He was born on January 11th, 1815 in Glasgow, Scotland. Sir John A. MacDonald, our first Prime Minister, has always been considered to be one of our greatest political leaders.I like Sir John A. MacDonald because he played a large role in Canada's history. He is one of the Fathers of Confederation. I visited his summer house last year and visited his gravesite this year. Both are in Kingston, Ontario.
For Sir John A. MacDonald's grave he asked for a simple stone cross (as you can see in the picture on the right-hand side). The Canadian government added a fence, a Canadian flag and a monumental plaque.
Sir John A. MacDonald was a very great Prime Minister. All Canadians be grateful for the country we live in and for the man who made it happen.
Hi Nick. I like Sir John A too. Did he come to Canada when he was a young boy?
