Sir John A. MacDonald must stay, tearing down statues is not reconciliation.

Sir John A. MacDonald is responsible for making the great country all of us Canadians live in today. He created the country where us Canadians enjoy human rights, the rule of law, and a free and open democracy. Radical leftists, however are trying to take away the rights we were given as Canadians and subjects of the British Empire before Canadian Confederation. We must not give in. There is no legitimate reason to tear down these statues, as they resemble a part of our history. Sir John A. MacDonald may have been responsible for the horrible Residential Schools, but I think we must acknowledge the negatives of our history, and celebrate the positives.
