The John A. Macdonald monument at Place du Canada in downtown Montreal was vandalized with paint on Saturday night or early Sunday morning. The statue of John A. Macdonald at Place du Canada has been defaced pic.twitter.com/hWeBe0KQVw — @simon_nakClyde Griffith said this isn't the first time the statue has been targeted. The vandalism comes a day after a war memorial was defaced in Montreal on Remembrance Day. There have been calls to take statues of Macdonald down, as well as to rename Canadian schools bearing his epithet. The anti-racism protest is set to end at Place du Canada, right in front of the newly vandalized monument.
