MONTREAL — The City of Montreal has announced it won't put back a downtown statue of Canada's first prime minister that was toppled and beheaded three years ago by protesters.
Erected in 1895, the prominent statue of Macdonald, who championed the assimilation of Indigenous people, was frequently the target of vandalism before protesters tore it down from its pedestal in downtown Montreal's Place du Canada on Aug. 29, 2020. The now-empty pedestal, will remain in Place du Canada as a reminder of the statue's history, the city says, with an updated plaque, to be installed in October, explaining Macdonald's legacy, and new artwork at the site by the end of September 2024.
