please helppp How did George Etienna Cartier help canada become a country|||Sir George-脡tienne Cartier helped form the Great Coalition consisting of three separate political parties that persisted up to the time of Confederation..
"From 1857 to 1862 he served alongside John A. Macdonald as co-premier of the united province. Cartier was a loyal friend of Macdonald, with whom he created the Great Coalition with George Brown in 1864. The purpose of the Great Coalition was to end the political instability in the province, which had six governments in as many years."
"The Great Coalition was a grand coalition of political parties that formed in the Provinces of Canada in 1864. The previous collapsed after only a coalition government formed by 脡tienne-Paschal Tach茅 and Conservative John A. Macdonald (the sixth government in six years) had demonstrated that continued governance of Canada East and Canada West under the 1840 Act of Union had become untenable. In order to reform the political system, a coalition was formed between the Clear Grits under George Brown, the Parti bleu under George-脡tienne Cartier, and the Liberal-Conservatives under John A. Macdonald. The formation of this coalition on 1 June 1863 under 脡tienne-Paschal Tach茅 and John A. Macdonald as the Province of Canada led directly to Canadian Confederation in 1867, and the coalition persisted as the government of the Province of Canada until the moment of Confederation."
