Guest Prof. David A. Wilson on Thomas D'Arcy McGee.

The Sept. 10 assassination of Charlie Kirk is yet another tragic case of political violence in the United States.

But Canada is not immune.

On April 7, 1868, one of the Fathers of Confederation, Member of Parliament Thomas D’Arcy McGee, was gunned down in Ottawa.

It shocked the young nation, which was already grappling with ethnoreligious strife and polarization. In many ways, just like 2025.

The foremost expert on the life and times of McGee, University of Toronto Prof. David A. Wilson, is Bob Mackin’s guest on theBreaker.news Podcast.
