Remove Pierre Trudeau from all buildings.

Pierre Trudeau’s name is on schools, airports, and other government buildings. However, Pierre Trudeau was one of the driving forces behind a 1969 White Paper that called for eliminating any recognition of separate Indigenous rights.

I think the Indiginous Community has to take a serious look at this guy too. How will little Justin react to that one?

So, since we are judging historical figures by today’s standards, it’s obvious that Pierre Trudeau’s name must be removed from all federal buildings. After all, why should taxpayer money go towards buildings that are promoting his oppressive memory?

I agree with removing the oppressive Indian Act. Just do it.

But removing all P. E. Trudeau from all public buildings because someone might cry?

Gimme a break.

I thought that about the Sir John A statue...what is the difference?

Tell me about the direct lasting harm done to indigenous communities by Pierre Trudeau?

The statue in Victoria was removed as part of a reconciliation effort by a commity who’s specific purpose was to identify ways to help with that process.

Pierre Trudeau is the topic of this conversation because some people who don’t even respect indigenous people’s feel they can use them as a tool against a political figure who has nothing to do with the Victoria controversy.

Wow. Just keep reaching for the bottom. You’re so close now.

Pierre Trudeau exemplifies the Canadian government's disdain for the western provinces and needs to be removed. He was NOT my Prime Minister and has only hurt the West.

We need to remove his statues because he triggers a sense of anxiety and despair - the only depiction of him should be contextually accurate; with his middle finger raised.

IF a small portion of the Canadian population deserve to have changes occur due to their feelings then other Canadians have just as much right to request the removal of other PM's from the past to be removed.

In fact I think the current Trudeau is rather offensive, and I found his India trip rather racist and not at all complimentary, I think all images of the current Trudeau should also be removed from all media and other mediums as well.

I can agree with you Queen, but the fact remains if some people can whine and have knee jerk reactions than other Canadians have the same right. IF my post sounds silly and over the top it's because it is, I think removing the statue was silly as well since destroying things isn't reconciliation but retribution and a useless process.

Really? Look those up
I think those are symptoms of a larger problem.

The guy sank our whole country. Tell me why u like him

Martin Luther King Jr spoke out against homosexuality, perhaps we can destroy those monuments next.

[Leifer]

Pierre Trudeau was in power for fifteen years while residential schools operated.

Why didn't he do anything to stop this system in its tracks?
He had the power to do that?

Did he not care enough about FN peoples??

I say we should start tearing down his monuments and scratching his name of facilities right away.
Is Justin aware of his fathers negligence in not dismantling the residential school system?
What about the 60's scoop?

All under Pierre Trudeau's watch.

Charter of rights and freedoms. Father of our modern constitution and a truly independent Canada. You say he sank our Country, but he is responsible for the very country we are today.

Same can be said about John A yet we are ripping down his statue.

Macdonald was the leading figure in the subsequent discussions and conferences, which resulted in the British North America Act and the birth of Canada as a nation on 1 July 1867

I’m in awe of the aboriginals, they truly were world leaders. They came up with a democratic system that was in part adopted by those who came to Canada after. I don’t remember too many details, but the Iroquois were very intelligent and strategic people. However, I also remember that they committed genocide by completely wiping out the Huron tribes. So, that leaves me to ponder, should we remove all totem poles and aboriginal statues/history out of respect for those who died?

[Btfsplck]

Yeah, maybe not...

The Huron are still alive to this day, what makes you believe they went extinct?

Those who are dead don't care about what is standing and what is not, aim to help relations with those who are still alive. Like survivors of the Canadian residential school system.
