In the heritage minute video, Sir John A. Macdonald outlines his vision for confederation en route to the Charlottetown Conference. On July 1st, 1867 Sir John A. Macdonald became Canada’s first prime minister, which is an significant event to certain Canadians (Historica Canada, 2014). In this video, it is evident that the heritage minute is telling the viewers that Canada was formed based on unity, courage, persistence, and strength. The video also shows that Sir John A. Macdonald used liquor to bribe the East Delegation. This could be controversial because it shows that our first Prime Minister used alcohol as a mechanism to win. The video however does not outline the fact that this land was already occupied by Aboriginal people.
