Why Scotland has dumped Canada's first PM

References to Glasgow-born Sir John A Macdonald have recently been removed from Scotland.org sites. The change comes amid an ongoing debate in Canada over his legacy and how he should be remembered. In the late 19th Century, Macdonald's government initiated the creation of the residential school system. For over a century, starting in the 1800s, more than 150,000 indigenous children were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to state-funded boarding schools, where children were forbidden to speak their language or practise their own culture. Some students died, many children experienced abuse.
