Hundreds, if not thousands, of children have been found in unmarked graves at schools that were set up to eliminate the indigenous population and their culture. Schools that were still running by the church and Canadian government as late as the 90’s... and this is the bit you’re upset about?

If, as you say, this was going on as late as the 90's by the Canadian government - an independent state within the Commonwealth-what the hell has it to do with the present day queen. And, as I understand, most of the schools were run by the Catholic church, their ire should be turned towards the Pope if thats the way they express their feelings. Just another excuse for the woke anarchists to use a terrible tragedy for their own ends.

Their ire has been turned towards the Catholic church. So far there’s been about a dozen churches burnt to the ground in Canada, another element of this situation which makes complaining a statue being defaced a bit silly.
As for defacing stautes of the queens. She was/is head of the Church of England. The CoE ran several of the residential schools in Canada where indigenous children were forced away from their families and assimilated into Canadian society with a multitude of horrific measures. The other aspect of which the monarchy are a part of this situation is of course it’s involvement in colonialism and the British Empire.
Of course this is just stupid, mindless vandalism and doesn’t achieve anything, one of the churches burnt down was Ukrainian Orthodox which had nothing to do with the residential schools. People are acting out of anger not logic.
However of all the stories coming out of Canada at the moment, if you’re focusing on a statue being toppled you should probably take a step back and read the conceptual room.

Most of the world was living in perfect harmony apparently. Whilst i dont condone much of what went on this whole woke debate does remind me of the Monty Python sketch "What did the Romans ever do for us"
