Major Party Leaders

: Harper defended his party saying, We do not offer them a better health plan than the ordinary Canadian can receive, according to CTV. That something new and existing and old stock Canadians agree with. During a major party leaders’ debate on the economy Thursday night, Harper came under fire on social media when he responded to a suggestion that Conservative policy strips refugees of some health care benefits. At a campaign appearance in Calgary Friday morning, a reporter asked Harper what he meant by the phrase. The claws quickly came out on social media when Harper initially made the remark, with many expressing displeasure – and confusion -- with the Conservative leader apparent categorization of Canadian citizens. After reiterating his party stance on health care for refugees, Harper said, It supported by Canadians who are themselves immigrants, and also supported by the rest of us – by Canadians who have been the descendants of immigrants for one or more generations.
