Canada's first prime minister, Sir John A Macdonald, was a chronic alcoholic with a propensity for consuming copious amounts of booze. He suffered a severe stroke on May 29, 1891. Macdonald died eight days later, on June 6, 1891, at the age of 76.

In 1873, Macdonald was accused of taking bribes to award contracts for the construction of the railway. The Pacific Scandal broke and Macdonald was forced to resign on November 5th, 1873. Liberal leader Alexander Mackenzie formed a caretaker government. After New Years, 1874, the Liberals called an election. Macdonald's Tories were unable to recover from the scandal and the Liberals formed a majority government. This election was also the first in Canada to use a secret ballot.

Macdonald was returned to power in 1878 on the strength of the National Policy, In 1891, Macdonald won the elections again, but by this time, the 76-year-old political warhorse started to feel the years of overwork, stress, drink and several bouts of severe illness,

John A. Macdonald is considered a Father of Confederation because he played a crucial role in the creation of Canada as a unified nation in 1867. As a leading political figure, he advocated for confederation, promoting the idea that joining the British North American colonies would strengthen their economies, improve defense, and foster political stability. Macdonald was instrumental in the drafting of the British North America Act, which established Canada as a federal state, and he became the country's first Prime Minister, guiding its early development. His vision and leadership were pivotal in shaping the foundations of modern Canada.

Yes. Canada's first prime minister, and one of the Fathers of Confederation, was a notorious drunk.

For example, he was known for falling off the back of a railway car while making an election speach.

Yes, Sir John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada, had pets, including a dog named "Teddy." He was known to have a fondness for animals, and Teddy was often seen accompanying him. Macdonald's love for his pets reflected his more personal and softer side, contrasting with his political persona.

john a MacDonald did many things in his carrier that were important to Canada.

for one he built the rail road and two of his wifes died.

all in all he did do that much for Canada that you or i couldn't do.

thanxs for reading.

Upper Canada was feeling the effect of the United States Manifest Destiny policy which would see Britain and all others displaced by the USA. British and Canadian, as well as Mexican, Spanish, French, even Russian land was being taken by the USA often by force.

Aligning and working with the remaining colonies Canada was hoping to present an effective military response to U.S. actions, which over the years had included invasions.

Much of the support and work towards Confederation was done by First and Second Generation Canadians, including those from Ireland and Scotland. In Canada these people are often called English or British but they were people who had been defeated by the British Empire and would not consider themselves English. Many were openly hostile to the British Empire.

Upper Canada also had the largest population of all the colonies, meaning they had the least to fear or lose from joining such a Confederation. They did manage to set up the ruling system in such a way that this larger population was translated to dominance in Confederation enabling Ontario to effectively rule over most other members. So much so that Ontario's history is now in many ways considered Canada's, the Confederations history.

Upper Canada had everything to gain and little to lose from a Confederation with other smaller colonies.

Despite being Canada's first prime minister and founder, MacDonald suffred from severe alcoholism and was drunk a lot of the time he was prime minister. He was not a bad leader. Without him, Canada would be a diffre nt place today.

Frankly, Sir John A Macdonald was most interested in consuming alcohol. His alcoholism prevented him from dealing effectively with many important and urgent matters of state. Canada prospered and grew not because of him but in spite of him.
