A Few Facts Every Canadian Should Know about Sir John A Macdonald

More than a century and a half after the formal birth of the nation he played a lead role in creating, debate continues around Sir John A. Macdonald and his government’s approach to Indigenous people in Canada. While his name has been removed from some schools and other public institutions across the country, his defenders argue that his efforts have been misunderstood or distorted. Because of his exceptional significance as the leading Father of Confederation and Canada’s first Prime Minister, the Canadian Encyclopedia commissioned essays that provide sharply different views on this issue: Below is “A Few Facts Every Canadian should know about Sir John A. Macdonald”, by Greg Piasetzki. Please also read the companion piece “John A. Macdonald was no Friend to Indigenous Peoples ”, by Niigaan Sinclair and Sean Carleton.
