	Departmental History
		Robert Borden was born in the bucolic atmosphere of Grand Pré, Nova Scotia, in 1854.
		Borden moved quickly to implement his naval policy, though he was eventually unable to carry it out in the face of a determined and bitter Liberal opposition.
		Borden saw this as the answer to his calls for consultation, but not as the harbinger of a centralized empire; while each Dominion now properly had a voice, he asserted, "each preserves unimpaired its perfect autonomy, its self-government, and the responsibility of its Ministers to their own electorate."

	Robert Laird Borden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His father Andrew Borden was judged by his son to be "a man of good ability and excellent judgement", of a "calm, contemplative and philosophical" turn of mind, but "He lacked energy and had no great aptitude for affairs".
		In world affairs, Borden played a crucial role in transforming the British Empire into a partnership of equal states, the Commonwealth of Nations, a term that was first discussed at an Imperial Conference in London during the war.
		Not only did Borden's persistence allow him to represent Canada in Paris as a nation, it also ensured that each of the dominions could sign the Treaty of Versailles in its own right, and receive a separate membership in the League of Nations.

		Robert was born in 1854 and was followed by a brother, John William, a sister, Julia Rebecca, and another brother, Henry Clifford, born in 1870.
		Borden, who spoke competent French, was frequently impatient with his lieutenant and failed to grasp the significance of French Canadians' views on national issues that threatened their sense of identity.
		Borden's view that intervention was unconstitutional was sound, but his insensitivity to French Canadians' concerns and to the pleas of his Quebec colleagues, and his adamant refusal to intervene with the Conservative government in Toronto, all but eroded what limited support his government had in Quebec.
