I'm sorry about Ms.Desmond's racist ordeal, and her personal tale of determination is noteworthy - though banknote worthy as the new fixture on the $10 bill is another thing entirely.  

However, I note that the government is kicking Sir John A. Macdonald off the ten dollar bill - Canada's first and IMO greatest PM.  Without Sir John A., there would be no Canada as we know it with $10 bills, certainly no Canada from sea to sea to sea.

I think it is significant and spiteful that this is the bill the Liberals are changing.
