Thousands of people from all parts of Canada spontaneously combusted on Saturday, moments after a statue of Sir John A. McDonald was taken down in Victoria, BC.
“My husband was watching the livestream and getting more and more agitated, muttering about ‘Aboriginals’ taking over the country,” said Henrietta LeBlanc, whose husband Arnold was among the approximately 8,900 who combusted.
“All of a sudden he shrieked and there was a huge flash of light and all that was left was ashes.”
LeBlanc is among a growing chorus demanding the halt of such statue removals, fearing that many more will combust if the practice continues. In another bizarre incident, a former Brock University professor began speaking from his anus in the wake of news of the statue’s removal.
