Who was Sir Leonard Tilley?

  1. A Prime Minister of Canada

  2. The first Governor General of Canada

  3. A Father of Confederation from New Brunswick

  4. A famous Canadian explorer

The correct answer is: A Father of Confederation from New Brunswick

Sir Leonard Tilley was a key figure in the creation of Canada as a nation. He was a strong advocate for confederation and played a crucial role in negotiations leading up to the formation of the Dominion of Canada in 1867. He also served in the first Canadian federal government as the Minister of Customs, as well as a few other ministerial positions. It is important to note that while A, B, and D may be notable roles to hold in Canadian history, they do not accurately reflect the significant role Tilley played in the Confederation process.
