Early Life
Lord was born in Roberval, Quebec and raised in a bilingual household in Moncton, New Brunswick where he would spend the rest of his early life. 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 joined the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick in 1995. 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 the Université de Moncton student union (FEUM) and served for three terms. Lord's parents are named Ralph and Émilie (Morin) Lord. Lord has two children. One of his brothers, Roger Lord, is an internationally acclaimed concert pianist.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
