more important than our own politics. Still, I do have other reasons for being here.
And, also, I do apologize. I'm not trolling. I do care about all of this. I'm not, nor do I believe I can, nor do I want to influence US policies or decisions. I am just a guy in a forum, talking about things, and learning about things that really do affect me and my family a great deal.
