Tom Axworthy on John A. Macdonald

Liberal apparatchik and Historica foundation majordomo Tom Axworthy lauds John A. Macdonald in a recent Toronto Star article here, in connection with the Archives new digital display of Macdonaldiana. When it comes to the first prime minister, either we get "he was a drunk and a racist," or we get this kind of hero-worshipping and uncritical tribute. But coverage is coverage.
