She can't make the argument because it's a stupid and nonsensical argument. As other posters have pointed out, post-war Germany removed literally everything from their country that glorified the Third Reich, and yet literally
everybody in present-day Germany is acutely aware of the atrocities committed by the Nazis. Germany didn't "erase" Hitler from history; they did exactly the opposite, in fact. It's precisely because Germany successfully reckoned with their past -- something Canada largely hasn't done -- that their citizens made amends with those who were so horribly wronged, educated their population such that the conditions that led to the rise of fascism will not occur again, and are now seen as a global leader in freedom and democracy.
