John A Macdonald --really Canadian?

This morning I learned to my horror that John A Macdonald was not born in Canada. Indeed, he lived out of Canada for a goodly period of time. As a result I have changed my mind about him -- no longer will I see him as a significant Canadian figure. He's just another damn foreigner!

Not only is he not a true Canadian he also set the precedent on how to treat Aboriginal Peoples in Canada.
