John A. Macdonald action figure

I was a little harsh earlier suggesting John A. Macdonald was not a "real" Canadian. He was an immigrant who made good.

He was a pragmatic statesman, earning the title of Old Chieftain, and a procrastinating drunk with the nickname of Old Tomorrow.

There's no denying the legacy of Canada's first prime minister. He united the country with his national vision and the construction of the world's longest railway.

Macdonald would overcome personal hurdles, albeit with the help of the bottle, to lay the foundation for modern Canada.

And now you can have his action figure... .

(Imagine, if you will, in 150 years a Harper action figure???)
