Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Someone should forward this video to the current PM to point how how to act… and dress Prime Ministerial.
May God bless Stephen Harper!
Thank you. For once I can agree with Lance.
Back to reality:
Go! Esks. Go!
Right on! Prime Minister Harper. The very best man to serve our wonderful country. We give you thanks for your efforts and wish the very best in your future endeavours.
Best Prime Minister we ever had. Not perfect, he had his faults, made mistakes, but through all that he did a great job taking care of the important tasks of steering us through tough economic times, acted with dignity, as he represented us around the globe.
Thank you Stephen Harper for a job well done.
He served our country well, now onward to represent us on the international stage, behind the scenes, with dignity and class.
God Speed, Mr. Harper.
I am sorry, but you were elected for a term and you knew that term going in and you should finish it off. If he had won the election, he wouldn’t be resigning. I am sorry, but I am sick and tired of elected officials bailing on their duty when they knew going in what was expected. There are valid reasons for resigning early (medical is one), but going into private sector is not. All politicians should have to finish their terms or face losing pensions and such.
Yes you served this country well, and led a superior government to what we had before and after, but you need to stand by your commitments.
Trudope worshiper, are you Rob?
Hopefully 3 years from now we get to suffer through one final stilted but similar speech.
Thank you to Ahh, Montreal and Ahh, Canadians for having Ahh, given me the Ahh, honour of serving the Ahh, best county Ahh, in the world.
Part-time Drama teacher is your only previous ‘job’ and you still cannot deliver a line.
Jeez Rob, tell us how you really feel.
Maybe being sick to your gut with disgust at what 39% of the voters have tossed up,might be classed as a medical reason to quit.
Certainly Turdeau II makes me feel sick and I am thousands of miles away from it.
Toss in 18 years of Harper Derangement Syndrome from our intellectual Twats and Presstitutes then the leadership struggle going on in the new Progressive Conservative Party….
Harper has to leave nowThe Conservatives need an unchallenged leader,at speed and ready before the next election.
Harper is a class act.
Is there anything of Reform left?
My disappointment in Harper and the CPC party extends beyond those quitting during term. Their responsibility was to craft a party that had an ability to transmit conservative philosophy and values to the Canadian people in a sustainable way. IMO they failed.
Baird, Moore and Mackay at least stated they would not stand again. Harper and Kenney are quitting after the fact. Joe Oliver was defeated and Tony Clement is running for leadership. No one else stands out to me. The CPC today does not accept responsibility for the election loss and is not changing its approach. They became the same ‘top down’ party that they replaced in the PC party. Reform fundamentals were abandoned when the party moved east.
This party of free enterprise would never have received my investment based on their ability to run an organization. They gutted their grass roots represented by the riding associations and took their ‘customers’ for granted.
How can conservatives feel anything but used by this party when the leadership takes leave without much more than a thanks and seeya. I question the depth of thought that has gone on here.
My comments are from a ‘conservative’ voter and member of 42 years. I no longer work or donate to the party. Things will not change until Turdeau breaks the country.
Thank you Mr. Harper for keeping the madness out of Canada for a time.
Stephen Harper was and still is a class act. I miss him and believe he was the best most principled prime minister this country has seen in a long while. I wish him all the best and am pleased he doesn’t have to endure the ferocious nasty criticism from our biased media anymore. Turdeau is an idiot in comparison and I am not proud to say I’m Canadian anymore. Notice how Turdeau isn’t talked about much on the international stage…he has nothing worthwhile to say and listen to and leaders of other countries know this except those that want money from Canada. Good luck and God bless Stephen Harper for a job well done.
I concur. Mr. Harper is/was probably the best PM Canadian ever had. It will be a few years before the real impact of his tenure will be felt. Maybe sooner if Trudeau II keeps going the way he is.
Thank you, Mr. Harper.
In my opinion the Party was hijacked. I worked closely with many MPs, attended the unite the right dinner and worked hard at the local level.
The BS about the Senate was the tipping point for me. The globalist faction outflanked the grass roots and continues to thrive under the Liberals. I still have great respect for many who serve and understand their commitment to the broader principles, but until they purge the party (and the PCO) of the CFR types there is no hope.
Stephen Harper was and still is a class act.
This American’s thoughts exactly.
Harper was the very best Canadian Prime Minister ever ….
we are lost without him …
When does he remove his coat, shirt and tie to show us his nipples ??
Oh Sorry-
It said PM, I thought it was his Majesty’s court fng jester/idiot..
Amen Liz…
Best PM ever. I hope he comes back some day (He’s only 57, Trump is 69 as an example) when this sleeping but soon to awaken Country truly deserves an honest Conservative leader…
…Now, I’m back at hating the CBC, CTV, TO Star, Globe and mail etc., who never were subjective and fair towards the Right Honorable Stephen Harper. All the years he did great work our MSM were attacking him almost as viciously as they are on Trump right now. Truly shameful and unpatriotic to a man backed by a majority electorate.
Harper hates the UN. I believe he was anti Globalism and more Nationalist thus he was truly ahead of his time.

Lining up at the Air Canada counter every couple of days must be a humbling experience when you’re used to private jets.
I think his resignation might be the best thing he can do for the CPC. If he stayed in the house the leftoids at the CBC will insinuate that the new leader of the CPC is his puppet.
The other day on the CBC they were praising Trudope for attending the Tragically Hip farewell concert and slamming Harper because he wouldn’t have attended and if he had attended he wouldn’t have fit in.
I just hope the next book he writes is about a winning hockey team.

Good riddance. Don’t let bill C-68 or the CBC slam your sorry quisling ass on the way out, asshole.
You know what they say…”Those who can do and those who can’t teach.”
Harper is a globalist, that’s why he helped hand Libya to ISIS, and supported Soros’ coup in the Ukraine.
Truly an end of an era. The best PM in this country’s history now replaced by an intellectual midget.
Just wait for the proportional representation to assure that we never be free people again.
LMAO….oh Lord, that just cracked me up. Seriously, if you knew me, those words would not have come out of your mouth. I just am sick and tired of politicians of ALL parties not fullfilling their commitment to the people. If they plan on quiting, let it be known during the nomination process and step aside, otherwise you are making a contract with the people to represent them.
Thank you for your service to the Country,Mr.Harper. I suppose you did the best you were capable of,given the opposition in this progressive Country, including the progressive wing of your own Party.
Your timidity in the last two years of your mandate quite frankly po’d many of us, as you left too much undone.
But thank you for your efforts,it’s going to be a long 12 years living under your successor.
As a long time CPC PC canvasser I am deeply disappointed that PM Harper did not use the TV on a regular basis to explain our platform to Canadians. If he had of spent the time to present AGW, muslim immigration, the economy and other critical points I am sure the value would have been critical to our re-election of the CPC. I am reflecting what my MP and other CPC stalwarts have told me.
He is getting out while the getting is good.
This way Trudeau – or whoever is running this place into the ground – can own the mess.
Harper finished off with some class.
YeahWell, do shut up. Consider what will happen to your precious firearms now.
Libtards, cucks, we’re the dupes, there is only really one party, you can vote any way you want, your still getting the same
polices.
This is “Democracy”, pick whatever colour you like, the politcial vending machine only stocks Crush and that’s what your getting everytime.
Whether you like it or not
“If voting made any ifference they wouldn’t let us do it.”
Mark Twain (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910)
Sooke, I’ve worked on the VIP jets of 412 Squadron based in Ottawa since 1994. Harper used the Challengers less than the Liberals before and after him and I can access the logbooks to prove it. We installed an avionics suite called Office-in-the-sky so he could work while flying. The flight crews respect him a lot more than they do other passengers and tell me that every time they went through the cabin to use the lav he was at work. He was always polite, never complained about the meal, bitched about safety briefings or delays or insisted on having a particular brand of bottled water or booze. In short, he’s a model passenger.
By the way, the RCMP security detail insists that the PM and GG fly on RCAF jets for security reasons. Even in our secure hangar where everyone has a security clearance the planes are swept for bombs.

We voted Harper in to protect my rights. He failed utterly to do so.
So, you can shut up with your fawning over your favourite globalist quisling, toots.
Wow, RobP above said that Harper served the country well, and led a superior government to what we had before and after. BUT, RobP gets called a Trudeau lover because DARED to say that Harper should finish his term he was elected to and not act like a typical politician taking his ball home when he didn’t win the big prize. Partisans are the bane of politics. Don’t dare say a word against my guy, it’s always the other guy that is wrong. Utterly laughable, It’s politicians vs the people. I group all politicians together and measure each one against my ideals. Party lines should mean nothing. The only (c)onservatives we have in this country are some of the citizens. As soon as these politicians get to Ottawa they become (C)onservatives. The ideals that are typically attributed to the “left” side of the political spectrum are allowed to run amok and over time destroy the host like a cancer. Here in Canada the elected “right” are limp noodles barley right of center some of the time. But then Canada started off wrong from the beginning staying British while the Americans did what was needed kicked them out and formed their own country.
And now in America we see over time what the snakes can do to a country when the citizens get soft. The citizens of America should have rose up many years ago but they have been allowing “leftwing” and “rightwing” politicians to continue putting in “leftist” and “rightwing” policies. Meanwhile the (c)onservative citizens put in their supposedly conservative politicians to correct the absolute trash recently and guess what, the “right” is the same as the “left” and the US is screwed. There aren’t enough citizens of a 1775 mindset in America anymore. And there never was any in Canada.
Harper = GWB.
What Canada needed (and needs) is a Trump.
Boy, do I ever miss Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
God bless you, sir!
So nice to see someone else who is not a fawning establishment sycophant.
I remember seeing Harper on American TV when in the US once, and someone said “That’s your prime minister? Geez, he seems smart!”. Harper was conversing with the host naturally and easily, in a way that he was rarely able to do in Canada because of the instant negative coverage no matter what he said. Remember “did he eat the cracker?”.
He made mistakes, no doubt. When I’m perfect, I’ll castigate him for it. However, in my life time of 60 years, he’s been by far the best, least corrupt, most humble, and most accomplished PM.
If Harper is an example of “…and most accomplished PM. “, then we may as well give up all hope. He did nothing to reverse the trend set by Turd 1. I fear we will have to put up with muzzies and/or BLM types burning a few cities before we wake up.
“… he’s a model passenger.”
Al, you misinterpreted my comment.
I like Harper. My point was that going back to business class after being PM for almost 10 years must be a hard sword to swallow, especially when you occasionally have to deal with yahoos at the airport telling you what a shitty PM you were.
You mean Canada needs someone who fails against a most unelectable opponent? Maybe you should try to recruit Tim Hudak into federal politics?
So when Harper was in power and fought against the opposition, leftists in his won party, judiciary, media, big labour, what have you done to help him? Let me guess: every time he incrementally* advanced the conservative cause, it was never enough, you sat on your a$$, banged your sippy cup against your high chair and demanded that he does more and you have cried every time he failed to deliver exactly what you wanted.
Well enjoy his replacement now, and rest assured that once the Libranos are done with the electoral reform, you will never have to worry about Harper again, as you will never have a right of center government in this country again. Welcome to EU like state in the short run, and Venezuela (but with more jihad) in the long run.
*incrementally that is how the left does it and they are successful.
The tenor of these comments brings to light what is wrong with us.
Harper this and Harper that.
One man without vocal,orchestrated public support for practical policies and fiscal responsibility…
Stephen is just a man.
Who we abandoned to the parasites.
We are fat and lazy,unwilling to riot.
All hoping someone else will do something about the social decay we can all see and feel, but not willing to surrender the time and energy to prevent the fall.
However, I cannot cure stupid and there seems to be no way to reach our fellow citizens short of social collapse.
Zimbabwe Mon.
This is our future, enjoy the government pension of a gazzillion canuk dollars, which will not buy a loaf of bread.
Enjoy the Idiocine.
What point is there in government, that is the breaker of law and disruptor of order?
Hew had a majority, party whips, etc. he failed to use them. Period.All your comment did was to underline Harper’s failure to deal with the left.
Well done.

I love Harper because His foreign policy decisions include “whipping out” F-18s and sending troops and materiel to help ISIS/Al-Qeada/jihadists beat Ghadaffi and Assad, and doubling Muzz immigration into Canada.
What’s your jihad?
How globalist do you think PM Trulander is?
Are your firearms any safer?
If you want perfection, go to Shangri-La. Otherwise, suck it up.
Canada doesn’t need Trump or anyone like him. We already have a poor showman and it sucks. Canada needs a statesman. The closest thing was the imperfect Harper.
One would think his absence and Trudeau’s creepy attention-getting would make the heart grow fonder.
Go cry in your beer now.
Based upon your many comments above, you should seriously consider treatment for that spectacular personality disorder.
LOL.
So, “Less golbalist than the turd” is your criterion for greatness, is it? No wonder Canada has gone down the tubes. Are you in your 20’s? I remember when you could get on a bus with a lit smoke in yer mouth, and a rifle slung over your shoulder. You, no doubt, have no comparison to make, being a millenial, or at best, a clueless gen Xer.
merci stephen.

Way to win a debate, with an Ad-Hominem argument. Next time, might I suggest the “tu quoque” that’s so popular here?
