Summary
Macdonald's personal life was a mix of drugs, booze, women, back-biting, a harsh childhood, an unplanned pregnancy, unchecked social ambition, a child's unpunished murder, a distant Queen Victoria and Louis Riel. Amid all that, Macdonald managed to become prime minister… seven times while spearheading a national railroad and pulling errant provinces together into the cohesive whole known today as Canada - and all of this while mostly drunk. 2006.
