Also intriguing from that piece ....
.... the government has decided it also will not fund the Mother of Canada, proposed for the headland of the Cabot Trail on Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Island ....
 
No great loss.  The communism monument was ugly and be projected for the wrong area.  I'm not shedding a tear over its loss.

Yes, their bizarre and expensive monument building program had the air of 'Ozymandius' about them, sadly.

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".
