Show Notes
In Kingston, Ontario, a new poll reveals that seven out of ten residents want Sir John A. Macdonalds statue returned to City Park. The survey shows strong support for restoration, with 59% fully in favor and 12% somewhat supportive. Only 13% oppose it. The statue was removed in June 2021 due to links between Macdonalds policies and residential schools, but supporters argue he played a crucial role in Canadas development. The poll findings, a surprise to many, indicate that older residents and men are particularly supportive. The citys decision to remove the statue is now under scrutiny, with claims of misleading information and a failure of checks and balances. The Kingston Heritage Properties Committee will meet on Wednesday, and if they approve, the statue could be returned for Canada Day.
