American or Brit?

Had SJAM not pursued uniting and creating our nation we would not have Canada. He is more the father of confederation than George Washington is the father of the USA.

Yes, white colonial history is bad but SJAM is not uniquely a bad or evil person. He chose to be active in building a nation -- this was not the easy path. He chose to give the indigenous male the ability to vote -- this was not the easy path. (Laurier revoked the indigenous vote because their votes will overwhelmingly in SJAM's favour - the "MacDonald Franchise" ). Imagine if we were treated as equals since confederation? That was SJAM aspiration. Everything else is simply revisionism in a new unenlightened interpretation.

Please keep the statue as we have much to learn of our shared history. Both bad and some good. Preserve this conversation do not edit history like Russia or China does
