Reflection

John made Canada which is the most important fact and which is what makes me proud to be Canadian. Sir John A Macdonald didn't just create Canada but was a father of confederation who united many of the provinces. John also made the North-West mounted police which protects people and enforces the law. Even though John was involved in the CPR scandal he was still a great prime minster who made Canada a country. Without john A Macdonald Canada might not have been a country which is why im proud of John Alexander Macdonald .
