I would’ve preferred a plaque go up, or another monument giving some context.  Or, just take it down.  I don’t really care.

These people are in history books, they’re in museums….   Why do they really need to be on the street corner anyways?

People used to think "Oh wow, Sir John Mac led the founding of the country".  At the time, something to celebrate, and still is.  But now we know it's more like "Sir John Mac led the founding of the country and started the horrible residential school system".  He did both great and terrible things.

I think to some people he's still great, and to others he's nothing but an evil monster, and the truth lies somewhere in between.
