COMMENTARY

Both Men Running Once Worked for Me: Stephen Harper

 

On April 7, 2025, at the largest political rally in Canadian history, former Prime Minister Stephen Harper endorsed Pierre Poilievre over Mark Carney.


"I am the only person who can say that both of the men running to be prime minister once worked for me," he said.[i]


"My choice without hesitation, without equivocation, without a shadow of a doubt, is Pierre Poilievre."


This is significant for two reasons.


First, Stephen Harper makes few public appearances since he left office. That he chose to step into the spotlight before a massive crowd — estimates range from 12,000 to 15,000 — to endorse Pierre Poilievre shows how critical this election is for all Canadians.


Second, Harper is setting the record straight on who really brought Canada through the 2008 financial crisis.


“I have listened, with increasing disbelief, to Mark Carney’s attempts to take credit for things he had little or nothing to do with back then,” Harper said in a letter to Conservative supporters.[ii]


“He has been doing this at the expense of the late Jim Flaherty, among the greatest Finance Ministers in Canada’s history, who sadly is not here to defend his record. But let me be very clear: the hard calls during the 2008-2009 global financial crisis were made by Jim.”

 


The British Experience


Carney’s attempted stolen valour aside, Stephen Harper is not alone in calling Carney out for his mismanagement of a national bank.


Liz Truss, the former British prime minister, treasury secretary, and environment minister worked with Carney while he was Governor of the Bank of England.


“Mark Carney is one of the architects of the disastrous economic policies that have ruined the British economy.”[iii]


“He [Carney] has already demonstrated that he does not have the economic knowledge that's required to actually deliver growth. My advice to the Canadians would be, do not go down the British path. We are now in serious danger of a financial crisis where the British government won't be able to fund its debt.”

 

Notable Quotes


Liz Truss: “I'm hoping for a Pierre Poilievre win.”


John Robson: “Of course he’s enormously talented. The problem is, he [Mark Carney] has all the wrong talents, wrong for making the world a better place and disastrously wrong for making Canada a better place.”[iv]


Stephen Harper: "I believe that the challenge this country faces today from the United States — as real and serious as it is — should not be another excuse for Liberal failure."


Pierre Poilievre: "The only difference between Trudeau and his economic advisor is the fact that Mark Carney is weaker and more out of touch, totally conflicted with millions of dollars invested in things that go against Canada's national interest."[v]

Building on the proven platform of the Mossberg 100 ATR action, the 4x4 features a detachable box magazine, free-floating 24-inch button-rifled fluted barrel, and factory-installed Weaver-style scope bases. In .270 WSM and wrapped in a matte walnut stock, it is a modern classic.


The crisp, creep-free LBA trigger is user-adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds. The skeletonized trigger blade blocks the sear from releasing the striker unless the blade is fully depressed, even at the lightest adjustment setting.


Let's give a big shout-out to an amazing member for the donation of this excellent firearm.

Subject: Non elected Prime Minister


This must be a Liberal masterpiece???  I can’t understand just how we got a new Prime Minister without being elected by the people of Canada. We had a Prime Minister step down from office, then all of a sudden we had a new Prime Minister that the people of Canada did not vote for. He is throwing his weight around as though the people of Canada gave him the right to do what ever he pleases. This new Prime Minister will destroy Canada just like the one that stepped down tried to do. If Canadians don’t stand up to Politicians that are supposed to work for the people that elected them, you can kiss Democracy, Freedom of rights, a safe country to live in, Goodbye. 


Wake Up People.

Subject: Have your say


It’s rather disconcerting that a few of the recent “have your say” are far out of touch with reality. I have to think that there were more coherent letters than one calling for a militia?


Let’s all just realize that for as bad as Trudeau was, we’ll have 4 more years of the Liberals.


If PP couldn’t get his point across then, then there’s no way he’ll win now.


Maybe time for someone with a bit more experience to lead the PCs.
