"Prime Minister Sir John A. MacDonald"

The above is from the link I provided. Let it be know to all that the correct spelling of Sir John A's name is Macdonald. He may have had the highest bar bills in the history of this country; he may have sent the Northwest Mounties off to arrest Louis Riel (and then when meeting Riel on the street gave him $50 so that he could go to Minnesota and stop causing Macdonald all those difficulties); he may have been responsible for the theft of land for the Canadian Pacific Railway (which made Harding's 'Manifest Destiny' idea go away at least as it had to do with what is now Canada); and he may have been somewhat erratic in his attendance at Parliament due to his penchant for beverages that contained alcohol, but he was BY GOD the man responsible for this country coming into existence, and he deserves to have his name spelled correctly.

Thank you.
