Canada Day protesters in Winnipeg knocked over statues of Queen Victoria and Canada’s reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.

NDP Member of Parliament Niki Ashton celebrated the vandalism as an act of “decolonization,” despite her four oaths to the Queen as a member of parliament.

True North’s Andrew Lawton says the activist mob is not simply opposed to statues, but the entire existence of Canada as a country.
