You’re a dumbass. He’s responsible for the building of the TransCanada Railway. This project dwarfs anything Canada has done since probably WW2. It wouldn’t even be possible in this country today.
Building the railway through the Rocky Mountains was an enormous feat in the 1800s. And without the railway, BC would have joined the US. MacDonald convinced them to join Canada instead of the US with promise of a continental railroad.
He created a country bigger than the European continent. And without any civil war or major conflict.
Oh, and he wasn’t an Englishman. He was born in Scotland.
