Will Sir John A. Macdonald still be on Canada’s money?

Around the year 2018, there were two different versions of the Canadian $10 bill, a new one, with an image of Canadian civil rights activist, Voila Desmond, while another version of the note had a revised image of John A. Macdonald, looking rather old, tired and ugly. Around the same time, the version of Wilfred Laurier on the $5 bill was replaced with an image of him looking old and tired. It rather appears that the plan by the Bank of Canada to remove Macdonald and Laurier from the $10 and $5 bills would be initially facilitated if these Prime Ministers were first made to appear as old and unattractive as possible.

A contest is currently under way to replace Laurier on the $5 bill, with a winner to be announced.

The current plan of the Bank of Canada is to place Laurier and Macdonald back on the money, but on the $50 and $100 notes (rather than on the $5 and the $10), while bumping Robert Borden and William Lyon MacKenzie King off of these higher value notes for good. This is not a good idea, because it has the effect of facilitating the erasure of Canadian history. The Bank of Canada should not be involved in such a treacherous scheme.

Individuals such as Viola Desmond may be worthy of recognition, however she is obviously nowhere near Macdonald or Laurier in the importance of her contribution to Canadian history. For that reason, it is important that these two Canadian Prime Ministers retain their positions on the high circulation $10 and $5 bills.

In addition, in my opinion, Robert Borden and William Lyon MacKenzie King should not be tampered with either.

Borden was Prime Minister during the First World War. His government passed the War Measures Act, created the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and eventually introduced compulsory military service, which sparked the 1917 conscription crisis. The Borden government dealt with the consequences of the Halifax Explosion, introduced women’s suffrage for federal elections, and used the North-West Mounted Police to break up the 1919 Winnipeg general strike.

MacKenzie King was the dominant Canadian political leader from the 1920s through the 1940s. He served as the tenth prime minister of Canada in 1921–1926, 1926–1930 and 1935–1948. He is best known for his leadership of Canada throughout the Second World War (1939–1945) when he mobilized Canadian money, supplies and volunteers to support Britain while boosting the economy and maintaining morale on the home front. He was the longest-serving prime minister in Canadian history. A survey of scholars in 1997 ranked MacKenzie King as the first in importance among all Canada’s prime ministers, ahead of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

The Justin Trudeau Liberal government appears to be a zealous, incompetent and idealogically corrupt group of modern Internationalist Bolsheviks who are determined to destroy Canada and recreate it as some form of utopian socialist state. In order to do this, they first want to wipe out our country’s proud history. They need to be stopped.

Laurier, Macdonald, MacKenzie King and Borden need to be replaced on the $5, $10, $50, and $100 notes, where they belong.

Daniel Haywood,
I’m not if you are aware but Sir John A Macdonald was indeed the first prime minister, and I would be silly to say he didn’t do good things for Canada, but he did in fact play a major role in confederation, the creation of residential schools and implied many racist acts that have lead to worse and worse conclusions. Remember when hundreds of graves were found? Yes, Macdonald helped push for these horrific things to happen. I am glad he got off the $10 bill and a good citizen was put on instead.
