		Sir Wilfrid Laurier (November 20, 1841 - February 17, 1919) was the seventh Prime Minister of Canada from July 11, 1896 to October 7, 1911.
		Laurier, who wanted Canada to move towards stronger ties with the United States (a policy of "continentalism"), was caught between support for military action from English Canada, and a strong opposition from French Canada, which saw the Boer War as a reminder of its own defeat in the Seven Years' War.
		Laurier died on February 17, 1919, and was buried in Notre Dame Cemetery, Ottawa, Ontario.

		Laurier responded through his secretary that he never “adopted” arms, but remembered that Taché had designed some for him and that the drawing was in the Library at Ottawa, presumably the Parliamentary Library.

		Laurier, on the other hand, came at the tragedy of the North West [the failed rebellion; the hanging of Riel] as a crisis of the public good - the greater good that everyone could and should share.
		Laurier waited until the end, then late on the evening of March 16, 1880, he rose to give a speech no one in his own party wanted him to give.
