Counting his Flock: Sir Wilfred Laurier Welcomes New Immigrants to Canada on RMS Empress of Britain, December 1907 This evocative illustration captures a pivotal moment in Canadian history as Sir Wilfred Laurier, the charismatic and visionary Prime Minister of Canada, and his wife Zoé Laurier, warmly greet new immigrants aboard the luxurious RMS Empress of Britain as it docked in Quebec City in December 1907. The Empress of Britain, a flagship of the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company, had sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, bringing thousands of hopeful newcomers to Canada. The image, originally entitled "Counting his Flock," showcases the Prime Minister's unwavering commitment to the growth and prosperity of his nation. With open arms and a welcoming smile, Sir Wilfred Laurier embodies the spirit of inclusivity and opportunity that drew millions of immigrants to Canada in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The immigrants, dressed in their finest attire, gaze back at the Prime Minister with a mixture of excitement, anticipation, and gratitude. The arrival of these new immigrants marked a significant milestone in Canada's development as a multicultural and diverse nation. Under Sir Wilfred Laurier's leadership, Canada experienced a period of remarkable growth, with the population increasing from 5.4 million in 1901 to 8.3 million by 1911. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of Canadian hospitality and the resilience and determination of those who chose to make Canada their new home. As we reflect on this historical moment, we are reminded of the importance of embracing diversity, fostering inclusion, and extending a helping hand to those in need. The image of Sir Wilfred Laurier and the new immigrants on the RMS Empress of Britain stands as a testament to the power of human connection and the indomitable human spirit.
