There is something inherently wrong with putting  John A. Macdonald on this ten dollar bill - much less with an indigeous man unless it to flip the bird to John A.  for his genoicidal and racist policies that we are still dealing with today.

In 1883, Macdonald authorized the creation of residential schools; his intent being to "kill the Indian, but save the man."

 It is disgusting that Macdonald is celebrated at all since he is the very person who deliberately used the politics of famine to force Indigenous people into submission so that Canada could build a railway and populate the West with European settlers. 

 Macdonald should be remembered as a drunkard who bragged that the Indigenous peoples were kept on the "verge of actual starvation" to curb any criticism that he was wasting tax dollars, not someone who should be venerated.

And this is the person we are supposed to view as a beloved Canadian hero?  I think not.
