The fact that the City of Toronto immediately DESTROYED the statue after taking it down (despite the statue being erected only 17 years earlier as a gay icon at the request of the same gay community organization that was contemporaneously demanding it be removed) signifies that they know what they are doing is wrong and this is simply a purge so that their damage can't be reversed when they are removed from office and the pendulum swings back.
