John A.: Birth of a Country (2011) TV Movie

The time period: 1856 to 1864. The United States coveted the land. Britain was not prepared to fight. Two men battle to dominate the shape of Canada's future: John A. Macdonald - the charismatic leader of the Conservative Party - and his opponent, the fiercely determined George Brown, leader of what would become the Liberal Party. Both were riled into action by dramatically different visions for their country and a deep hatred for each other. (Amazon.ca)
