He worked as a schoolteacher for a period and then served his <a href="/wiki/Articles_of_clerkship" class="mw-redirect" title="Articles of clerkship">articles of clerkship</a> at a <a href="/wiki/Halifax,_Nova_Scotia" title="Halifax, Nova Scotia">Halifax</a> law firm. He was <a href="/wiki/Called_to_the_bar" class="mw-redirect" title="Called to the bar">called to the bar</a> in 1878 and soon became one of Nova Scotia's most prominent barristers. Borden was elected to the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_Canada" title="House of Commons of Canada">House of Commons</a> in the <a href="/wiki/1896_Canadian_federal_election" title="1896 Canadian federal election">1896 federal election</a>, representing the <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Party_of_Canada_(1867%E2%80%931942)" title="Conservative Party of Canada (1867–1942)">Conservative Party</a>. He replaced <a href="/wiki/Charles_Tupper" title="Charles Tupper">Charles Tupper</a> as party leader in 1901, but was defeated in two federal elections by Liberal Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Wilfrid_Laurier" title="Wilfrid Laurier">Wilfrid Laurier</a> in <a href="/wiki/1904_Canadian_federal_election" title="1904 Canadian federal election">1904</a> and <a href="/wiki/1908_Canadian_federal_election" title="1908 Canadian federal election">1908</a>. However, in the <a href="/wiki/1911_Canadian_federal_election" title="1911 Canadian federal election">1911 federal election</a>, Borden led the Conservatives to victory after he claimed that the Liberals' proposed <a href="/wiki/Reciprocity_(Canadian_politics)" title="Reciprocity (Canadian politics)">trade reciprocity</a> treaty with the United States would lead to the US influencing Canadian identity and weaken ties with Great Britain. Borden's early years as prime minister focused on strengthening relations with Britain. Halfway through his first term, <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> broke out. To send soldiers overseas, he created the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Expeditionary_Force" title="Canadian Expeditionary Force">Canadian Expeditionary Force</a>. He also became significantly interventionist by passing the <a href="/wiki/War_Measures_Act" title="War Measures Act">War Measures Act</a> which gave the government extraordinary powers.

However, at the end of 1914, Britain was not able to lend money to Canada due to their own economic priorities. By 1917, Britain had become unable to pay for wartime shipments from Canada. During the war, Canada drastically increased imports of specialized metals and machinery needed for production of <a href="/wiki/Ammunition" title="Ammunition">ammunition</a> from the United States.<a href="#cite_note-MacleansWW1-17">[17]</a> This led Borden and White to successfully negotiate a $50 million loan in New York City in 1915.<a href="#cite_note-Bordenbio-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> Canada also succeeded in negotiating larger bond issues in New York in 1916 and 1917.

The government introducing wartime savings bonds and raising import tariffs was not enough. In 1915, a <a href="/wiki/Luxury_tax" title="Luxury tax">luxury tax</a> on tobacco and alcohol and taxes on transport tickets, telegrams, money orders, cheques, and patent medicines were introduced. By the end of the war, staple items were taxed. In a politically motivated move in 1916, the government introduced the Business Profits War Tax to address increasing concerns about businesses practising <a href="/wiki/War_profiteering" title="War profiteering">war profiteering</a>.

The tax exempted the first $1,500 of income for single people (unmarried persons and widows and widowers without dependent children); the tax exempted the first $3,000 for everyone else. Single people were taxed at four percent while the tax rate ranged from two to 22 percent for married Canadians with dependents and an annual income over $6,000. Due to its several exemptions, only two to eight percent of Canadians filed tax returns during the early days of the income tax. When the war ended in 1918, $8 million in income tax revenue had been recorded, which was a small fraction of the national net debt of $1.6 billion.
