The statues are back: Have the history wars been won?

from Hub Podcasts

This summer, Wilmot, Ontario council voted to bring back its statues of Canada's former prime ministers, which had been sent to storage after being considered too controversial. Author and historian JDM Stewart details the township's 12-year long history war, and how he thinks Canadians can both celebrate and critique its historical figures.
