After five years out of public view, the statue of Sir John A. Macdonald at Toronto's Queen's Park is set to make a return.The statue, which has stood near the Ontario legislature for over a century, was enclosed in a protective box in 2020 after being repeatedly vandalized during nationwide protests confronting Canada's colonial past and role in residential schools.The move to uncover the statue was approved early this month by Ontario's Board of Internal Economy, which makes decisions and provides direction on financial and administrative matters of the House of Commons, particularly concerning its premises and services.According to the board's May 12 meeting minutes, members agreed "that the (protective) hoarding around the Sir John A.
