Unforgettable actions that will always be remembered in honour of Mackenzie King, which made him such a great leader.

I wholeheartedly believe that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is not only the greatest Canadian Prime Minister of all time, but the greatest Canadian to ever live. I believe this statement to be true due to Laurier’s unparalleled ability to truly unite Canadians, despite significant cultural, social, and language barriers, his unique ability to simultaneously embrace Canada’s Anglophone and Francophone heritage, and his penchant for achieving compromises in challenging political situations.
