12 ottob 1869 anni - John A. Macdonald (1869) John A. Macdonald negotiated the purchase of the huge Northwest Territories from the Hudson's Bay Company in 1869, and he persuaded Manitoba, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island to join the Dominion. Macdonald believed, however, that Canada's Dominion would remain symbolic a mere "geographic expression," as he put it until the government took concrete action to make Canadian unity and independence a reality.
