Sir John A. MacDonald

As a lifelong resident of this city and a taxpayer I DO NOT want the statue of Sir John A. MacDonald removed or any other part of this mans legacy removed. What happened in regard to residential schools was unfortunate and tragic by anyones standards but this individual did not single handedly contribute to the outcome. The Catholic church has to bear some responsibility and yet I hear of no pressure being brought to bear there. How long and to what extent are we having to pay for the mistakes of the past? It just seems to be never ending.
