What was happening in the North-West Territories that led to the creation of two new provinces in 1905?
As you read about the situation in the North-West Territories, it is important to note that Prime Minister Laurier was a strong supporter of minority education rights for the Catholic Francophone schools in the Territories.
Laurier was Canada’s first Francophone prime minister, and he had a vested interest in protecting the Francophone identity in Canada.
The issue of education rights also connects with Manitoba’s entry into Confederation because Manitoba also fought for the right to have separate schools and minority language rights.
