Both Sir John A. Macdonald and Jean Chrétien have birthdays today. Macdonald, on this day in 1815, first PM of Canada. And Chrétien turns 88 today. Should he live two more years (and I bet he will), he will become the 5th PM to turn 90.

Today is the "official" birthdate of Sir John A. Macdonald, but he was actually born the day before. His father listed Jan. 11 in his journal as his birth, but Jan. 10 is the true day. Anyways, here is my article/episode about Sir John A. Macdonald https://t.co/fxqrpyeJqm
