Please leave me out of your collective guilt. I never participated in a residential school. I never voted for one.My first Prime Minister is John A. Macdonald, warts and all.

We love to blame individual politicians or various institutions, religions, but none of these Schools were hidden away. They were in our own towns. We’ve been talking about them for decades. Books, politics, headlines. Apologies in Parliament. Rock stars#cdnpoli #215children

Excellent by Andrew Coyne. Yes fine remove statues and change names on buildings but maybe Canadians should each look in the mirror and ask why we keep pretending we didn’t know. We conveniently forget the 1967 story on the Inquest into Chanie Wenjack’s death #cdnpoli

The policy could not have been sustained...without tacit support...of prime ministers...Parliament, civil servants and ultimately the general pop’n. The shame of it – the immense, unspeakable shame – must be worn, not solely by individuals most directly responsible, but by Canada

If Canada wouldn't exist without JAM, as his supporters often say, then removing his statues is a small part of the atonement Canadians need to make for its role in IRS. Conrad Black's moment of clarity in 2017, “If the founder of the country is illegitimate, we all are”

We all know that any person is flawed. Add to that customs and society values that appear heinous to us as we look into the past. We honor John A. Macdonald for forming our great country. We must measure historic figures based on standards then, BUT grow from errors they made.

These statue wars are merely a distraction that moves us away from the current issues that concern First Nations ppl, who’ve long served as political footballs for the academics, columnists, & politicians who only seem to draw attn to these issues to bolster their careers & egos

"It is not to remember history but rather to honour it that statues of prominent Canadian political figures are erected... their elevation to the rank of national icons does more to distort history than to enshrine it in the collective memory."Bingo.

I’m far more disturbed that Pierre Elliot Trudeau still has a statue. After all, when he was Prime Minister, he should have known about the evil of residential schools and closed them.

"Part of what has been shocking about the events of the past week is that it seemed to take the Kamloops tragedy for many people to finally connect the dots between Canada’s Indigenous policy and the thousands of lives spent or cut short in state-imposed childhood misery."

What these activists should do is gather thousands of ten dollar bills and burn them in an act of displeasure with John A. MacDonald That would show us all just how committed they are to saving the world through the attempted erasing of history.

The filibuster only works if both parties are intent on governance. If one is intent only on power at all cost, it fails.Note, the Republicans recently voted against a bill even though receiving every negotiated concession.

"I'm not being naive," Manchin objected. "I think he's (McConnell) 100% wrong in trying to block all the good things that we're trying to do for America.” you’re also not a democrat, or representing your constituents, or supporting the Ds, or being a decent human.
