Victime d’un déboulonnement | Cinq ans plus tard, Macdonald toujours décapité

Five years after protesters removed the statue of John A. Macdonald in Montreal, it remains decapitated, highlighting ongoing debates about historical figures and their modern-day consequences. While some see it as correcting historical wrongs, others consider it an erasure of history. The incident reflects a broader reckoning with statues and monuments connected to historical injustices, revealing deep divisions in how communities address past actions and honor historical figures. Local authorities and communities have not reached a consensus on whether to restore or replace the statue, illustrating the complex nature of reconciling history with present-day values.
