I’m The Only Candidate for Mayor Pledged to Restore the Sir John A. MacDonald Statue
For over a 100 years the statue of Canada’s first prime minister Sir John A, MacDonald stood proud in Gore Park in Hamilton. It’s status was reaffirmed by Council in 2020. The next year as part of the BLM disturbances and attacks on Canadian history, anarchists and lunatics toppled it. No one was charged, It is now stored in a warehouse.
Without MacDonald, there’ would be no Canada. By charm and wily negotiations and sheer force of will, he united hour British colonies in Canada — present day Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to form a new nation on July 1, 1867.
The statue is located in Gore Park. The most prominent feature in the park is the central fountain. This original fountain was unveiled in 1860,[4] to commemorate the Royal tour of Queen Victoria‘s son and heir, Edward Albert.[5] The original fountain was dismantled in 1959, and a replica of the original fountain was erected in 1996 as part of Hamilton’s Sesquicentennial.[6]
The park also contains a memorial to Queen Victoria by Philipe Hebert, c. 1908.[7]
Gore Park is home to the Hamilton Cenotaph / Gore Park Veterans Memorial by William Russell Souter, c. 1923. This monument commemorates the residents of Hamilton who served in the First World War.[8]
Until the summer of 2021, the park contained a memorial to Sir John A. Macdonald by George Edward Wade, c. 1893. The statue of MacDonald was toppled by protesters following multiple discoveries of unmarked graves at former Canadian residential school sites, and has not been restored at its original location since,
