Early life
Bernard Lord was born in Quebec and raised in a bilingual household in Moncton, New Brunswick where he would spend the rest of his early life. Lord's brother would go on to be internationally acclaimed concert pianist, Roger Lord. Bernard Lord took a keen interest in politics as a child; he first campaigned for the New Brunswick New Democratic Party while a university student but later joined the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick. After graduating from high school, he earned a bachelor's degree in social science with a major in economics as well as a bachelor's degree in common law from the Université de Moncton. While Lord attended the Université de Moncton, he had some electoral success being elected the president of UdeM's student union. Moncton (46°6′ N 64°46′ W) is the second largest city in the Canadian province of New Brunswick and is at the heart of the fastest growing urban area in the province. ...

Election as leader In 1997, Lord went on to became leader of the PC Party of New Brunswick and then became the Member of the Legislative Assembly for the district of Moncton East in a 1998 by-election. Much of Lord's success came from the countless months he spent meeting party members across New Brunswick and in part because he was also flawlessly bilingual and being able to draw a strong concentration of support in the Moncton-area, one of four cities in which members could vote. Lord defeated Norm Betts, who was the perceived frontrunner, as well as Margaret-Ann Blaney, who, with Betts, would go on to serve in Lord's cabinet. 1997 (MCMXCVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Premier On June 7, 1999, Lord's PC party overcame an early deficit in the polls to pull out a landslide victory on the provincial general election, winning 44 of 55 seats in the legislature.

Using the successful tactics from the 1994 United States elections of Republican Congressional leader, Newt Gingrich, Bernard Lord was elected on his "200 Days of Change" platform, consisting of 20 promises of things he would do within the first 200 days of his mandate if he were elected premier. Although he did accomplish all of them, many opponents of Lord argued with him over the ways he accomplished those goals. History will show that one of Lord's greatest strengths was setting a small number of large priorities and accomplishing each and every goal. Whether it was his 200 Days of Change, or his 5 in 5 initiative, Lord's vision was always towards the future. 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated as the International Year of the Family and the International Year of the Sport and the Olympic Ideal by United Nations. ...

In 2002, Lord delivered what the media and others hailed as an electrifying speech at the national Progressive Conservative Party of Canada convention in Edmonton, Alberta, which started speculation that he might run for a job in federal politics, specifically, replacing Joe Clark as federal PC leader.

A very strong movement of influential conservatives erupted after Edmonton to lobby the Premier into federal politics, everything from a website to a coast to coast organization[1] was being set up to woo the Premier to leave Fredericton and head to Ottawa. .[2]
A short time later, Lord shot down any notions that that might happen, choosing instead to remain focused on provincial politics and the 2003 New Brunswick election. Results of the 2003 election Starting out as a predicted landslide for Bernard Lords Progressive Conservatives, the New Brunswick general election, 2003 quickly turned around when Shawn Graham, leader of the Liberal Party of New Brunswick, took on auto insurance rates as a cause. ...
That election was not kind to Lord, the issue of rising car insurance fuelled by Liberal fear tactics caught the PC Party off guard.

In 2004, Lord's government came under fire over a variety of unpopular stances, most notably changes to health care. These included closures of beds at hospitals in Miramichi and Dalhousie, and consolidation of four hospitals in the Upper St. John River Valley into one. The Liberals, under leader Shawn Graham, led in public opinion polls as of the summer of 2004 and maintained that lead; however, Bernard Lord remained the most favoured Leader to be Premier of New Brunswick for a time. 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Much fun has been made of the fact that his last name is "Lord". The policy of referring to political figures by their last names has led people to infer a connection with God, who is also known as Lord. In one instance, a banner in a polling station reading "Trust in the Lord" had the last word covered with black tape so that it would not influence voting. This article discusses the term God in the context of monotheism and henotheism. ...
On Thursday, August 10 2006, Bernard Lord announced that on August 19 he would be calling an election for Monday, September 18. This election call was in response to the loss of a caucus member, Peter Mesheau, who announced his intention to resign to work in the private sector. The resignation would have caused Lord to slip into a minority government and the subsequent by-election could have flipped the balance of power to the Liberals. Always looking towards the future, Lord decided that instead of a by-election deciding the fate of his government, he would let the people choose. Some observers saw Lord's election call as a bold move considering his popularity numbers had only recently started to surpass the Liberal Leader. This move was very indicative of Lord's leadership style however, always focused on balance, Lord also never lost track of the democratic systems that elected him to the Premiers Office.
