“It’s hard to imagine a reputation being trashed so hatefully, so suddenly, and so thoroughly…. Students are taught that Macdonald is a person of whom Canadians should be ashamed … a racist, a colonialist, a prototypical Nazi, an architect of Indigenous genocide.” (Patrice Dutil, Professor, Toronto Metropolitan University, 2025)
‘Sir John A. Macdonald, the greatest PM of all’ was the title of a January 9, 2015, Toronto Star opinion piece commemorating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Canada’s first Prime Minister. The author was the late Richard Gwyn, for years the Toronto Star’s leading political columnist.
