This statue has been controversial in Montreal and other statues like it.

Plante condemned the vandalism and argued that it is better to put controversial monuments “in context than remove them.” Plante also stated that new monuments should be added and that further peaceful discussion is needed. Last Updated Sunday, August 30, 2020 1:10PM EDT

Canada wouldn't exist without Sir John A. Macdonald. Newly elected Conservative leader Erin O'Toole criticized the actions of the protesters on Twitter.





What's the best thing to do with unwanted statues? Calls to withdraw funding from police forces have multiplied in the United States, but also in Canadian cities since the death of George Floyd in the United States last May. A group of anti-racism protestors in Canada’s Montreal Saturday tore down a statue of the country’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A MacDonald, who was known for imposing discriminatory policies that led to the mistreatment and death of indigenous people in the 19th century. The Macdonald Monument is a monument to Sir John A. Macdonald, first Prime Minister of Canada, by sculptor George Edward Wade (1853-1933), located at Place du Canada in the Montreal's Dominion Square.



The protest was scheduled to demand a reduction in police funding.
