Today is August twenty-ninth, 2020 (AD). It is the feast day of Saint Sabina and the beheading of Saint John the Baptist. It's been two hundred and sixty-one years since the French lost at the Plains of Abraham:
Protesters in Montreal toppled and defaced a statue of John A. Macdonald at the end of a demonstration calling on cities to defund police departments.
A spokesman for the Montreal police confirmed the statue of Canada’s first prime minister was unbolted, pulled down and sprayed with graffiti at around 2:45 p.m.

Maybe the police should be defunded:
I always wonder how people get so far along into this kinda thing without any authorities intervening to stop it. Like, there must have been a good, 10-20 minutes of set-up time, no? https://t.co/vZLB3sDkeA

Someone will replace that statue. The French still lost at the Plains of Abraham.
Nothing can change that.
