I can also kind of empathize with the sentiment that City Hall isn't exactly welcoming for First Nations when there's a statue in front of it, lionizing a guy who helped steal your land and hand your ancestors over to pedophiles and child abusers, creating a ripple effect of long-lasting, inter-generational abuse and trauma.
