Should Canada be ashamed of its own history — or honest about it?


In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen LeDrew speaks with Mark Johnson, lawyer, columnist, and founder of Save Our History, about how the Town Council refuses to restore a Sir John A. Macdonald statue in Picton, Ontario.


Johnson explains that the statue was originally installed through local fundraising and private support, without cost to the municipality. It recognized Macdonald’s connection to Picton, where Canada’s first prime minister began his legal career. But in 2021, amid national controversy over residential schools and the Kamloops graves misinformation, the statue was removed and placed in storage.


Now, Johnson and Save Our History are pushing for the statue to be returned to public view.


The conversation covers:



LeDrew and Johnson argue that history should be understood in full — not reduced to present-day political slogans. They acknowledge that historical figures were imperfect, but question whether removing statues helps Canadians understand the country’s past.
