Halifax Family

The Halifax Family is a prominent political family in the North American Federation. It has produced one Prime Minister of Canada, one President of the United States, and two Presidents and one Prime Minister of the North American Federation.

Blair Halifax

Blair Halifax was the 48th President of the United States of America from 2041 to 2045, and the 1st President of the North American Federation from 2045 to 2055. Prior to the uniting of North America, she was a citizen of both the United States and Canada. She played a pivotal role in the formation of the NAF, and was its longest-serving President.

Blair was born in 2004 in Trenton, New Jersey. Her mother was an American and her father was a Canadian immigrant, so she was a citizen of both countries. She became interested in left-wing politics during the Presidency of Bernie Sanders, and started working in local politics.

She ran for President in 2040, at the age of 35, and won by a large margin. She was the only dual citizen, as well as the second woman and second person from New Jersey, to hold the office of President of the United States. Blair was a supporter of strengthening connections with the Republic of Canada, signing the Mutual Voting Rights Agreement in 2041, which allowed citizens of the United States living in Canada to vote in Canadian elections, and vice versa. This agreement was

Blair ran for reelection in 2044, pledging to continue integration with Canada, and she managed to win another term. On 5 October 2045, she and Prime Minister Carrol signed the North American Federation Acts, merging the United States of America and the Republic of Canada. She then became acting President of North America, and new elections were scheduled for November 2046.

Blair ran for President of North America in 2046, sparking debates about whether the 22nd Amendment should prevent her from seeking a third term. In a controversial Supreme Court decision, it was decided that the Presidency of the United States and the Presidency of North America were two different offices, and that Blair was eligible to serve two full terms in the future. She went on to win the election, affirming public support for the decision.

Blair again ran for reelection in 2050 and won.

At the age of 68, Blair died in her New Jersey home in 2072.

Bradley Carrol

Bradley Carrol was the 26th Prime Minister of Canada from 2034 to 2045 and the 1st Prime Minister of the North American Federation from 2045 to 2046. He was a cousin of Blair Halifax, and was an important player in the abolition of the Canadian Monarchy and the uniting of North America.

Bradley was born in 1999 in Ontario to two Canadian parents. His mother was a member of the Halifax family, and her brother was Blair Halifax's father.

Bradley ran for Parliament in 2030, winning a seat. His rhetorical skills allowed him to rise quickly in the Liberal Party, and after the 2034 Parliamentary Election, he was elected Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Canada in a coalition with the New Democratic Party.

During the February 2038 Election, Bradley helped expand the Liberal Party's support, winning an outright majority in Parliament. Following the death of King Henry I and the ascension of Archie I, he again called for elections in June. He capitalized on republican sentiments and the unpopularity of the new king to win a supermajority in the June 2038 Election, and subsequently abolished the monarchy and created the Republic of Canada. He also signed the Mutual Voting Rights Agreement during this term.

Bradley ran for Parliament again in the 2042 Election, promising to work with President Blair Halifax on continued integration between the United States and Canada. The Liberal Party lost its supermajority, but maintained a majority in Parliament and allowed him to continue as Prime Minister. In 2045, he signed the North American Federalization Acts with President Halifax, and became the acting Prime Minister of North America.

Following the 2046 Federal Elections, Bradley intended to continue serving as Prime Minister. However, the Social Democrat and Liberal Parties, which intended to form a coalition together, failed to win a combined majority in Parliament. Although he maintained his seat, he decided to resign his leadership of the Liberal Party and retire from politics. He died in 2070 at the age of 70.

Yusef Halifax

Yusef Halifax was President of the North American Federation from 2110 to 2118. He ran on the promise of ending the Martian Revolutions, and upon his inauguration, he announced that North America no longer intended to reconquer its colonies. During his administration, he normalized relations with the Empire of Mars. He was the great nephew of Blair Halifax by her younger brother.
