Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Kingston Dept: The statue in Kingston, Ont., was defaced with red paint and the words murderer and colonizer were scrawled across its base. The words this is stolen land were also written on the monument, according to CTV. In fact, Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a statement Friday morning praising Canada's first prime minister and founding father. A statue honouring Canada s first prime minister was vandalized Friday -- the very day that would have marked Sir John A. Macdonald s 198th birthday. The vandal appears to be informed on Canadian history, with the damage occurring on Sir John A. Macdonald Day -- the same day Heritage Minister James Moore is scheduled to appear in Kingston for an event honouring Macdonald in his hometown. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
