Quotes by Mr. Stephen Harper, Leader of the CPC

(From: http://www.scandalpedia.ca/Bios/Stephen%20Harper_en.html)

On social programs

“These proposals included cries for billions of new money for social assistance in the name of “child poverty” and for more business subsidies in the name of “cultural identity”. In both cases I was sought out as a rare public figure to oppose such projects.” 

(Stephen Harper, The Bulldog, National Citizens Coalition, February 1997)

How The East Was Won (Open letter to Conservative delegates)
