Totem pole set on fire on Vancouver Island in retaliation for statue removal
Mounties are investigating after a totem pole was deliberately set on fire in Shawnigan Lake.
The RCMP were contacted just after 4 am on Friday by a motorist who saw that a totem pole at the Malahat lookout was on fire.
The Malahat Volunteer Fire Department was already on scene extinguishing the fire when officers arrived.
Fresh graffiti was also located at the scene referencing the recent events in Victoria where a statue of James Cook was pulled down and thrown in the Victoria Harbour.
“The quick thinking of the passing motorist likely saved not only the totem pole, but also a forest fire,” said Shawnigan lake RCMP Detachment Commander Sgt Tim Desaulniers. ....

Totem pole set alight on Malahat likely retaliation for tearing down of Cook statue: RCMP


“While the removal of the James Cook statue reminds the public of our presence, it is a two-edged political tool,” Tom said in a statement. “On one hand, it pushes the envelope and forces the public to confront the real issues. On the other, it can embolden racists, sway moderates, and put Indigenous people in harm’s way.
“We support calls for the cancellation of Canada Day and we support those who are grieving the loss of our children, but we do not support the destruction of property in their name.”
Hours after Cook’s statue was thrown into Victoria’s Inner Harbour, vandals set fire to the totem pole on the Malahat lookout off the Trans Canada Highway. ....
