Toppling statues of historic figures is today the socially acceptable thing to do. There are people who think nothing important ever happened before the invention of cell phones.
Even John A. MacDonald and Winston Churchill mean nothing to this bunch.
Apparently, today's navel gazers would replace them with heroes from the ranks of celebrities, scofflaws and rappers.
Latest hero of the day as the protesters see it is the guy who got throttled by a heavy cop while resisting arrest in Minneapolis.
A statue erected to this hero would have to bear the inscription Died with an overweight cop's knee on his neck while resisting arrest.
This appears to be what today's heroism is made of.
