About this film

LibriVox recording of Chronicles of Canada Volume 30 - The Day of Sir Wilfrid Laurier: A Chronicle of Our Own Time by Oscar D. Skelton. Read in English by Scott Foster; Bruce Pirie; Ian Hutchings; Maria Kasper In conformity with its title, this volume, save for the earlier chapters, is history rather than biography, is of the day , more than of the man. The aim has been to review the more significant events and tendencies in the recent political life of Canada. (from the Preface) Sir Wilfrid Laurier (1841-1919) was a member of parliament for 45 years (1874-1919) and Prime Minister of Canada from 1896 to 1911. He was Canada's first French-speaking prime minister and did much to reconcile English and French Canada.
