South of Toronto lies the city of Dixie. The Charlottesville riot was a clash between old and new Democratic ideologies. The Democratic party has a legacy of slavery, segregation, racism, and the KKK. In the furor to remove 19th Century Confederate flags, statues, and monuments, shouldn't the Democratic party change their name...or Canadians change the name of Dixie? Robert E. Lee was a son of Virginia and a Democrat in good standing.
Are conservatives becoming scapegoats for Democratic party sins? The Republican party freed the slaves and enacted legislation granting civil and voting rights (twice) for all races and women.
Those who preserve historical Civil War monuments (or city names) are not all racists, reprobates, or incorrigibles.
The Antifa reactionaries would violently and hysterically erase the historical record. They resemble  violent mobs of the Fascist/Communist regimes in the 20th Century that murdered, enslaved, imprisoned, and forcefully indoctrinated 100s of millions.
