Reciprocity and Defeat

Another controversy arose regarding Laurier's support of trade reciprocity with the United States. This was opposed by the Conservative Party and by Liberal businessmen, but had strong support of agricultural interests. These controversies led to the victory of Robert Laird Borden and the Conservatives in the election of 1911, which was mostly fought on the issue of reciprocity.
