Who was the first French-Canadian Prime Minister?

  1. John A. Macdonald

  2. Alexander Mackenzie

  3. Robert Borden

  4. Sir Wilfrid Laurier

The correct answer is: Sir Wilfrid Laurier

Wilfrid Laurier was the first French-Canadian Prime Minister for a number of reasons. First, John A. Macdonald, although a founding father of Canada and one of its longest serving Prime Ministers, was actually born in Scotland. Additionally, Alexander Mackenzie, while of Scottish descent, was raised in Scotland and only immigrated to Canada as an adult, and therefore wouldn't be considered French-Canadian. Lastly, Robert Borden also had Scottish ancestry and was born in Canada, but didn't identify as French-Canadian. Therefore, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who was born in Saint-Lin, Quebec and identified as French-Canadian, is the correct answer.
