Sir Robert Laird Borden, PC, GCMG, KC (June 26, 1854 – June 10, 1937) was a Canadian lawyer and politician. He served as the eighth Prime Minister of Canada from October 10, 1911, to July 10, 1920, and was the third Nova Scotian to hold this office. After retiring from public life, he served as the chancellor of Queen's University. During his term, Borden was instrumental in promoting Canada's status as a nation in and of itself, rather than a subject of the British Empire. Canada's important role in World War I gave him a strong position from which to work.
