The iconic statue of Sir John A. Macdonald has sat at the foot of the Queen ’s Park estate in downtown Toronto for more than 100 years .

During a summer of protests in 2020 , the statue was covered to protect it.

Ontario Speaker Ted Arnott decided the statue should be placed in a box for its own protection.

Two years later , the Progressive Conservative government passed a law which took away Arnott 's right to decide the fate of the statue.
