Laurier, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, Sir Wilfrid (1841–1919) Canadian statesman, prime minister (1896–1911). Laurier was the first French-Canadian to lead a federal party (the Liberals, 1887–1919). He created a separate Canadian navy in 1909 and signed a reciprocal tariff agreement with the USA in 1911. In opposition, he supported Canadian entry into World War I but, in deference to French-Canadian opinion, opposed conscription and declined to join the coalition government in 1917.
