@Sir_Aime First all you @Sir_Aime have the complete wrong idea of confederation, its not taking your local government it is using it to create a unified bilingual government. This will actual preserve the french culture+language #IllDrinktothat

[John A. Macdonald @JohnAMa90589614]

I believe based on all the proof that we’ve seen the pros greatly outweigh the cons for Confederation. Therefore those who are not yet for confederation should get on board soon. #GoConfederation

[John A. Macdonald @JohnAMa90589614]

Confederation will also help to preserve the french culture in Canada. So it is not overuled by British law. Without confederation we will continue to have more and more British laws put in place and all other cultures will be lost. #Multicultural #bilingualgovernment

@Howejoe12 @DarcyMcKool @EdwardP07162937 @Sir_Aime You also said that we would be risking financial support.But with confederation and all the colonies brought together we would have the ability to bulid a railroad across Canada which would allow people to sell their good around the country.Small businesses would thrive #goodidea

[John A. Macdonald @JohnAMa90589614]

Confederation is going to be put in place whether you fight it or not @Sir_Aime it is the only future for Canada. If we unite as a country then the USA is less likely to attack us if we are self governing governement rather then being separate colonies. #StrongerTogether

@Howejoe12 @DarcyMcKool @EdwardP07162937 @Sir_Aime As well @Howejoe12 we are just becoming independent from Britain, we are still going to be great allies therefore if we were ever in great need of military assistants its not like they still aren't going to be there. @TheRealQueenVic

@Howejoe12 @DarcyMcKool @EdwardP07162937 @Sir_Aime First of all everything you said in this statement is false @Howejoe12 you said that we would be (risking our military aid). When yet we would actually be strengthing it, we would have a more united military with all the colonies in Canada joined together.

[John A. Macdonald @JohnAMa90589614]

@Howejoe12 @DarcyMcKool @EdwardP07162937 @Sir_Aime Base on the many civil wars we have fought I think we have proven to both ourselves and other countries. That we are more then capable of defending ourselves without the help of British troops.

[John A. Macdonald @JohnAMa90589614]

@Howejoe12 The main reason why Britian is in favour of confederation is because they want to spend less money on Canada. Therefore in an American invasion with out confederation and limited help from Britian we would stand a chance and Canada would cease to exist. #IndependentlyStrong

[John A. Macdonald @JohnAMa90589614]

@Sir_Aime What point are you try to make you state that confederation is stupid when yet you have no alternative idea. So if you have idea please state it otherwise stop arguing the inevitable.

[John A. Macdonald @JohnAMa90589614]

@Sir_Aime In confedertion British nd French Canadians will be brought together as whole for the government and it will thrive upon their separate ideas.

[John A. Macdonald @JohnAMa90589614]

@Sir_Aime @TheRealQueenVic @Sir_Aime It isn't giving all the power to the government. What it is doing is bring a separate colonies together of different cultures together and making Canada a whole as an independent country.

[John A. Macdonald @JohnAMa90589614]

Confederation is the only way to move forward, it will over all better Canada's defences as we greatly fear an invasion from the miss placed fenians + the Americans. As well as it will better our economy because it will allow us to reciprocity. #Conferderation #makeCanadagreat
