Quebec Province of Canada

Quebec is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario and the bodies of water James Bay and Hudson Bay; to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay; to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador; and to the south by the province of New Brunswick and the U.S. states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia. Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is historically and politically considered to be part of Central Canada.

Bagot was a former provincial electoral district in the Estrie region of Quebec, Canada. It elected members to the National Assembly of Quebec.

The Legislative Assembly of Quebec was the name of the lower house of Quebec's legislature until December 31, 1968, when it was renamed the National Assembly of Quebec. At the same time, the upper house of the legislature, the Legislative Council, was abolished. Both were initially created by the Constitutional Act of 1791.

He was born in Acton Vale, Canada East, the son of Frank McDonald and Kate Mercure, and was educated in Roxton. McDonald was mayor of Acton Vale and warden for Bagot County. McDonald also was president of the Société d'industrie laitière de la province de Québec and was a member of the Agriculture Council for Quebec from 1893 to 1896. He served as a major in an infantry battalion. McDonald was married three times: first to Joséphine Martin, then to Marie-Louise-Mathilde-Atala Leclerc in 1877 and then to Valérie Desjardins. He died in Montreal at the age of 68.

The new colony, known as the Province of Canada was created by the Act of Union 1840 passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, having effect in 1841. For administrative purposes, the new Province was subdivided into Canada West and Canada East. The former name of "Lower Canada" came back into official use in 1849, and as of the Canadian Confederation of 1867, it formed the newly created province of Quebec.
