As much as this idea is worthy, it won't get anywhere under this government.  

Wilson-Raybould was wrong in deferring to the Mi'kmaq on this issue.  It's not their call to make.  It's up to the people of Halifax.  Cornwallis established their city, and if they want to honour their city founder (or not), that's their choice and their choice alone.  

The Minister erred in ceding/implying/acknowledging jurisdiction on the matter to the Mi'kmaq.  You'd think a Minister of Justice would know better.
