Overview1922 biography. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, GCMG, PC, KC, baptized Henri-Charles-Wilfrid Laurier (1841-1919) was the seventh Prime Minister of Canada from July 11, 1896, to October 5, 1911. Canada's first francophone prime minister, Laurier is often considered one of the country's greatest statesmen. He is well known for his policies of conciliation, expanding Confederation, and compromise between French and English Canada. His vision for Canada was a land of individual liberty and decentralised federalism. He also argued for an English-French partnership in Canada. I have had before me as a pillar of fire, he said, a policy of true Canadianism, of moderation, of reconciliation. And he passionately defended individual liberty, Canada is free and freedom is its nationality, and Nothing will prevent me from continuing my task of preserving at all cost our civil liberty. Laurier was also well regarded for his efforts to establish Canada as an autonomous country within the British Empire.
