Some people do not want ‘Sir John A. Macdonald’, on the $10 bill.  This is because he said that indigenous Canadians did not have a place in this country.  He is thought to be a racist.  He approved the first residential schools in this country, he did not let indigenous people get food, he would make them move and take the land, finally he would force them to live on reserves.  On top of this, Sir John MacDonald is also thought to be a very heavy drinker.

What do you think?
