Awww, Sir John A. Macdonald, first Prime Minister of Canada, you look all out of sorts! Â Whatever can be the matter?

Is it that you’re holding Confederation together with baling wire and duct tape (which won’t even be invented until 50 years after you die)? Â Is it because your political wheelings and dealings with respect to the Canada Pacific Railroad have been made public? Â Maybe it’s because you’ve had to endure 6+ hour speeches not only by your enemies but also by your allies and have had to make some of them, too.
Oh, I know. Â Have a drink! Â That always makes you feel better. Â It’s even from your own personal shot glass!
