Jacques Labrie

Jacques Labrie (January 4, 1784 – October 26, 1831) was a physician and political figure in Lower Canada.

He was born at Saint-Charles in 1784, the son of farmer Jacques Nau, dit Labry, and studied at the Petit Séminaire de Québec.

He studied medicine with François Blanchet and completed his medical training at Edinburgh in Scotland.

In 1827, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada for York, as a supporter of the parti patriote.

Labrie had written but not completed a history of Canada, which was deposited for safe-keeping in the library of Jean-Joseph Girouard.
