Arthur-Joseph Lapointe (Canadian politician) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come David Ouellet and Joseph-Alphonse Pelletier.
How many famous people were born in Saint-Ulric?

What is Saint-Ulric known for?
That is 67% of the town’s list, against 22% across Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Saint-Ulric?
The earliest is Arthur-Joseph Lapointe, born in 1895, and the latest birth listed is 1908.
Who counts as from Saint-Ulric?
Wikidata’s record must put the birth inside Saint-Ulric’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision) or one of its hospitals or districts, and an English or French Wikipedia article must agree. The list leaves out adult performers, people known mainly for crimes and anyone born elsewhere.
Why is someone missing?
Often Wikidata names only Canada or a province as the birthplace, or a rural area, a hamlet or another town; sometimes the Wikipedia article names somewhere else, or nowhere. A person appears here once both agree, so a correction on either site reaches this page at the next refresh.
Birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations and the count of Wikipedia and sister-site articles come from Wikidata (CC0). Each birthplace is checked against the person’s English Wikipedia article, or the French one where English says nothing or has no article; the articles are linked, never quoted. Wikidata’s Statistics Canada code, the place’s name or its point inside the 2021 census outline puts a birth in a town, and a birth given only as a split city stays on that city’s page. Fields are read from the description and occupations, and the list runs by number of articles. “The usual town” is everyone listed across Canadian towns.
