Throne Speech: Watershed Moment

Course Focus Dept: In a triumphal speech Friday night to more than 2,200 delegates gathered for the Conservative Party s national convention, Harper said the election of the first majority Conservative government in 23 years is a watershed moment, not to be taken for granted, according to The Star. Harper s keynote address recapped the no surprises theme of the Throne Speech and budget just tabled, stressing the party must still earn the public trust and oTTAWA Prime Minister Stephen Harper basked in the glory of a majority electoral win, telling party faithful that when the honeymoon with the NDP passes, his stay-the-course focus on the economy and the military will entrench the Conservatives as Canada s party. One step at a time, we are moving Canada in a Conservative direction and Canadians are moving with us, Harper said in a giant hall at Ottawa s sparkling new Convention Centre. As reported in the news.
