Sir John A. vandalized

KINGSTON, Ont.—Police in Ontario are investigating after a Sir John A. MacDonald statue was vandalized overnight, saying it may have been politically-motivated.
The sculpture, located in a park in Kingston, Ont., was splattered with red paint and the words “This is stolen land,” “murderer,” and “colonizer” were sprayed on the statue’s base.

Kingston Police Cst. Steve Koopman said city crews were working to clean the monument, and an event at the site to mark the former prime minister’s 198th birthday will continue as planned.
Koopman added a forensics officer is on the scene gathering evidence.
