Who cares what Macdonald, Cartier and Laurier would have thought? They are dead. The service they provided the country was significant and appreciated. They are not gods but historical figures. This whole founding fathers crap imported from the US is garbage. They are not wiser or smarter than anyone living today so could you do us all a favour and not pollute the comment pages with this nonsense. The Canada that existed  then is certainly not the same Canada that exists now. Thank goodness!
