Canada 1867One of the Fathers of Confederation was George Brown, who also happened to be the founder of the The Globe and Mail, today Canada's largest national most and influential daily newspaper. It started as The Globe in 1844 and merged with Sir John A. Macdonald's The Mail and Empire (1872) in 1936.
The two men were also national politicians and actively disliked each other. Macdonald, a conservative, was elected as Canada's first Prime Minister in 1867 and Gorge Brown, a liberal and member of the Reform Party, ran unsuccessfuly in 1867 in both federal and provincial elections.

George Brown chose a quote from Junius as his motto for The Globe, which is still present today: "The subject who is truly loyal to the Chief Magistrate will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary measures".
Junius was the pseudonym of an English writer who frequently wrote letters to the Public Advertiser in England from 1769 to 1772 to inform the public of their historical and constitutional rights and liberties as Englishmen, as well as pointing out where these rights had been infringed. The same types of letters were written in Scotland by Henry Mackenzie to the Edinburgh Herald in 1790 and 1791. In the United States, Junius letters were published in the New York Journal from October 1787 to April 1788 by Robert Yates.

Junius (Marcus Junius Brutus Caepio, 85 BC – 42 BC) was, of course, the protégé who helped to kill Caesar and was a symbol of resistance to strong centralized power.
George Brown was a strong supporter of Representation by Population and helped found the Anti Slavery Society in Canada after the Fugitive Slave Act was passed by the US Congress in 1850.Ironically, he was shot in 1880 in his office at The Globe by a disgruntled employee, who had recently been fired, a year earlier than Czar Alexander II of Russia.
