Ontario Government to Protect Historic Statues Amid Protest Threats

The Ontario government plans to wrap eight historic statues at Queens Park to prevent vandalism during expected protests next week. This decision comes after a statue of George Brown was damaged during recent student protests against changes to student aid programs. The cost of repairs exceeded $5,000, and two individuals were arrested. Premier Doug Ford encourages peaceful protests but warns against damaging the statues, emphasizing their historical significance. The statues will be covered temporarily before lawmakers return on March 23rd, with officials urging responsible protesting and adherence to rules.
