Who was Donald Smith (Lord Strathcona)?

  1. The first French-Canadian prime minister

  2. The father of Manitoba

  3. Drove the last spike for the Canadian Pacific Railway

  4. Canada's first Prime Minister

The correct answer is: Drove the last spike for the Canadian Pacific Railway

Donald Smith, also known as Lord Strathcona, was not the first French-Canadian prime minister (A), as that title belongs to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He also is not the father of Manitoba (B), as that title belongs to Louis Riel. While he was an influential figure in Canadian history, he was not Canada's first Prime Minister (D) either. That title belongs to Sir John A. Macdonald. The correct answer is C, as Donald Smith played a crucial role in the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway by driving the last spike, connecting Canada from coast to coast.
