James Wolfe is rightly called the "Father of Canada" for his victory over the Marquis de Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham.

"Bud" is one of the main reasons why the Canadian prairies never turned into the wild wild west. His ability to solve disputes and uphold the law being firm yet fair to all parties is legendary.
