Like the U.S., Canada has been removing statues of its founders

Should we gauge our actions and the actions of our leaders in the context of history? In the context of the times they were in?

Although I am a liberal, sometimes I fear that we are applying today's standards to yesterday's ethics and morals, which were admittedly flawed. I am not advocating that we forget and forgive the wrongs of the past - heck no! All I wonder is whether there is a better of way of teaching about our past than toppling statues and removing passages from our history. How about adding a conspicuous plaque that provides more information about a statue, a relic or an insignia?
