The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) plans to rename schools named after Canada’s founders. That includes cancelling Henry Dundas, Sir John A. Macdonald, and Justice Matthew Begbie.

What TDSB ignores is that many of Canada’s earliest leaders did much to bring British law & liberty to ever-more people. Macdonald, Begbie, and Dundas need to be appreciated in the context of their time, not erased from our history books.

Learn more about why TDSB is misinformed about Canadian history:

• Toronto should celebrate Henry Dundas as an abolitionist

• Sir John A. Macdonald saved more indigenous lives than any other prime minister

• British Columbia’s greatest judge, Matthew Begbie, deserves a fair trial of his own
