Stephen Harper and Negative Sentiment

Globe And Mail: Ibbitson, took leave from his regular gig as Writer at Large for The Globe And Mail in order to pen his Stephen Harper, the most comprehensive biography of the prime minister to date, according to Toronto Star. The negative sentiment about Harper commonly gives way to vituperative, even unreasoned, rhetorical attacks that would dismiss the broad support among Canadians which has seen Harper elected to power on three occasions. Harper is admired by some, loved by few and reviled by many. Ibbitson poses the timely question: So just who is Stephen Harper The publication of the book was moved forward by a month because of the early onset of the current federal election campaign, but this rigorous work is not a sensationalist book written on the fly.
