: Kudos to columnist Konrad Yakabuski for his thoughtful comments on the fate of Sir John A. Macdonald’s statue in Montreal’s Place du Canada.
Macdonald’s record has black spots when it comes to First Nations, such as residential schools. But history shows that he was also protective of Indigenous peoples and committed toward a Canada that included First Nations. Leaders should pro-actively address monuments that offend. History should be corrected to set the record straight. That’s not “cancel culture” or “scorched earth” – it’s the truth, which is what we want future generations to learn from.

Letters Dec. 2: Strata changes won't work; the value of school liaison officersDear Patty, maybe in a housing crisis don’t impose ANY restrictions to your property? Renters aren’t bad people just because they can’t come up with thousands for a downpayment of qualify a half million $ mortgage at decades high rates. Dear “R.W”. There is no reason for police to be in schools. None. If there’s one lesson we can learn from our southern neighbours let it be that one. We need real police before we'll know. Prove legitimacy of BC Police/Commissioner, then decide.
