Renaming Cobo Hall

[EastsideAl]

Here in Canada the teacher's union wants Sir John A. MacDonald, our 1st prime minister, name removed from public schools because of his treatment of aboriginals. MacDonald was the single most important founder of our country. It would be the same as removing Thomas Jefferson statues everywhere in the U.S.

Now that's personal! Sir John A is my great-great-great-grand-uncle [[or something like that). He may have been an old Scottish racist drunk bastard, but dammit, that just means he was like a bunch of other folks in my family, and I don't see anyone taking their names off of anything...
