To give you an idea how biased the media coverage has been on this issue, I wrote an editorial to the Halifax Chronicle-Herald on this attempting to put Cornwallis' actions into their broader historical context.  I tried to show that his actions could not be understood unless you were aware of the corresponding actions of the Miq'maq and the French in a brutal colonial war. Despite their publishing me before, they wouldn't touch it. This is despite several attempts, even a visit to the newspaper to speak to someone.. Yet I posted it online to generally positive comments. There is a small minority dominating press coverage of this issue and the press is afraid to cross them.
