The statue of John A. Macdonald was recently removed in Victoria to “revise” history.
Whether or not the statue should remain depends on who you ask. I believe in remembering our past, both the positives and negatives, because it made us who we are as a society that can have this discussion. I believe the statue should remain in place so that we can have a thoughtful, civil discussion about where we were before and where we would like to be in the future. The statue’s presence reminds us of this.
The “Revisionists” should at least consider an important fact; had John A. Macdonald not existed, we would all be calling Donald Trump our president.
