A band of left-wing city councilors in Regina have gathered enough votes this week to remove the city’s iconic statue of Sir John A. Macdonald.
This isn’t the first time Macdonald has been depersoned, and it likely won’t be the last. The Regina statue located in the downtown Victoria Park area is just another casualty of a campaign to cancel the iconic founder across the nation.
The Regina statue will be immediately moved to storage until a decision can be made on the final fate of the sculpture.
“What I find particularly offensive is this notion that these are crimes of the past,” Councillor Andrew Stevens lamented to the state broadcaster – referring to Macdonald’s history founding the very country he enjoys living in.
Statues of Macdonald have been removed from several parks over the last 18 months, including by Victoria City Council and even hidden in a plywood tomb by the cowardly Doug Ford government.
Where Macdonald is not being removed by politicians, his statues are being violently destroyed by radical Antifa activists.

While Antifa and the radical left try to tear down every vestige of Sir John A. Macdonald, it is more important than ever to preserve history in your own home – where Antifa can’t get their grubby hands on things.
At The Edge Piece, we have digitally restored a classic campaign poster from Sir John A’s 1891 re-election campaign, where he held off the Liberal Party from gaining power in an early Canada. Measuring 20”x28”, it is the perfect size to frame in your home, to preserve a little bit of history that can’t be cancelled by the radical left.
