That is what makes up this great province,” he said.“I just can’t stress enough how it’s just no longer acceptable.”He said he has also been grateful for witnesses that are standing up to racism and is encouraging British Columbians to speak up more often.“I know all members of the legislature, and all British Columbians are focused on making sure that love conquers hate, and that we can squish racism out of our community, once and for all,” Horgan added.The statues now sit covered in duct tape, which is holding solvent in place to get rid of the paint, and workers expect to be able to remove it by Thursday morning.However, some have tweeted at the city, saying the duct tape now covering the graffiti is just as bad.Not sure if this is part of the fixing/healing process, but seeing this duct tape cover-up the day after hurts us almost more than the original racist graffiti.
