Prime Minister Stephen Harper: One Year Later

Speaking of real leaders, today marks a year since the Rt. Hon. Stephen J. Harper took office as Canada's 22nd Prime Minister. After watching his brilliant years of performance as Leader of the Opposition, it is still a welcome change to see his name prefixed by "Prime Minister." For an enumeration of his minority government's remarkable accomplishments, visit the Conservative Party of Canada's website and click on the video "Getting Things Done: One Year in Office." While there is certainly room for improvement (more aggressive climate change mitigation efforts, reducing towards abolishing the income tax rather than the GST, etc.), his efforts have been overwhelmingly positive. The Canadian-American congratulates Prime Minister Harper on his achievements and wishes him many more productive years in office.
