Kingston is about an hour down the road. We often go visit friends there, shop, and stay for lunch or dinner. The owner of this pub is trying to erase Canada’s first Prime Minister, the man who helped unite disparate elements to form this once great country.
We shan’t be going to this pub.
“Some of our customers and some of the native organizations in the Kingston area said that they could no longer do business with us. They said that it was no longer a safe place for them, and that the name ‘Sir John’s’ just brought back too many unhappy memories for their communities,” Fortier said.
