This sculpture has an interesting histoy. It was originally the official image located behind the legislature building. Certain crititcs made so many demeaning comments that it was moved behind St Boniface College in St. Boniface (the Francophone distract of Winnipeg).

I don't know much about sculptures and statues, but I find this one very strong, Don.
Perhaps projects the personality of this man... ?
A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.
