An alternate view of some of Canada's most prolific figures as represented by their statues on Parliament Hill.

Robert Borden is perhaps best known for his approval of the use of military force to quell the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike. As war raged abroad, violence has governmental approval at home.

Sir John A. MacDonald was the first Prime Minister of Canada, but his speeches regarding the Indigenous Peoples of Canada were often dangerous.

Emily Murphy and the Famous Five not only fought to liberate women, but they also fought to sterilize the mentally disabled.
