HISTORY ACCORDING TO STEPHEN HARPER

HISTORY ACCORDING TO STEPHEN HARPER - 
 By Bernard Bujold - 
 I just received the memoirs of former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper: “HERE FOR CANADA.” I liked Harper as prime minister, and I met him a few times as a journalist, but his wife was much less shy and easier to talk to at public events… I always admired Laureen Harper as a woman during the couple’s time in politics. She loved motorcycles, cats, and Stephen! Laureen was a graphic designer by trade. The Stephen I knew was always very serious… 
 Former Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper is a gifted writer and has published several books covering sports history, international politics, and the country’s institutional history, in addition to his memoirs. 
 -A Great Game: The Forgotten Leafs and the Rise of Professional Hockey (2013) 
 -Right Here, Right Now: Politics and Leadership in the Age of Disruption (2018) 
 -The Flags of Canada / Les drapeaux du Canada (2025)
 -Here for Canada: Memoirs of the 22nd Prime Minister (2026) 
 Stephen Harper’s memoirs begin with his early life and span to his ten years as the country’s leader (2006–2015), offering a behind-the-scenes look at his government’s major decisions. The book offers a fascinating look at a politically rigid era that was, nonetheless, economically sound. Harper was a very good manager, even though he was considered by many—in particular artists—to be overly strict at times. I loved Harper’s memoirs, which I’ve placed on my bookshelf next to works by Brian Mulroney, Jean Chrétien, Mark Carney, and the 2005 biography of Harper written by a great Canadian journalist and friend of mine, William Johnson (STEPHEN HARPER - and the future of Canada)
