Sir Robert Borden, Prime Minister of Canada

  In  Scrapbook 3, Sir Robert Borden’s story started with the Parliament of Canada. The Parliament of Canada added some new sculptures, and Sir Robert Borden’s sculpture was added to the building but in a humorous way. 

  Second, it is about the naval issue. The Scrapbook detailed that Sir Robert Borden believed that all Canadian naval forces should be controlled by the Canadian government instead of Great Britain; he also introduced the Naval Aid Bill, which offered 35 million dollars to build three Dreadnoughts. This bill led to a bitter fight in the Parliament and eventually passed in the House of Commons, but the Senate rejected it. Aside from the navy stuff, Robert Borden also appears to be a supporter of bilingualism. 

  In another scrapbook (Scrapbook3), we found out that Sir Robert Borden had participated in the opening ceremony and gave a speech for a new bilingual library that was built on Rideau Street in 1934. In his speech, he clearly mentioned his gratitude that the library is bilingual and hoped the library could be the new place for government conventions and official meetings.
