    Cornwallis rally in Halifax celebrates statue's removal


    A small group of people played the drums on top of the concrete square Sunday afternoon where the statue of Halifax founder Edward Cornwallis once stood for 87 years.

    They're celebrating the statue's removal from the park that's still named after him. Originally the event was going to be another call to remove the statue, but the municipality took down the bronze monument on Wednesday following a 12-4 vote.

    Ah. Though I understand the issue I wonder if no one will remember nor care about the people from generations prior in 50-100 years without that statue serving as a reminder. And I mean no offense to the Mi'kmaq as I know some.
