At a moment of crisis, Stephen Harper stands as one of the most important defenders of Canada’s sovereignty

Harper's understanding of the threat Canada faces, his credibility with the Conservative base, and his status as an experienced national leader all make him a powerful defender of Canadian sovereignty. He sets an example of patriotism and strength at a time when Canada needs all the patriotism and strength we can muster. And in his exhortation for Canadians to put political differences aside, he shows how we can bridge partisan divides to come together as a nation.
