February 17 - Five Chiefs

Could you lend me a Wilfrid... a fiver?

On the Canadian five dollar bill we have our first French speaking prime minister - Sir Wilfrid Laurier.


Sir Wilfrid died on this day in 1919.


He still holds the record for length of continuous time in office of Prime Minister from 1896 to 1911.

It was also on this day that Chief Geronimo had passed away in 1909.
