Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Canada

Conservative Government Dept: Harper addressed hundreds of Conservative supporters in Calgary at his annual Stampede barbeque Saturday evening and touted his party s record since winning a majority government more than a year ago, according to CBC. "Not every one of these measures is popular with everybody, but they are good for Canada, and that's what this is all about. Under our Conservative government, Canada will not slip back the way so many other developed countries are slipping back." Prime Minister Stephen Harper says Canada's economy will continue to stay strong even as other developed countries struggle. He said measures his government has taken, such as expanding trade, cutting subsidies for political parties and streamlining environmental reviews, have put Canada in a much stronger position than other traditional economic powerhouses like the United States, Europe and Japan.
