Why did Bordon not allow conscientious objectors or recent Canadian immigrants from enemy countries to vote un the 1917 election?

Borden did not allow conscientious objectors or recent Canadian immigrants from enemy countries to vote in the 1917 election due to concerns about national security and loyalty during World War I. He believed that those who opposed military service or had ties to enemy nations could pose a threat to the war effort and the integrity of the electoral process. This decision was part of a broader effort to ensure that the electorate was composed of individuals deemed loyal to Canada and its war objectives.
