Hundreds of demonstrators in Hamilton tore down a statue of Sir John A MacDonald at Gore Park on Saturday, saying it was a symbol of genocide against First Nations people.

The federal government is committing $321 million in new funding for Indigenous communities and appointing a special interlocutor to propose law and policy changes to better respond to the findings of hundreds of unmarked graves at former residential school sites.
Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett told a virtual news conference Tuesday the funding will include $83 million that will be added to an existing $27-million program to fund searches of burial sites and commemorate the children who died at residential schools.
The funding will also include $107 million for programs to support healing from intergenerational trauma and $100 million over two years to help Indigenous communities manage residential school buildings, whether those plans include demolition, rehabilitation or construction of new facilities, the government said.
The Liberal government will also set aside $20 million to build a national monument in Ottawa to honour the survivors and all the children who were lost.
