Looks like this bullshit has finally made its way to Canada, spearheaded by elementary school teachers. Sir John A. MacDonald was Canada's first prime minister, playing a pivotal role in forming the Canadian Confederation in 1867, transforming Canada from a British Colony to an independent state. Tons of places are named after him, but now these SJWs want his name removed because he was oppressive towards natives. It's like calling for removal of anything involving George Washington.
Imagine what these crybabies are teaching your young kids, grooming them to be SJW snowflakes.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toron...s-name-stripped-from-public-schools-1.4259643As U.S. legislators mull the removal of statues seen by many as painful reminders of the darker moments in American history, a similar debate is playing out in Ontario over whether public schools should bear the names of Canadian figures associated with this country's legacy around the treatment of Indigenous communities.
That debate hit the floor of a meeting by the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario days ago, ending with a resolution to urge school boards across the province to consider removing the name of Canada's first prime minister — Sir John A. Macdonald — from public schools.
Widely lauded as the father of Confederation, Macdonald is credited with having joined the eastern and western parts of Canada together through the creation of a transcontinental railway.
Pareja says he acknowledges Macdonald's foundational role in the country's Confederation, but that having public schools bearing his name leaves out his role in the starvation of Indigenous people along the railway to facilitate its construction — along with Macdonald's "central role as the architect of, really, what was genocide of Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island."
