Keep it where it is

It’s a part of history so I believe that we need to keep it. We can’t change our history but we can learn from our past and hopefully not repeat our mistakes.

Move it and add to it

Right now the statue doesn't tell a story of anything to those that don't know who John A was or why he is even in our town. It's not appropriate on Main St either because of the autrocities and painful reminders to those whose land we now steward.It should be moved and tell the whole story from as many viewpoints and as accurate as is possible. I agree that it needs context and to not be on Main st. But please don't destroy such a beautiful work of art either. Maybe put it away until the appropriate place and additions…

We Can't Re-write History

As painful as some people think this is, it happened!!! We can't 'hide' everything that went on in the past or we will become a nation that thinks we have always been wonderful. Leave the statue where it is. We should be reminded that Canadians were not always 'kind' people.
