Before George-Etienne Cartier became a Father of Confederation, he was a important figure in the politics of Canada East as a leader of the Parti Bleu. Born in 1814 in Quebec, Canada, George-Etienne Cartier entered into politics in 1848 where he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada. He lived out a long career and took part in promoting the Civil Code and the primary education in the province along with other accomplishments such as the making of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada and then working with the co-premier where they took major steps in the movement towards Confederation.
At the age of 57, George Etienne Cartier was diagnosed with a kidney disease and in 1872, he traveled to London to...
... find a cure for his sickness. He continued to get sicker and died in May of 1873. In his memory, on the grounds of the Legislative Building in the City of Winnipeg, Manitoba, a bust was made and placed upon a large stone base where remembrance words were written.
