Who was Sir Leonard Tilley and his contribution to Canada?

A military leader in the War of 1812
A Prime Minister of Canada
A Father of Confederation who suggested the term 'Dominion of Canada'
The inventor of the Canadian flag

The correct answer is: A Father of Confederation who suggested the term 'Dominion of Canada'

Sir Leonard Tilley was not a military leader in the War of 1812. That war was fought from 1812 to 1815, and Sir Leonard Tilley was not born until 1818. He also did not serve in the military during his lifetime. Sir Leonard Tilley was not a Prime Minister of Canada. He did serve in the government as a member of the Legislative Assembly and later on as a Senator, but he was never the leader of Canada. Sir Leonard Tilley is known as a Father of Confederation because he was one of the people who helped create and shape the new country of Canada. He played a key role in the Charlottetown Conference of 1864 where the idea of confederation was first discussed. He also proposed the term 'Dominion of Canada' as the name for the new country. Sir Leonard Tilley is also not the inventor of the Canadian flag. That title belongs to George Stanley who designed the iconic maple leaf flag in 1964. Sir Leonard Tilley passed away in 1896, almost 70 years before the new flag was officially adopted.
