Charles Laberge

Charles Laberge (October 21, 1827 – August 3, 1874) was a Quebec lawyer, journalist and political figure.

[1] During his time in school, he helped found the Institut canadien de Montréal.

In 1854, Laberge was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada for Iberville as a member of the parti rouge.

As a loyal Catholic, he was greatly disturbed when the church condemned the Institut canadien de Montréal in 1858.

In 1860, with Félix-Gabriel Marchand, he found the paper Le Franco-Canadien; he also contributed to L'Ordre at Montreal.
