Party Leader: Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Prime Minister Stephen Harper: CALGARY Prime Minister Stephen Harper struck out against a trio of defiant senators, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, and the elites who have tried to stand in his way, in a sharply worded campaign-style speech Friday to the partys rank-and-file, according to The Chronicle Herald. The party leader blamed the courts for standing in the way of Senate reform. He appeared to be referring to a recent Quebec appeal court ruling the Supreme Court of Canada has yet to give its opinion on how to achieve change in the upper chamber and Harpers 45-minute remarks included only a brief reference to the main political headache that has shaken his party since May, the Senate expense scandal. He did not acknowledge the coverup allegation that has kept the controversy in the headlines. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
