Abraham Lincoln: National Effort

Government Buildings Dept: Sir John A? Well, there's his face on the $10 bill and his name on a few schools and government buildings, as well as an Ontario highway and a couple of bridges, although he often shares honours with his old colleague George-Etienne Cartier, according to CTV. Some who do know want a higher profile for Canada's founding prime minister -- they are pushing a national effort to commemorate Macdonald's 200th anniversary and george Washington has his monument and a namesake national capital. Abraham Lincoln has his memorial and a namesake state capital. But who knows that Tuesday is officially Sir John A. Macdonald Day? Or that 2015 is the bicentennial of his birth? As reported in the news.
