The Day of Sir Wilfrid Laurier

A look at an important period of Canadian history, one that sadly gets often overlooked (I know my own scholastic looks at Canadian history jumped from “Voyageurs” to “Confederation” and then skipped right ahead to “Vimy Ridge” as if nothing worthwhile had happened in between).

As much as 1867 was the year Canada became a country, the era that Laurier oversaw is equally important to our concept of nationhood, so it was very interesting to see that presented from a source not that far removed from the material.
