John A. Macdonald was the engineer of a bold attempt at cultural destruction using residential schools, as well as an Indian Act which disenfranchised and disposed indigenous populations. He was also behind the first Chinese Immigration Act which was aimed at excluding Asians, violent suppression of Metis language and land rights on the Prairies, and the ethnic cleansings and separation of First Nations from economic resources that resulted in “Indian reserves”—a far more comfortable euphemism than “concentration camps.”

Our City needs to rename, remove and decolonize itself from those who created and benefited from the monstrous economic machinery of slavery. We value your suggestions and participation in reshaping our city. Input opportunities would be available until MARCH 2023.
