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.

Then perhaps you should explain in what way I'm mistaken. It is fairly peculiar to hold up Washington as a model for a Canadian leader and then speak of him as a British puppet as if that somehow is out of character with Canadian identity. Macdonald was even born in Scotland and actually converted to Anglicanism.

over 90% of Canadian land is Crownleasehold. He isn't wrong, they are p.o.h.m. through and through.
