Move It Elsewhere

My partner was born and raised in the county, half his life in Picton, and we've discussed at length what we think.

Sir John A Macdonald's actual house is only a few blocks away, it is already used as a museum to teach about him. It makes the most sense to us for the statue simply to be moved there, as it's a more appropriate location, and have it be used as a teaching tool. Whether we agree with the man or not he played a significant role, in this area especially because he settled here, and erasing him does a disservice to our goal of not repeating past mistakes. He doesn't need to be showcased in the middle of town as an idol, or put on a pedestal, but the statue doesn't need to be destroyed either. A ground-level position outside his house with a plaque providing well-rounded and accurate historical information (Good, bad, ugly, etc) seems like a compromise that could appease both sides of this issue.
