Who was Sir John Alexander Macdonald?

Canada's first Prime Minister
The first French-Canadian prime minister
The Scottish-born director of the Canadian Pacific Railway
Leader of the Metis people

The correct answer is: Canada's first Prime Minister

Sir John Alexander Macdonald was Canada's very first Prime Minister. While it is true that B is incorrect because he was not French-Canadian, choices C and D are also incorrect. Although Macdonald was Scottish-born, he was not the director of the Canadian Pacific Railway. As for being the leader of the Metis people, that role was held by Louis Riel, who was a political leader and founder of the province of Manitoba, not Macdonald. Therefore, A is the only correct option as he is remembered as the first Canadian Prime Minister.
