In several photos of McGee, he doesn't look completely Celtic/Anglo-Saxon. Does anyone know if he had any other ethnicity in him? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.1.19.72 (talk) 20:14, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
"His was the first murder in the newly formed Dominion of Canada's short history".
In a country of 3.5 million people, including both good-sized cities and lawless frontiers, I find it hard to believe that the country's first murder was nine months after the BNA Act. Citation? Demonstah (talk) 00:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
I agree.. it's dubious —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.71.193.218 (talk) 15:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
I removed part of a sentence which claimed that the Fenians were "forerunners for Sinn Féin". Nowhere in the articles Sinn FéinorHistory of Sinn Féin are the Fenians mentioned and no citation for that claim is given in this article.
Please double-check edit. I have no knowledge whatsoever; this piece text was subject of vandalism recently, so I decided to trace its origin, just in case. Staszek Lem (talk) 03:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Moving this list here until someone can figure out some type of inclusion criteria. One way or the other, we shouldn't have a further reading section that's damn near longer than the article itself. GMGtalk 16:00, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Concerning the two categories: "Irish lawyers" and "Canadian lawyers" that have been added to the article. Is it permissible to have a category that relates to something that has no mention in the article? I would have thought that if the subject matter of the category isn't mentioned in the article, then there is no basis for including that category. I've skimmed and searched the article and don't see any mention in the article that McGee was called to the bar in either British North America or Ireland, so I don't see how we can justify having those categories. @Nikkimaria: has provided one source that states he was called to the bar in Lower Canada. If that were included in the article as a reliable source, then yes, we could categorise him as a "Canadian lawyer", but that wouldn't justify calling him an "Irish lawyer".
