This isn’t the first time the statue has been a target for vandalism and protest. Some groups have called MacDonald’s legacy into question over the role he played in establishing residential schools.
In August, protesters covered the statue in plastic wrap and caution tape. The group Colonialism No More also launched a petition to have the statue removed.
