Stephen Harper becomes the Prime Minister of Canada.

After winning the federal election, Stephen Harper assumed office as Canada's Prime Minister. Harper's Conservative Party secured a minority government, ending over a decade of Liberal rule. Harper's leadership marked a shift towards more conservative policies in Canada, focusing on issues like tax cuts, tough-on-crime measures, and support for the military. Harper's tenure led to various changes in Canadian politics, including shifts in foreign policy towards the Middle East and a more assertive stance on Arctic sovereignty. His government also prioritized economic growth and introduced measures to stimulate the economy during a global recession. Harper's leadership style was characterized by a focus on efficiency and accountability in governance. Despite facing criticism for some policies, Harper's government increased Canada's profile on the world stage through initiatives like hosting the G20 summit and strengthening ties with the United States. Harper's time as Prime Minister came to an end after nearly a decade when his party was defeated in the following election. #StephenHarper #CanadaPrimeMinister #ConservativeParty #CanadianPolitics
