Arguably,the Man of the Century,Mikhail Gorbychov.He introduced the reforms to liberalise Russia and paved the way to tear down 'The Iron Curtain'.

Assisted suicide is murder, because you helped someone kill them self, and even helping to kill someone that isn't you is called murder.

Many reasons including his desire to Liberalise trade with the USA. This issue has never had much support outside Quebec. In part due to the number of Canadians whose roots include fighting against the revolution and creation of the USA and forefathers were refugees from that conflict. Others felt that Canada would never be great if it's resources were exported raw to fuel other nations, particularly a growing USA. Canadians have never voted for Free Trade, the majority have been and are today against Free Trade. Having a Free Trade platform has always cost more votes than it gains.

Another reason was Laurier's desire to expand Canada's military and create a Canadian Navy. Even today this costs votes in Quebec with it's deep French roots. Many still feel the lost of the French and Indian war in the mid 1700's and in 1911 made it clear that any increase in the Canadian military was not a good thing for them or their Canada.

Laurier was also up against an alliance that gave voters a clearer choice in Ontario and helped split votes in Quebec.

It would be 77 yrs before Free Trade would again be put before the Canadian voters and once again the majority would vote against it but with very different election results. History continues to play out.
