Dropping the first Prime Minister Name

[Rider59]

These tender delicate fools just shoot them selves in the foot every time they make such asinine proposals. I can see a Trump type getting in power here just out of protest of this silliness. The SJW of this world types needs to be stopped. NOW!!!!!!!

Give an inch......

While you're at it, might as well get rid of statues of Abraham Lincoln who was considered the greatest president ever in the US. He did great things for the US but does not live up to leftist standards today (in their minds). Values were different back then, yet these people had their part in making America Great.

'Though Lincoln argued that the founding fathers’ phrase “All men are created equal” applied to blacks and whites alike, this did not mean he thought they should have the same social and political rights. His views became clear during an 1858 series of debates with his opponent in the Illinois race for U.S. Senate, Stephen Douglas, who had accused him of supporting “Black equality.” In their fourth debate, at Charleston, Illinois, on September 18, 1858, Lincoln made his position clear. “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races,” he began, going on to say that he opposed blacks having the right to vote, to serve on juries, to hold office and to intermarry with whites. What he did believe was that, like all men, blacks had the right to improve their condition in society and to enjoy the fruits of their labor. In this way they were equal to white men, and for this reason slavery was inherently unjust.'

why would anyone want to defend genocide believing leaders or slave owning leaders . germany has laws against hitler nazi symbols . but here in north america some want to preserve these monsters ? . the can be in museams history books ect ect but they should be part of public property or school names .

the main problem is the real historyvis not teached . if it was this wouldnt be a a discussion. people would look at these people in the proper light

B.C.’s First Nations Education Steering Committee, an independent group that focuses on education for First Nations youth, says it supports the move.


MacDonald was in office when Canada established its first residential schools.


“Nothing like that should be just knocking some statues down and [walking] away. It really needs to be an educational opportunity,” said committee president Tyrone McNeil.


And he said here in B.C., the curriculum needs to change when it comes to how students are taught about MacDonald – something he said needs to happen from elementary schools through to post-secondary.


The final report produced by Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 – which concluded that the residential school system was a form of cultural genocide — contained 94 recommendations, including that schools introduce mandatory curriculum on residential schools, treaties, and Aboriginal peoples’ histories.

There was no genocide as the overly sensitive believe. JM was a great statesman who saved Canada. What he thought of the indigenous at the time is what EVERYONE thought in that era and yes some bad things were done which was the way of life in the mid-1800's. I know some like to indiscriminately call everyone hitler, but this is a topic under discussion. It is common these days for aboriginals to use historical presentism viewing the flaws of those 100's of years ago in the eyes of values today. In doing so, there isn't a single person in history you can admire.

Maybe we shouldn't name schools after Metis, Louis Riel since he was a traitor, murderer, and mentally ill.

[maryjane48]

no genocide? wheres your proof ? still going to ddmefend a person who treated the first nations same as hitler treated jews or isil treats non isils . you dont know canadian history is the only logical e cuse because anything other than paints a person as not very deserving to be a canadian .

Here's a bit of good news for the sane among us:

http://www.boom997.com/2017/08/24/poll- ... e-renamed/

94% say NO. Do NOT rename schools that bear the name of Sir John A. McDonald. Justin Trudeau made a mistake when he renamed the Langevin Building (http://www.macleans.ca/politics/trudeau ... vin-block/) and I hope that the Ontario government doesn't make the same kind of mistake by giving in to the Ontario Teachers' Union.

do you want hitlers image all around canada ?

This Hitler garbage being posted in every thread is really getting tiring. This is why Trump won. This kind of garbage right here.

[maryjane48]

why would you want to keep the name of someone that commited genocide . might as we rename kelowna to hitlerville and ubc to stalintown . calling anyone sane for standing up for racism is like replacing the maple leaf with a swastika im sure the canadian jewish foks must be real proud of the right neo nazis movement in canada and apparentky this forum

[maryjane48]

lol trying to use mr riel as some type of example is like saying well all them jewish folks in 1930s germany should have realized at that time germans of the nazis party didnt like them and considered them to be anti german and got what was normal in 1930s germany .


sorry but that doesnt fly . you see if you knew the real version of our history and not the genocidal one you would understand the folly in trying to use a innocent person as a example . and further more the fact you tried to paint the first nations as the ones causing your distress really aligns you with them alt righters .
