#Racists in #Canada are flipping out at #ParksCanada decision to tell ugly truth about #JohnAMacDonald & not #whitewash factual #history to appease white folks who think that cruel man was a hero. He was a #genocider of Indigenous & a huge #sexist jerk. People like that don't deserve respect after death. People who put evil people like that up on heroic pedestals suffer from #racism.
Just search Parks Canada & John A MacDonald & you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm not giving racists traffic.
And what about the evil practice of seizing children to assimilate them?
"As to residential schools, they existed in Canada long before Confederation and were voluntarily attended. Macdonald’s government did build 185 day schools and 20 residential schools largely in compliance with its obligations under the Western Treaties, but attendance was voluntary at both during his lifetime."
