HELLO EBAYERS, I have a 100 more of these banknotes for sell. These bills were circulated in Canada for their 150 Anniversary. Up for sale is a set of three sequential serial numbered 150 Anniversary banknotes. Below is some history about the people on the banknotes:1. Sir John A. Macdonald was a Father of Confederation and Canada’s first prime minister, 1867-73 and 1878-91. Under Macdonald’s leadership and vision, the Dominion of Canada was founded, grew and expanded until it stretched from sea to sea to sea.
2. Sir George-Étienne Cartier was a principal architect of Canadian federalism and a proponent of Confederation as a means of safeguarding French Canada and other minorities. Cartier led Quebec into the Dominion and later participated in the expansion of Canada west to the Pacific and north to the Arctic Ocean.
3. Agnes Macphail was a champion of equality and human rights who, in 1921, became the first woman elected to the House of Commons in Canada. Entering politics to represent the interests of farmers in her riding, Macphail became an advocate of the working class and defender of marginalized groups such as women, miners, immigrants and prisoners.
4. James Gladstone, a member of the Kainai (Blood) First Nation whose Blackfoot name is Akay-na-muka, meaning “Many guns,” committed himself to the betterment of Indigenous peoples in Canada. In 1958, he became Canada’s first senator of First Nations origin.
