Sir Wilfrid Laurier (Prime Ministers of Canada Series #7)
Sir Wilfrid Laurier was too English for the French, and too French for the English. But if you like new provinces, tin pot navies and secret babies, he might be perfect for you.
Video #7 in our Prime Ministers of Canada series.

Emelie Barthe was Laurier's business partner Joseph Lavergne's wife. My great great grandfather Olivier Beauchesne worked for Laurier's law firm 'Laurier, Lavergne & Coté' when all this stuff went down in Arthabaskaville (Victoriaville), Quebec back in the 1880's.
Laurier's accent it this video is funny but in reality, because he grew up in New Glasgow, QC, he spoke English with a Scottish accent. He could pass as a British with a French surname like an Anglo-norman or a Huguenot descendant and that explain a lot of his successes.
Can we get any more of this splendid series starting with Arthur Meighen?
John A. Maconald certainly did not order Riel to be executed! Macdonald refused to commute the death sentence, which is a very different big distinction.
My 6th cousin Laurier.
Thanks you, this helped alot with my project
Thank you
He sent more than 7000 volunteers but payed and supplied 1000 of them.
He moved so many Aboriginals out to designed as reserves to make sure they were out of the sight of French and English people. Chinese immigrants were harshly restricted eventually banned from coming to Canada.

Bro that is honestly so funny that I might even laugh 😐
We have a moral duty not to comply. No to discriminatory vaccine passports and mandates, it is an utter disgrace. This must not happen England. Will never vote Labour or Tory again. Disgraceful Canada.
