Canadian Heritage is conducting a review to ensure the monument is compatible with 'Canadian values.'

The controversial monument, already $6 million over its original cost estimate of $1.5 million and years behind schedule, gained national attention in 2021 when CBC News reported that commemorative “virtual bricks” were purchased to pay tribute to an assortment of suspected war criminals, fascists and Nazi collaborators.

Something really ironic about Harper’s Conservative government giving $4.3 million in public funds to erect a monument to former fascists calling them “victims of communism”.
