Portrait:	The portrait of Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first prime minister and one of the Fathers of Confederation, continues to be featured on the front of the upgraded Canadian Journey series $10 bank note. Macdonald held office from 1867 to 1873 and from 1878 to 1891. He is best remembered as a nation builder for his role in creating Canada, and for realizing his dream of building a transcontinental railway. Macdonald was a constitutional expert, who helped draft the British North America Act, which established the federal system by which the country's first four provinces—New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec—were united on 1 July 1867. During his years as prime minister, Canada experienced rapid growth and prosperity. Manitoba, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island joined Confederation, and the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway's transcontinental line was driven into the ground. Sir John A. Macdonald was born in January 1815, in Glasgow Scotland. He emigrated to Canada in 1820, and passed away on 6 June 1891.
