Why is Sir Robert Borden on the Canadian $100 Bill?
It’s hardly ‘random’. Sir Robert Borden ensured a separate seat for Canada as a nation in the Treaty of Versailles instead of being folded in with Britain. He was instrumental in transforming the British Empire into a more egalitarian Commonwealth of States. He was also Chancellor of both McGill University and Queen’s University at various times. He established both a unified Canadian Army and the National Research Council.
