What the stunned snowflakes fail to grasp is that great people often have great vices. Churchill was a boozer...Kennedy was a womanizer...Jarad from the Subway ads was a pedophile (joking)...etc.
And I agree, it's awfully disingenuous to apply today's standards against different eras. My father is/ was a wonderful person. But we drove around as kids in the wood-paneled station wagon with no seatbelts...rolling around in the back with the groceries...while Dad chain smoked in the front seat. He'd be blackballed by the community and considered an evil person by today's revisionist lens.
Unconventional individuals become great leaders.

watched a pretty damn good series a few months ago. TURИ Washington's Spies
one can only speculate as to the reasons idiot executives cancelled it before the whole story was completed
but the last episode of season 4 summed things up pretty well - even made our dear Lord Simcoe's monstrous role in it all almost forgivable
I don't know, but given today's rabid cancel-culture of toppling statues of past figures, if John Graves Simcoe really did half the heinous things he is portrayed to have done in this historical series, then I'd say expunge his name from lakes, towns, counties, schools and any other structures/buildings and anywhere else it may appear. His time was before Canada became a country anyway, so the dude ain't even Canadian. fuck 'im
only allow the townships named after Lady Simcoe's dogs to remain the same, as dogs, at least, have more honour than that murderous clown who became Upper Canada's first governor
but season 4's last episode at least gave him credit for a change of heart and perhaps I suppose an ounce of redemption which I can't even be too sure about

I haven't heard that song in years since I saw them in probably 1992
Eliminating slavery in Canada apparently wipes out all the other shit.
I believe it ended because they used the Murdoch Mysteries set and it didn't get a lease renewal.
I remember being pissed when the city renamed Oakmount Park (on Oakmount Ave) to Park Lithuania some 50 years ago. like wtf?
There weren't even all that many lugans in the hood. there were more honkies 'n polaks 'n estonians, slovenians, etc., than there were lugans.
but, you know social engineers - they just can't leave well enough alone!
