Does anyone see the irony
There has been an ongoing debate about schools, parks, rivers etc named after Edward Cornwallis who founded Halifax.
Local native Americans complain that he issued a bounty for their scalps in the mid 1700s.
Already a Jr High School has been renamed. A big source of friction is a city block sized park downtown that has a larger than life sized bronze statue of Cornwallis on a granite base. They want the park renamed and the statue removed.
