The left has become the Taliban. Cornwallis founded the city and he was no harsher to the locals than any Roman or Viking city founder was to the locals when they swept through Europe. He was no more brutal than the native tribes were to each other. This is insanity. Halifax was a British settlement, it only exists because of the British Empire. Should we tear down all of the architecture prior to 1982 when we repatriated our Constitution from Britain?
