The Right Honourable Stephen Joseph Harper, PC, MP (born
April 30, 1959) is leader of the Conservative Party of
Canada, and Prime Minister of Canada. He was sworn in as
Canada's 22nd Prime Minister on February 6, 2006.
As one of the founding members of the Reform Party, he
served as an MP from 1993 to 1997 before leaving to head
the National Citizens Coalition. After the ousting of leader
Stockwell Day in 2002, Harper became leader of the
Canadian Alliance. In 2003, he successfully reached an

MacKay to merge the Canadian Alliance with the Progressive
Conservatives. In March 2004, Harper was elected leader of
