Stephen Joseph Harper PC é um político canadense que serviu como Primeiro-ministro do Canadá de 2006 até 2015. Antes disso foi Líder da Oposição entre 2002 e 2006.



Harper obteve facilmente sua posição na Câmara dos Comuns como Membro do Parlamento, representando um distrito eleitoral de Calgary, em Alberta. Harper é o primeiro chefe de governo canadense eleito a representar um distrito eleitoral fora da província de Quebec, desde Joe Clark, que também representara um distrito de Alberta — Kim Campbell foi primeira-ministra do Canadá em 1993 pela Colúmbia Britânica, mas não foi eleita pela população, e sim, tornara-se primeira-ministra ao assumir a liderança do Partido Progressista Conservador.

Durante o governo de Harper, puxado por uma crise internacional, a economia do Canadá começou a cambalear. Para tentar sanar as dificuldades financeiras, seu governo adotou uma série de medidas de austeridade. Apesar de efetiva, a recuperação econômica foi lenta.No âmbito externo, manteve uma política alinhada aos Estados Unidos, estreitou negócios com a Europa e estabeleceu boas relações na Ásia, particularmente com a China.

Apesar de popular no começo do seu governo, seus índices de aprovação começaram a declinar nos seus últimos anos no cargo de primeiro-ministro, principalmente em decorrência da estagnação econômica. Assim, nas eleições gerais de 2015, seu partido acabou perdendo a maioria no Parlamento, forçando Harper a renunciar.

“When people think of Islamic terrorism, they think of Afghanistan, or maybe they think of some place in the Middle East, but the truth is that threat exists all over the world … There are a number of threats on a number of levels, but if you are talking about terrorism it is Islamicism … There are other threats out there, but that is the one that I can tell you occupies the security apparatus most regularly in terms of actual terrorist threats … homegrown [Islamic] terrorism is something we keep an eye on.”

“Whether Canada ends up as o­ne national government or two national governments or several national governments, or some other kind of arrangement is, quite frankly, secondary in my opinion… And whether Canada ends up with o­ne national government or two governments or ten governments, the Canadian people will require less government no matter what the constitutional status or arrangement of any future country may be.”
