Letter: No harm in keeping John A. MacDonald statue

Editor,

Editor,

Leave John A. MacDonald statue standing. John did a lot of good. He started Canada. Wow, thanks John A. He made a few mistakes along the way – who hasn’t .

Hang loose Art Green, you have the power to stop this nonsense.

P.S. Don’t tail gate when driving. 60% of accidents are caused by driving too close to the vehicle in front of you.
