So what? Lots of people are scumbags, but he's part of Canada's heritage, and helped build the country, like it or not.

Why would one expect a Canadian leader, especially that far back, to be a Washington? Canadian identity is arguably based at its core on a rejection of the revolution. They're a bunch of American loyalists with frogs annoying them.
