"We have no history of colonialism," declared the prime minister of Canada at a G20 meeting in 2009. Had Stephen Harper just looked at the place names across the land he would never have, made such a baseless claim. A completely different story is told the minute one lines up the stories behind people the country continues to honour. It?s a story of imperial conquerors, merciless military officers, and colonial administrators sent to Canada and around the world to expand the British empire, establish colonies, conquer new lands, suppress legitimate rebellions, and assert their racial superiority. What?s more most of them just hated to be in this ?out-of-the-way place? pining to return to England or to more exotic places. Based on thorough research and presented in alphabetical order based, Rogues Gallery reveals uncomfortable truths about people whose names have become part of our geography. These include Lord Elgin or James Bruce, who ordered the destruction of the Imperial Palace in Beijing, Garnet Wolseley, who after suppressing the first Riel resistance, ordered that Kumasi, capital of the Ashante Kingdom (Ghana), be razed, Lord Jeffrey Amherst, who called for measures for ?the Total Extirpation of those Indian Nations," then found and applied them.
