I say we dig em up and make him the new PM!
There are two stories about John A. MacDonald that I always remember. During one session of Parliament, he got so drunk he passed out. Unfortunately for him, he fell asleep onto one of the candles lighting the chamber, and lit his football hair on fire. During a speech, he drank so much that he threw up standing. His opponent jumped on this opportunity. Look at you! Youre so drunk that youre throwing up to which the first PM fired back I threw up not due to the drink, but because I have to listen to you. I thought Id add a bit about Mackenzie King, our longest serving PM. In 1929, right after the market crash, he promised to do nothing about the incoming great depression. Obviously, he lost to the Conservative candidate, (pretty sure it was R.B. Bennet?). The conservatives fucked up the first 5 years of the depression *so* fucking bad that they werent elected again for over a decade. So maybe theres something to be said for the seances....
I got the sense in history class that he was quite a sad man. Driven to drink by the extreme stress of politics, the death of his wife and baby, caring for his disabled daughter, and supporting the rest of his family. Not exactly the fun kind of degeneracy, a la Churchill.
