Robert Baldwin Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine and John A. Macdonald Wilfrid Laurier

William Lyon Mackenzie King: Canada three greatest visionary leaders – Samuel de Champlain, John A. Macdonald and Wilfrid Laurier – each combined vision, practical boldness and an ability to work and get along with a wide range of diverse people, according to Globe and Mail. Two other politicians, Robert Baldwin and Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine, showed that political and social reform could be achieved by non-violent means. In this way, it has been a great country unlike any other in history. William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada longest-serving prime minister, was the skillful consolidator of their achievements. Today all these leaders would recognize that many of their visions are embedded in the fabric of modern Canada. Consolidation can be as vital as initiation, although it requires a different type of vision, boldness and patience. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
