Cornwallis was not only responsible for killing the Mi'kmaq, but also for the highland clearnances of Scotland, another genocide. Should we really have statues honouring persons responsible for atrocities? Hitler was an important historical figure who had an immense influence on the course of the 20th century. I am sure that there were once many statues of him in Germany, but those have now been removed with good reason. Why would we not do the same with Cornwallis' statues?
