You are being cheeky now - taking advantage of my old age - but not quite that old. He was the guy that brought together all the provinces under one roof was he not. Quite a guy he must have been.

Yes he was the architect and driving force behind The British North America Act (1867) which of course on July 1st is 150 years old! Sadly his political career ended on a sour note as his party was entangled in a bribery scandal involving the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
