Why this petition matters

Started by James Price

Let's stop printing any bills honoring John A. Macdonald, the Father of Residential Schools and the First Prime Minister of Canada to launch Indigenous Genocide. He is akin to being "Canada's Hitler ". He won't be forgotten from history but shouldn't be honored on our money. Ironically, many First Nations people get $5 dollars a year as "Treaty Money". What an insult to be given a monetary currency with the image of a man who was instrumental in trying to eradicate what was termed "Indianness" or the "Indian problem".  (MacDonald was on the $10 and Laurier on the $5). Shame shame shame! Print a new $5 bill with First Nations children on it.
