19:45Now PlayingA long-covered statue of Canada’s first prime minister, John A. Macdonald, is set to be unveiled at Ontario’s legislature. It's been covered for five years after being repeatedly vandalized. Critics, including Indigenous leaders, say displaying it again disregards the Macdonald government’s damaging legacy with respect to residential schools and suppression of Indigenous identity. Others argue it’s possible to acknowledge Macdonald’s important role in Canada's history without glorifying the darker chapters of his record.
