I'm referring to the "principle" in Cliff's post; namely that the royal "we" are clamoring to remove the statues of everyone in the country.
Fact is, this move was a response to a request by a Native community in Victoria. If there was a group that wanted the removal of a Douglas statue somewhere, then we could discuss the merits of that request when and if that actually occurred (like we are doing here).
To mentally wax about "WHY DIS DEN NOT DAT?" is literally whataboutism unless there's a similar request of similar gravity to remove the statue that wasn't honored.
