Greetings, I am William McDougall, a humble servant of the law and a stalwart advocate for the principles of Confederation. Born on January 25, 1822, amidst the splendor of Upper Canada, I embarked on a journey that would lead me to the corridors of power and the forefront of political discourse. My endeavors in the legal realm and my unwavering support for the Clear Grit movement have shaped my identity as a devoted son of this great Dominion.
