	Wilfrid Laurier - MSN Encarta
		Laurier was an excellent speaker in both French and English, and he bridged the divisions between French-speaking and English-speaking Canadians to build a strong Liberal Party reflecting common national interests.

		A lot of people thought Wilfrid Laurier, a fluently bilingual lawyer from rural Québec, was a bit of a lightweight -- chosen to be Liberal leader in 1887 only to court the French vote.
		It helped, of course, that Laurier was prime minister during a period of great national prosperity and development -- as settlers poured in to the West, new transcontinental railways were built, and resource industries flourished.
		Laurier was a charming, eloquent prime minister, who seemed to be as appropriate a spokesman for the emerging Twentieth Century Canada as Macdonald had been for the new-born nation of the Nineteenth.
