Stephen Harper - Canadian Prime Minister

Stephen Harper, canada’s prime minister started out his political career as executive assistant to the progressive conservative MP John Hawkes. This position led to his role as the chief policy officer for the reform party. This knowledge, along with his next role as the legislative assistant to the reform party’s first MP, Deborah Gray, and his first election to the house of commons as the reform party’s MP for Calgary west, led him through the chain of command, climbing his way to canadian prime minister.

This very substantial position gave Stephen Harper the responsibility of advising canada’s finance and national unity policy. In 1997 he chose to take a five year break from politics, and then returned to claim the title of the leader of the canadian alliance party in 2002. The same year he was elected to the house of commons in Calgary. In December of 2003, he unified the alliance and the progressive conservative parties to become known as the conservative party.

Stephen Harper resigned as the leader of the canadian alliance, and took on the task of running for the leader of the new conservative party of canada the following year. In February of 2006, he was sworn in as the canadian prime minister. He is striving to maintain an independent and united country, and has proven himself to be a canadian prime minister for the people, and has been named as an honorary member of the International Raoul Wallenberg foundation. Stephen Harper’s goals in office are to lower taxes for the middle working class, and to reform the judicial system.

As a Toronto native, Stephen Harper is a canadian prime minister who understands the needs of the people, as he was once a working class citizen in the petroleum industry. He is a doctorate alumni student at the University of Calgary, and this hard-earned education supports his extensive political experience. He was named the president of the National Citizens Coalition, and he holds the hopes and aspirations of the Canadian nation in the highest regard.
