The Complicated Question of Sir John A. Macdonald

CBC Radio
21 October 2024

Canada’s first Prime Minister has long been an important figure of Canadian history and in his adopted hometown of Kingston. Lately however, there’s been a public discussion of Sir John A Macdonald’s life and legacy, particularly with regard to Indigenous peoples.

In 2015,  a performance art series in Kingston explored different views of Canada’s first Prime Minister. This week, there is an updated version of that performance art  series returning to City Park. Host NavNanwa spoke to co curator of Talkin’ Back to Johnny Mac, Erin Sutherland, about the recent changes.
