Is there a better way to signify the destruction of Canada than by tearing down the monuments of our founder?

I think it's important to keep this statue for many reasons and I think that this new trend of 'cancel culture' as they call it, is extremely toxic and it all comes down to poor attitude. My roots here in Canada and in the county, both European and Native, date back as long as anybody's, and I think the problem that we really have here comes down to perspective and how we choose to look at things. When I see a monument of Sir John A, I don't see a monument representing a racist man who did things that we now see, in this day, to be wrong, I see a monument representing the first Prime Minister of Canada, the country I love. I know about the good and the bad things this man did. I also know that it was a different time and that throughout history, a lot of people did a lot of things that we now know see as morally wrong. But they didn't then, and we weren't there so who are we to judge? We should look at those things as a reminder of how much we have endured and how much evolved as people and as a country, look at that aspect of it in a positive way, and be proud and keep things moving in the right direction. This idea of erasing history is shameful, wrong, and illogical.
