  Laurier-Biography-First Among Equals
Wilfrid Laurier was born in St. Lin, Quebec in 1841, the son of a farmer.
Laurier was a great admirer of the principles of British liberalism, and felt they offered the means by which Canadians of all ancestries could live in one nation.
Although Laurier had indicated that, in the tradition of former Liberal leaders Alexander Mackenzie and Edward Blake, he did not wish a knighthood, preparations to knight him had already been made.

  Wilfrid Laurier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laurier is the fourth-longest serving Prime Minister of Canada, behind William Lyon Mackenzie King, John A. Macdonald, and Pierre Trudeau.
Laurier was able to build the Liberal Party a base in Quebec, which had been a Conservative stronghold for decades due to the province's social conservatism and the influence of the Catholic Church which distrusted the Liberal's anti-clericalism.
Laurier died on February 17, 1919, and was buried in Notre Dame Cemetery, Ottawa, Ontario.

 Booman Tribune ~ A Progressive Community
Mercier was a seductive speaker, but it was in the style of the classic nineteenth-century nationalist demagogue - great emotional flourishes, a world divided into good and evil where martyrs struggled against opponents who, by virtue of their opposition, were traitors; where the only solution was solidarity.
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.
