CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.
Leaders responsible for genocide should not be commemorated
The fact is, John A Macdonald's history is NOT being taught. If the true horrors he is responsible for were taught widely, this would not be a discussion. Would we allow a statute of Hitler to remain because "it is a part of history". Absolutely not. Those that think this is cancel culture are just defending a time when racism was acceptable. Being the first Prime Minister and being linked to things we are taught are highlights of Canadian history, DOES NOT negate the entrenching of racism, erasure of culture and MURDER of children. TAKE IT DOWN.
