A statue of the first Canadian Prime Minister John A. Macdonald lies on the ground at the base of its pedestal at Canada Park in central Montreal on August 29, 2020, after it was pulled down by anti-racism protesters during a demonstration calling for the defunding of the police. - Macdonald's government has been accused of seeking to assimilate indigenous peoples through forcible enrollment in residential schools, for example, that led to a loss of language and culture

 For more than a century, at least 150,000 indigenous children have been forcibly removed from their homes to state-funded boarding schools.  Many children were abused and some died and were prevented from speaking their own language or the healthy growth of their culture.

  An official report in 2015 referred to the practice as a “cultural genocide”.

 John A. MacDonald accused him of killing many indigenous peoples due to famine and disease, and his government forced some indigenous peoples to leave the region, abandoning their traditions and customs.

 Quebec Premier Frances Legalt wrote on Twitter, "No matter what John A. MacDonald thinks, this monument cannot be destroyed. We must fight racism, but destroying some part of our history is not the solution. We have no place for vandalism."  No. Democracy and idols need to be restored

  Earlier on Saturday, a peaceful demonstration called for a boycott of police in central Montreal.

   They distributed leaflets to the public in protest, calling McDonald "a white supremacist who created a brutal residential school system and carried out genocide of the aborigines".

 It said protesters against the city's mayor, Valerie Planter, had applied for the statue to be removed but had not done so due to his "inaction."
