Comparing Harper to Trudeau is like comparing a University Professor to a teenager who goes to skool on the small bus; what a ridiculous choice Eastern Canada made in 2015 and again in 2019..
Uh...bruh..its a canada wide choice. Not a good choice but you cant blame it on eastern Canada. You cant blame anyone if you voted. Because only voters ae to blame. Démocracy is not working and it never will.
I’m from Quebec and half French , I have to agree with you but if only Ontario wasn’t doing the same mistakes Quebec are doing and it would be so much easier for them,when you are considering that Quebec is so far left it’s crazy because of this crazy 2 provinces we are in such bad position hopefully this will all change soon…all depends of Ontario

I would like to point out, look how well spoken this gentleman is compared to Trudeau. Harper was a great leader and Canada will never recover from what the Liberals have done to our once great country
Literally just telling my mom how refreshing it was to sit and listen to someone speak about opposing views with such class. The man had an opportunity to crush Trudeau and took the high road instead. I miss this. I didn’t realize how much. When did this disappear from our world? When did our political leaders loose the ability to speak with such grace. I just really really miss this.
Mr.Harper please come back as our leader we miss you. We need you back especially now.🍁❤ You are the best leader we had during an economic crisis. We have never needed your kind of leadership more than now.
Doesn't matter what leaders do..it's just a human being..we are Canadians ..we run the country. In that spirit..I trust Pierre Polievre remind us of that truth ! We are entering exciting times in our country's history because it's our turn to be captain of the ship ...are we ready !?
@@rollikj2523 look at the stats. He is women’s fault. If they took away the vote from women then things would be way better. The 5% of us who are actually politically knowledgeable would be willing to give up our vote to block the 95% who are morons who vote for someone because they like his hair
As one that did not vote for him I can anecdotally disagree, however I know I am an outlier. I do believe however that the issue is far greater than just the women that reactionarily voted for "the hair". It's the infantalizing of society in general and the feminization of young men. Boys are being raised feminist, that natural masculine traits are toxic, and to "be more like girls". There was a huge push in the 90s of the theory that if parents raised their boys as they would girls, the world would become a kinder, more gentle world. Fast forward to today, those boys have become weak and dependent men, easily swayed by authority. The result? Utter acceptance of valuing safety over personal responsibility and freedoms. This also leads to men that cannot stand up to the chaos of the female and cowtow to feminine whims.
Mainstream media launched a massive smear campaign against him, there was a hashtag going around, #abc anyone BUT conservative during the 2015 election. And that was how Canada ended up with that goof trudeau
He lost to a bunch of horn house wives who thought Trudeau was cute. He was always a pasty moon faced donut but I guess Canadian house wives are starved for D
I’m a Quebecor. Always voted Harper, Never voted for Trudeau, Legault, Plante. This is the shit my 4 kids will now have to live through because people are just sheep.
He seems to be a lot more comfortable in front of the camera, and a lot more human and animated than when he was PM. He seems to be a lot more relaxed.
That might be because the Canadian media were constantly trying to “get him”. I remember when the CBC ran a critical story of Harper dropping off his young teenage son at school and giving him grief for shaking his sons hand and not giving him a hug. It never occurred to the CBC goons that maybe Harper’s teenage son didn’t want to be on camera hugging his dad in front of his friends while being dropped off at school. That is the kind of garbage Harper had to face day after day. Contrast that with the cover up that the CBC does for Trudeau on a daily basis. It is disgusting.
I agree. But I also sympathize because imagine the stress levels a truly intellectual person must feel being in the spotlight like that. Even my ass is awkward being high as balls trying to find my bus pass lol
As a Canadian I wanted to express my admiration for Harper, I find there is no need, after reading all the comments...I wholeheartedly say ditto to all.
Back when people understood the value of intellectual superiority. We can't even acknowledge it now of course, because now you're called racist for it (which the underlining implication implies white people are superior 😕...which is actually racist).
I knowwww I’m so happy I didn’t vote for PM blackface! This man got us thru the 2008 depression like an ABSOLUTE G! To the point where he Got Canadians buying property in the states!
Canada didnt have the massive speculation in the housing market, deregulation of financial institutions and already had a higher home ownership percentage comparative to the US. Canada was on its way to a speculative housing market, but things blew up in the GFC before we got too carried away (0% mortgages, 40 year amortizations, etc.) In other words...dont give the government too much credit, we were just slower to head down the wrong path. In large part our financial system was propped up by the fact that we have only 6 major banks, and they are able to set housing prices by the amount of credit they are willing to give (within OSFI regulations).
@@cheryllunn2827 thats dumb. Harper isn't some saviour of healthcare. No PM would ever get rid of our universal healthcare system. It would be career suicide. But hey, he wasn't a libtard at least, right? Just stupid
I've actually never heard Harper's voice before in my life despite living here since 2000. He was always somewhat maligned by the news articles such from CBC and I'd always had a very negative image of him as incompetent and thoughtless... but here he comes off as obviously very knowledgeable and interesting. I don't agree with everything he said but I opened the video expecting to hear MTG-like diatribe. I saw many links to this interview denouncing it as all kinds of bad things but all I'm seeing is a surprisingly thoughtful discussion.
Never listen to the agenda of the CBC.... No “news” factions should be funded by government (tax payer) funds. It’s a blatant conflict of interest. The CBC is fueled by Liberal idealism.
There's actually a video of A Trudeau speaking thoughtfully and coherently - on the FLQ crisis. But it was Pierre Trudeau. Unfortunately the Trudeau we have now takes after his mother - a flighty airhead.
Just because someone is maybe more “well-spoken” in your opinion doesn’t mean they have better policies. I’ve had plenty colleagues that are miles ahead of myself, but have little to no communication. #harpersucked
I was okay with the back and forth. I think young conservatives are very hungry for heroes and strong examples of classic conservative thought. He's likely very excited to have SH on his show!
Stephen Harper is an extraordinarily intelligent, complex and thoughtful man as well as a private one. He is an Evangelical Christian who managed to keep that part of his life from becoming a political issue and is a scholar of hockey. He has written two academic books on the topic--one while he was in office.
Watching as a Canadian, and goodness do I ever wish Stephan would be PM now 😫, we need him so desperately because the next best guy, Pierre won’t run for leadership. But Joe: YOU INTERRUPT WAAAAYYYYYYYY TOO MUCH, STOP THAT!
Harper isnt tryig to preserve the west. He's trying to frame his narrow personal ethnic and religious definition of west... which ironically is anti-west.
“Western politics” see here’s the issue. Harper didn’t take into account the needs and wants of all of Canada. He just seemed to care more for the West rather than all of Canada, and that’s part of the reason he didn’t get many votes and lost to the joke that is Trudeau.
Liberals lying as usual. Go back to school and get an education. Stephen Harper was a wonderful PM. None are perfect or can meet everyone’s needs. But you tearing him down just proves you three are liberals or worse PPC supporters!
My daughter went thru customs security with this guy . Former PM of Canada had no security, fanfare , selfies or EGO. Just a smart guy who did not destroy his country. We need less government not more CCP control under Trudeau
Harper was a decent prime minister for Canada. The Yankees had a good relationship with Canadians. Most American countries had a good relation with Canada. Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and many other American countries had a great relation with Canada. I wish Harper came back as Canada's prime minister.
"Harper was a decent prime minister for Canada." No he wasn't. He massively drove up canada's debt during prosperous times when he could have been reducing it to save up for a rainy day. He also damaged Canada's global image of a peacekeeper neutral pluralistic nation with his militant "western civilization" and "judeo-Christian values" rhetoric (parroting Republicans in the US).
Can anyone honestly see our current PM sitting down and talking about world affairs with the same type of authority as Rt Hon Harper has in this interview
Every time we have an election in Canada, we should have 4-5 guys of this calibre to choose from amongst the parties. So refreshing to listen to someone who thinks deeply and considers things carefully.
Hey Turdeau...This is what a leader looks and sounds like! Notice he never says "um, aahh, um" he is intelligent. He is not reading a script, this is knowledge. We really miss you!! COME BACK give us back our government!
Made 5 promises, kept 4. Reduced the Goods and Services tax. Used the same healthcare system as the rest of us, unlike all other leaders. Zero scandals. Fostered kittens. Jammed weekly with his friends. Now he's an internationally recognized thought leader. Balanced the budget (they HATED him for that). Began paying down the national debt. In the best interests of conservatism, when he amalgamated the two conservative parties, despite him being the more recognized leader, he offered to take the back seat, just to get conservatives united. Best PM ever
Whoa. I absolutely despised harper when he was in power. I was younger then and bought into the idea that he was a bad person. Now after years of maturing and experiencing the alternative, I really miss his style of governce. He was far from perfect, but after this interview, I now realize he had our countries values and best interest at heart. I wish I appreciated how much better off our country was at the time. We really need someone with his demeanor and economic intelligence right now.
You were right he was bad. He's part of World Economic Forum. Also his office was involved in scandal and he knew about it. He's as slimy as the rest of them!
Harper is a globalist puppet who bends over for Wall Street. He sold out Canada's sovereignty when he allowed foreign crony capitalists to take over Canada's major railways.
Does Canada ever miss you, Mr. Harper! Joe, thanks for the great interview and for your knowledge of Canada. Every thinking Canadian needs to watch this prior to the upcoming election to see how far our country has fallen under the Liberals. We so desperately need an adult at the helm once again!
No he's a washed up blow hard who has never held a job. Do some research on him, I have. He got his ass handed to him by Canadians because of his right-wing ideology which according to my research majority of Canadian's don't agree with. He holds a degree in economics yet has never had a job in economics. Scandal after Scandal within his government. Suppression of voters just like here.
@@garryk3166 He was elected three times, and with a majority in 2011. He governed for nearly a decade. Prior to that, he built a political party from scratch, worked as Chairman of the NCC, was elected as an MP, and was employed by Imperial Oil. No blackface, no allegations of sexual impropriety, no LavScam, no hush money paid to underage students, no impromptu resignations by female caucus members, no embarrassing trips to India.

The smartest Canadian PM for the past 60 years. I do miss his intellect and opinion. Yet in my Country no one can seem to find a new PC leader as smart as Harper. We keep electing people with no political savvy, that can never beat Trudeau. Interesting how he never touched on what happens to a party that has been over taken by religion.
A Canadian Prime Minister that never did black and brown face, doesn’t say umm ahh every third word, didn’t penalize speech with jail time, didn’t pay off Canadian media, didn’t propose limiting online speech and didn’t change our anthem. Am I missing anything?
I didn't even realize I was spending my days grasping at straws for a breathe of fresh air until I heard this man speak critical thought into a constructive conversation. #VOTEFORREALPEOPLE
So good to hear Harper share his thoughts. Incredibly smart and interesting man, and a great prime minister. I wish Canada could get him back, or at least a prime minister with a head on his shoulders!
Great talk. You can tell Harper understands what he’s saying and why. I’d love to see Joe Biden or Trudeau hold up in a conversation like this. They can’t even spit out the talking points given to them and they could never answer a surprise question.
I was too young to have voted for Harper and when I lived in Canada I wasn't a Canadian citizen but I always supported him! I always found Harper supports to be welcoming to an immigrant, I always found it ironic that it was always the liberals who told me how nice they were and that I wasn't wewlcome in Canada.
Best Prime Minister Canada ever had in recent memory! Harper has more integrity and wisdom in his pinky finger than one could find in Justin’s tiny brain!
Trudeau is the exact opposite of a deep thinker. To paraphrase Elaine on Seinfeld: "Justin, just when I think you're the shallowest man in the room, you somehow manage to drain a little more water from the pond".
This man provides references, examples, he substantiates his claims. Sheesh is this what competence looks like? It’s been so long if forgot what it is supposed to look like.
I miss this man so much. Was he perfect? No, but he is a true articulate, intelligent leader. It’s heartbreaking to see the bafoons who are in control of this nation and what they’ve reduced it (and us) to.
We miss you so very much Mr.Harper! The good old days when we had qualified professionals running our country. Absolutely embarrassed with the state of our government today.
No he was not. His office was involved in scandal and he knew about it. He's also part of the World Economic Forum. He's no better than Trudeau. Selling out our country.
I miss listening to a prime minister speak where I didn’t want to claw my ears off. It’s refreshing to hear actual intellectual conversation, even if you don’t agree with everything. And he actually answers the questions rather than whatever it is Trudeau does

The last true leader Canada had and likely never to be repeated. It’s no wonder Canada is in the state we’re in given the weak leadership pool we have to choose from now
Stephen Harper is a globalist puppet who bends over for foreign corporate executives. The west wants out.
@@cowboysfan6699 .........You understand who replaced him right? I'm all for fighting globalism but that's the dumbest take I've heard in a while.

I would like to point out, look how well spoken this gentleman is compared to Trudeau. Harper was a great leader and Canada will never recover from what the Liberals have done to our once great country
He's WEF.
Literally just telling my mom how refreshing it was to sit and listen to someone speak about opposing views with such class. The man had an opportunity to crush Trudeau and took the high road instead. I miss this. I didn’t realize how much. When did this disappear from our world? When did our political leaders loose the ability to speak with such grace. I just really really miss this.
Harper is WEF.
When Trudope won! He has NO CLASS
Mr.Harper please come back as our leader we miss you. We need you back especially now.🍁❤ You are the best leader we had during an economic crisis. We have never needed your kind of leadership more than now.
Harper is WEF.
I am Canadian and I miss his leadership what we have now is embarrassing.
Doesn't matter what leaders do..it's just a human being..we are Canadians ..we run the country. In that spirit..I trust Pierre Polievre remind us of that truth ! We are entering exciting times in our country's history because it's our turn to be captain of the ship ...are we ready !?
You are a naive fool to believe Harper would lead Canada to a different outcome. He is a slave to the us and israel. Therefore he must do as told.
@@richeneflowease3622Pierre is a game changer, and will be our next prime minister. Go Pierre!
Term limits, so nobody needs to take a walk in the snow.
this man is too smart for the canadian electorate...you get the government you deserve, ladies
Yea.... canada shit the bed on the whole Trudeau thing
Some of the ladies did not vote for Trudeau, I’m one of them.
@@rollikj2523 look at the stats. He is women’s fault. If they took away the vote from women then things would be way better. The 5% of us who are actually politically knowledgeable would be willing to give up our vote to block the 95% who are morons who vote for someone because they like his hair
As one that did not vote for him I can anecdotally disagree, however I know I am an outlier. I do believe however that the issue is far greater than just the women that reactionarily voted for "the hair". It's the infantalizing of society in general and the feminization of young men. Boys are being raised feminist, that natural masculine traits are toxic, and to "be more like girls". There was a huge push in the 90s of the theory that if parents raised their boys as they would girls, the world would become a kinder, more gentle world. Fast forward to today, those boys have become weak and dependent men, easily swayed by authority. The result? Utter acceptance of valuing safety over personal responsibility and freedoms. This also leads to men that cannot stand up to the chaos of the female and cowtow to feminine whims.
Yeah... We got what we deserve.
This is the voice of a very intelligent leader. How could people not vote for this man?
DOMINION VOTING MACHINES.
Teenage girls liked Justin Trudeau’s hair more. Seriously.
Mainstream media launched a massive smear campaign against him, there was a hashtag going around, #abc anyone BUT conservative during the 2015 election. And that was how Canada ended up with that goof trudeau
Cause they're stupid and easily manipulated
He lost to a bunch of horn house wives who thought Trudeau was cute. He was always a pasty moon faced donut but I guess Canadian house wives are starved for D
I miss Harper like crazy. He was so much class. We need him back on the world stage .
I’m a Quebecor. Always voted Harper, Never voted for Trudeau, Legault, Plante. This is the shit my 4 kids will now have to live through because people are just sheep.
Aren’t you just a sheep for your party then? I’m also voting conservative I just think people that call others sheep are morons
My plan next Vote Max Bernier
We need more people out East that have your perspective It is tuff to see a guy like Stephan Harper replaced with what we have now?????
He seems to be a lot more comfortable in front of the camera, and a lot more human and animated than when he was PM. He seems to be a lot more relaxed.
Not having people on your case and under pressure will do that to you
That entire narrative was a leftist smear job, stop believing that lie
That might be because the Canadian media were constantly trying to “get him”. I remember when the CBC ran a critical story of Harper dropping off his young teenage son at school and giving him grief for shaking his sons hand and not giving him a hug. It never occurred to the CBC goons that maybe Harper’s teenage son didn’t want to be on camera hugging his dad in front of his friends while being dropped off at school. That is the kind of garbage Harper had to face day after day. Contrast that with the cover up that the CBC does for Trudeau on a daily basis. It is disgusting.
I agree. But I also sympathize because imagine the stress levels a truly intellectual person must feel being in the spotlight like that. Even my ass is awkward being high as balls trying to find my bus pass lol
This is true of all ex leaders, IMO. Preston Manning also comes to mind.
As a Canadian I wanted to express my admiration for Harper,
I find there is no need, after reading all the comments...I wholeheartedly say ditto to all.
The guy is WEF just like Trudeau.
@Fishy Brilliant analysis. Your insight borders on pure Genius.
Smells kind of Fishy though.
I'm embarrassed to say I actually voted for Justin in 2015. I think it's one of my biggest regrets. Can you come back please?
Time to get even, vote PPC MAX BERNIER, sept 20,or we are going to be owned by Chyna
A lot of us got bamboozled in 2015 when we were young and didn't know anything.
Mr. Harper is a leader. Trudeau is a drama teacher, and not a very good one at that. We have to save Canada and get an adult back into power.
They're both globalist pieces of trash. The west wants out.
@@cowboysfan6699 you'd rather socialism? Harper was one of the better Prime Ministers we have had
A fired drama teacher remember that
This prime minister has a masters degree in economics, the current one has a bachelors of education and taught Drama.
Back when people understood the value of intellectual superiority. We can't even acknowledge it now of course, because now you're called racist for it (which the underlining implication implies white people are superior 😕...which is actually racist).
Part time!

I miss the Harper days. Trudeau can’t hold a candle to him.

@@FuckTrudeau2 ok
Jim Flaherty was one of the best finance ministers of all time under Harper. The reason why we were anle to recover after 2008 crash.
Canada didnt have the massive speculation in the housing market, deregulation of financial institutions and already had a higher home ownership percentage comparative to the US.
Canada was on its way to a speculative housing market, but things blew up in the GFC before we got too carried away (0% mortgages, 40 year amortizations, etc.)
In other words...dont give the government too much credit, we were just slower to head down the wrong path. In large part our financial system was propped up by the fact that we have only 6 major banks, and they are able to set housing prices by the amount of credit they are willing to give (within OSFI regulations).
So true!
It sure would be nice to have an intelligent, thoughtful, pragmatic Prime Minister in Canada like Mr. Harper.
You wouldnt have healthcare if we did. Less pensions, less employment benefits, etc.
@@cheryllunn2827 thats dumb. Harper isn't some saviour of healthcare. No PM would ever get rid of our universal healthcare system. It would be career suicide. But hey, he wasn't a libtard at least, right? Just stupid

@@cheryllunn2827 why not? We had health care when he was previously prime Minister.

I've actually never heard Harper's voice before in my life despite living here since 2000. He was always somewhat maligned by the news articles such from CBC and I'd always had a very negative image of him as incompetent and thoughtless... but here he comes off as obviously very knowledgeable and interesting. I don't agree with everything he said but I opened the video expecting to hear MTG-like diatribe. I saw many links to this interview denouncing it as all kinds of bad things but all I'm seeing is a surprisingly thoughtful discussion.
Never listen to the agenda of the CBC....
No “news” factions should be funded by government (tax payer) funds.
It’s a blatant conflict of interest.
The CBC is fueled by Liberal idealism.
Even Napoleon said 4 hostile news outlets was more powerful than an army of 10,000 men
CBC...Canada's Biggest Charity.
CBC and Radio-Canada are the liberal’s and progressive’s brainwashing machines. They are the ones that are pushing woke ideology from coast to coast.
Except it a scripted video with 2 guys having a love fest
Mr Harper, Canada sure does miss your leadership.
If anyone can show me a video where Trudeau is as well spoken and thoughtful in his answer as Harper...I'll vote liberal in the next election...
That’s a low bar, friend. Even as a joke. Not to get too deep… he owes the Canadian people more than eloquent speech to make up for the wrongs done.
exclusive-video-shows-trudeau-in-blackface-in-third-instance-of-racist-makeup
There's actually a video of A Trudeau speaking thoughtfully and coherently - on the FLQ crisis. But it was Pierre Trudeau. Unfortunately the Trudeau we have now takes after his mother - a flighty airhead.
@@stevemitchell8478 you’re delusional
Just because someone is maybe more “well-spoken” in your opinion doesn’t mean they have better policies. I’ve had plenty colleagues that are miles ahead of myself, but have little to no communication. #harpersucked
Great interview. I wish the interviewer wasn't interrupting him so much.
I agree. I guess if you’re worth $425M, you can do what you want.😀...I love SH!👍
Let the guest speak. SH rarely speaks. When he does talk. It's usually insightful.
I was okay with the back and forth. I think young conservatives are very hungry for heroes and strong examples of classic conservative thought. He's likely very excited to have SH on his show!
The best Canada I've experienced was during Prime Minister Harper's government.
Stephen Harper is an extraordinarily intelligent, complex and thoughtful man as well as a private one.
He is an Evangelical Christian who managed to keep that part of his life from becoming a political issue and is a scholar of hockey.
He has written two academic books on the topic--one while he was in office.
and your point is ?
@@stephenmorris8557 Just a little background.
Watching as a Canadian, and goodness do I ever wish Stephan would be PM now 😫, we need him so desperately because the next best guy, Pierre won’t run for leadership. But Joe: YOU INTERRUPT WAAAAYYYYYYYY TOO MUCH, STOP THAT!
Erin O'Toole will make a fine PM someday soon. But we need to stay united as Conservatives to make sure that happens.
Would love to see two economists, AOC and Harper have a conversation……..
Canada needs more intelligence and less wishful thinking.
She would just stare at him with those crazy bulging eyes. Like a dear in headlights
LoL AOC is NOT an economist, she's a naive dreamer.
After years of Trudeau I forgot what an intelligent PM sounded like.
The West should be preserved at all costs. Those who haven’t travelled the world a bit to see this don’t deserve to criticize the miraculous West.
“At all costs” I agree my friend. I’ll be in the trenches with you
Max Bernier 2021
Not in its present Marxist/Globalist form.
@@HELLH0WND Agreed - not with the present bozo's in power. Sorry, using Bozo as a descriptor is unfair to clowns.
Harper isnt tryig to preserve the west. He's trying to frame his narrow personal ethnic and religious definition of west... which ironically is anti-west.
Thank you Steven Harper. At Last! A non-emotional, logical thoughtful reflection on the state of western politics! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Stephen Harper had his hands in disarming Canadians.
You seriously are praising the wolves
“Western politics” see here’s the issue. Harper didn’t take into account the needs and wants of all of Canada. He just seemed to care more for the West rather than all of Canada, and that’s part of the reason he didn’t get many votes and lost to the joke that is Trudeau.
Liberals lying as usual. Go back to school and get an education. Stephen Harper was a wonderful PM. None are perfect or can meet everyone’s needs. But you tearing him down just proves you three are liberals or worse PPC supporters!
My daughter went thru customs security with this guy . Former PM of Canada had no security, fanfare , selfies or EGO. Just a smart guy who did not destroy his country. We need less government not more CCP control under Trudeau
Sorry, but he's WEF just like Trudeau.
This is what it looks like to have an adult in the room. I believe Harper's stature will continue to grow over time.
Best PM ever in Canada 🇨🇦 Hope the Harper family are doing good.God Bless 👍
Harper was a decent prime minister for Canada. The Yankees had a good relationship with Canadians. Most American countries had a good relation with Canada. Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and many other American countries had a great relation with Canada. I wish Harper came back as Canada's prime minister.
"Harper was a decent prime minister for Canada."
No he wasn't. He massively drove up canada's debt during prosperous times when he could have been reducing it to save up for a rainy day. He also damaged Canada's global image of a peacekeeper neutral pluralistic nation with his militant "western civilization" and "judeo-Christian values" rhetoric (parroting Republicans in the US).
Excellent PM.
Wish Canada had him leading the country today.
Can anyone honestly see our current PM sitting down and talking about world affairs with the same type of authority as Rt Hon Harper has in this interview
ah, ah, lucked ah out ah, with, ah ah, the pandemic ah.
We missed u Mr Harper! Try to come back again and be our PM in Canada
The current person can't even answer a simple yes or no question.
The Right Honourable Harper is nothing more than a harpy WEF muppet. Do some research!
Man, oh man, do we miss this man.
Every time we have an election in Canada, we should have 4-5 guys of this calibre to choose from amongst the parties. So refreshing to listen to someone who thinks deeply and considers things carefully.
Hey Turdeau...This is what a leader looks and sounds like! Notice he never says "um, aahh, um" he is intelligent. He is not reading a script, this is knowledge. We really miss you!! COME BACK give us back our government!
We need you Mr. Harper !
You are the best PM we ever had !!!
Help us ....we are dealing with crazy times with a man child at the helm !
He is looking really good now!!! A person with an economic brain that could turn around Canada in a heart beat! Miss you Mr. Harper!
Why don't you ask him about his good friend Klaus Schwab? Bet you didn't know he's part of the World Economic Forum.
Made 5 promises, kept 4. Reduced the Goods and Services tax. Used the same healthcare system as the rest of us, unlike all other leaders. Zero scandals. Fostered kittens. Jammed weekly with his friends. Now he's an internationally recognized thought leader. Balanced the budget (they HATED him for that). Began paying down the national debt. In the best interests of conservatism, when he amalgamated the two conservative parties, despite him being the more recognized leader, he offered to take the back seat, just to get conservatives united. Best PM ever
Stephen Harper is the very BEST Prime Minister Canada EVER EVER had!
I remember when Steven Harper said that if he won a majority government that he would get rid of the long gun registry and then he did exactly that
Whoa. I absolutely despised harper when he was in power. I was younger then and bought into the idea that he was a bad person. Now after years of maturing and experiencing the alternative, I really miss his style of governce. He was far from perfect, but after this interview, I now realize he had our countries values and best interest at heart. I wish I appreciated how much better off our country was at the time. We really need someone with his demeanor and economic intelligence right now.
You were right he was bad. He's part of World Economic Forum. Also his office was involved in scandal and he knew about it. He's as slimy as the rest of them!
What a wonderful PM ... I miss him as Our PM so damn much.
Ah, a grown man and serious politician right here, unlike the child in the PMO right now.
Miss him so much. Wish he was still our PM.
Harper is a globalist puppet who bends over for Wall Street. He sold out Canada's sovereignty when he allowed foreign crony capitalists to take over Canada's major railways.
Such a shame to lose him as our National Leader
Does Canada ever miss you, Mr. Harper! Joe, thanks for the great interview and for your knowledge of Canada. Every thinking Canadian needs to watch this prior to the upcoming election to see how far our country has fallen under the Liberals. We so desperately need an adult at the helm once again!
The Conservatives are essentially another liberal party (minus Pierre). The future is looking very dim for Canada
No he's a washed up blow hard who has never held a job. Do some research on him, I have. He got his ass handed to him by Canadians because of his right-wing ideology which according to my research majority of Canadian's don't agree with.
He holds a degree in economics yet has never had a job in economics.
Scandal after Scandal within his government. Suppression of voters just like here.

He was elected three times, and with a majority in 2011. He governed for nearly a decade.
Prior to that, he built a political party from scratch, worked as Chairman of the NCC, was elected as an MP, and was employed by Imperial Oil.
No blackface, no allegations of sexual impropriety, no LavScam, no hush money paid to underage students, no impromptu resignations by female caucus members, no embarrassing trips to India.

The smartest Canadian PM for the past 60 years. I do miss his intellect and opinion. Yet in my Country no one can seem to find a new PC leader as smart as Harper. We keep electing people with no political savvy, that can never beat Trudeau. Interesting how he never touched on what happens to a party that has been over taken by religion.

Refreshing, smart, balanced statements mr. Harper. Canada needs leaders like you.
A Canadian Prime Minister that never did black and brown face, doesn’t say umm ahh every third word, didn’t penalize speech with jail time, didn’t pay off Canadian media, didn’t propose limiting online speech and didn’t change our anthem. Am I missing anything?
I didn't even realize I was spending my days grasping at straws for a breathe of fresh air until I heard this man speak critical thought into a constructive conversation. #VOTEFORREALPEOPLE
He's part of World Economic Forum. No breath of fresh air.
Mr. Harper's book is an excellent read. Highly recommended.
He had Canada on the right track. The Globalist self-haters have now taken over the West.🙃
Yes I did .worth to read right now right here
You are dearly missed in Canada Mr Harper
So good to hear Harper share his thoughts. Incredibly smart and interesting man, and a great prime minister. I wish Canada could get him back, or at least a prime minister with a head on his shoulders!
He didn 't get majority governments for a reason. Canadians are smarter than he and the right wing element think.
@@larrymoore9032 he won a majority in 2011. It was only in 2006 and 2008 that he won minorities.
Great talk. You can tell Harper understands what he’s saying and why.
I’d love to see Joe Biden or Trudeau hold up in a conversation like this. They can’t even spit out the talking points given to them and they could never answer a surprise question.
I was too young to have voted for Harper and when I lived in Canada I wasn't a Canadian citizen but I always supported him! I always found Harper supports to be welcoming to an immigrant, I always found it ironic that it was always the liberals who told me how nice they were and that I wasn't wewlcome in Canada.
🙏Thank you former prime minister Stephen Harper 🇨🇦
Best Prime Minister Canada ever had in recent memory! Harper has more integrity and wisdom in his pinky finger than one could find in Justin’s tiny brain!
We need Mr. Harper back !!!
Please come back and save Canada, we need you more than ever. Refreshing to hear intelligence from a world leader instead of our woke idiots.
Max Bernier is ready, are only hope in fact
Trudeau is the exact opposite of a deep thinker. To paraphrase Elaine on Seinfeld: "Justin, just when I think you're the shallowest man in the room, you somehow manage to drain a little more water from the pond".
This man provides references, examples, he substantiates his claims. Sheesh is this what competence looks like? It’s been so long if forgot what it is supposed to look like.
I miss you, Harper. So much. My future and country would be so much better.
I miss this man so much. Was he perfect? No, but he is a true articulate, intelligent leader. It’s heartbreaking to see the bafoons who are in control of this nation and what they’ve reduced it (and us) to.
Harper is WEF just like Trudeau and so is Polievre or how ever the heck you spell the guys name.
Though I am from the United States, my favorite Canadian PM is Stephen Harper.
We miss you so very much Mr.Harper! The good old days when we had qualified professionals running our country. Absolutely embarrassed with the state of our government today.
Stephen Harper one of the best Canadian prime ministers
No he was not. His office was involved in scandal and he knew about it. He's also part of the World Economic Forum. He's no better than Trudeau. Selling out our country.
I miss listening to a prime minister speak where I didn’t want to claw my ears off. It’s refreshing to hear actual intellectual conversation, even if you don’t agree with everything. And he actually answers the questions rather than whatever it is Trudeau does
