On This Day In Canadian History....

1868 -Thomas D'Arcy McGee is shot and killed by a Fenian assassin outside his Sparks Street lodging house. McGee was returning late after making a speech in Parliament; he had denounced the Fenians, a militant Irish-American group dedicated to expelling the British from Ireland by force. He is, to date, the only Canadian victim of political assassination at the federal level.

Patrick J. Whelan, a Fenian sympathizer and a Catholic, was accused, tried, convicted, and hanged for the crime. Decades later, his guilt was questioned and some believe that he was a scapegoat for a Protestant plot. Whelan was hanged with an audience of 5,000 people. This was the last public hanging of Canada.
