- FULL INTERVIEW: During media interview for Postmedia news, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper calls the Liberals and its leader Justin Trudeau’s economic plan “all unicorns and rainbows”. The PM election campaign was in Quebec city on Friday October 16, 2015. (Pierre Obendrauf / MONTREAL GAZETTE)
I am a Liberal AND I want Harper back!
Frozen Canuck
I'm a conservative and I want Chretien back!!
Frozen Canuck lol anyone but trudeau. Harper, Chretien Mulroney. Anyone but him.
Codiac Club spoken like a true criminal!
Codiac Club, good, i hope their lives were destroyed, they broke the law, you can't drive drunk and put other people lives in danger. You uncle got what he should have.
Snake Bite People make mistakes and usually learn by them, but hurting their ability to work and be productive in society after the fact, is not an intelligent move to help rehabilitate by any means! You sound like a total control freak self righteous hypocrite.
Now I remember what a real Prime Minister sounds like.
What a bunch of GD Americanized idiot comments, just like the American Worshiping Harper regime would make...
@@RawLu. How's PM Blackface working out for you?
I watched this just to hear Mr Harper’s calm and brilliant words. He was the best PM ever. I voted for you, did all I could do. Missing PM Harper😢😢☹️
I agree 110%
redrose. You are so right. I feel exactly as you do.
By far the best PM in my sixty two years in this Country.
redrose 7734 now he can
redrose 7734 I prefer Harpers speaking abilities over Trudeaus. Justin sounds too much like he is talking to an elementary school class when addressing the public in English.
God I really, really, really miss Harper.
We do in Alberta brother.
Equalist_not Feminist I
Definitely no comparison between Harper and Trudeau. Canadians who voted for Trudeau should be ashamed of themselves.
A KALB Hell-Ya they should be
They are too soulless to be ashamed.
Ya, that’s part of the problem. They have no shame
Random Guy The people in Justin Trudeau's riding voted for him as their MP. The Liberal Party voted for Justin Trudeau as their leader. No one else was able to vote for him. The CPC were defeated because they were corrupt.
Karen Jobagy Who is they? Most Canadians that were of a voting age could not vote for Justin Trudeau. If you reside in Whitehorse, Victoria, Medicine Hate, Regina, Winnipeg, North Bay or any other place that is not in Justin Trudeau's riding, you could not vote for him.
What a breath of fresh air for my brain and ears to hear this intelligent and calm man speak
And no uh, uh, uh, uh. uh.
not a man, he his a peoplekind
Indeed!
Mr. Harper, Please come back!!
J Lau. Not sure where you were during the election. Yes he was beat. But far from getting his ass kicked. The Conservatives still have almost 100 seats. 39.5% of Canadians voted Liberal vs 31.9% who voted Conservative is not exactly an ass kicking.
Come back for WHAT? More new tax? Do the math? Still not enough? The next one is called FST. (Fools Service Tax)
Please don’t. He was the closet we had to a dictator. He ran a secret government and wanted to be excluded from being challenged. He wanted Canada to be like the US, no thanks!
Sharing Lungs - god forbid we had become free like our American friends.
You think the country with the highest prison population in the world is free...you're out of your mind. And just look up Harper's billion dollar "Spy Palace", I'm glad he's gone.
This is a word of WARNING to us all in Canada wake up now.
Back when we had a real Prime Minister, straight talk, budget management, concern for working people's income.
I miss those days so much and I miss Stephen Harper!
I voted for harper 3 times and would have been happy to have him in 5 terms. He balanced our budget during war time. He was a Great leader. He wanted a strong middle class, created tfsa.
When Harper gov was in I never sat home wondering if I'd have work.since trudope came in I home half the time no work,wondering where all this so called employment increase is
I always voted for you and certainly miss your sensible leadership and the stable society that created. We are all on a sinking ship and I am scared for Canada.
Canada is the most moronic country in the first world.
Karen Jobagy I think you mistake us for our southern brothers
Why's 6 afraid of 7? Cause 789 actas a Canadian. ... No! The ignorance here is alarming, annoying, saddening, and frustrating. I really truly believed we were better than we have become
One of the only conservatives in British Columbia reporting in Bring back the Harp man!
Well, we did bring the cons back in Ontario, so we'll see what they do here.
Wasn't it nice when we had a grown-up for PM.
When was that? I must of missed that. I haven't seen one yet. None know their job.
Watching Stephen Harper after two and a half years of Justin Trudeau has reset the frequency in my brain back to normal. It feels good.
doesn't it good. he makes so much sense.
I miss Stephen Harpers ability to actually answer a question unlike Trudeau's stuttering and stammering.
Harper was a great leader
Natural born liar from the Hall of Shame.
Didn't you even watch the video? He says "uh" and "ummm" quite a bit!
@ Random Yes he does when he's refining a "POINT" not desperately going in circles searching for words. LMAO!
Stephen Harper was the greatest prime minister Canada has ever seen.
We need you back, sir.
Well said Mr Harper...
MR. Harper, You are much more than Trudeau! I wish we can have an intelligent, tough Primeminister similar to you in 2019!
Zuzana Halza Right. The CPC made Canada's debt close to $170 billion.
pamela kingwell That's why he's no longer PM. Corruption.
Dwayne Wladyka That was no excuse for voting in a total Jackass.
He didn't do anything wrong... lol
robocoe Tell me who else would be in power? Historically, you have two choices.
this is how a true leader speaks and conducts himself
rol dac : ✔️
rol dac yep a used car salesman
pedro magoo sounds like you must have voted for the used car salesman jihadi himself
Karyn Duchesne yep kind of...I voted Harper..then realized they bow to the same master, the privy council then wished not to further delude myself....and how about you Karyn?
Canada needs Harper back in the Prime Minister's office immediately to fix this country after the Princling Trudeau's screw ups and mis- management of the economy.
Maybe this is a sign!
Interesting and very informative!
He is one smart man. "Unicorns and rainbows" that is priceless . Good to see Mr. Harper speaking up and wearing the Canadian pin with pride.
What a big mistake Canadians made!
Notice the lack of "uhhh's and uhhmms"?
tu43 it's almost like he knew what he wanted to speak about and prepared accordingly ahead of time... Imagine my shock...
I counted 191 "uh"s and 51 "Uhm"s - Took a bit of time, but yes, Harper does stammer as well.
He's also not coming back as PM...Sheer likely won't either (He's like a dumber, less personable version of Harper.)
I'd wager a Liberal minority or coalition government in 2019.
Best PM in my 52 years. Canadians had no idea how good we had it with this man at the helm.
well said. He focus his work on creating a better life for us, but it seems voters doesnt care, and now they are complaining without even knowing this is a decision they made for themselves
Now we have emperor justin Trudeau
@@arctic_shadow578 I think you meant Idiot king TRUDOPE
Such a breathe of fresh air to hear our great Ex-Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
I'm so sorry Mr Harper.....you were one of the best PMs. Maybe Canadians are not worth saving anymore. ....
Hey Steven Thanks for still caring and helping out! Hope to see more of you going forward in the coming months.
i will say HARPER COME BACK WE NEEDS YOU
This man and his team brought us through the 2008 recession with grace and stability. I feel ashamed for our actions that removed him from continuing his work. We need Harper 2.0, as they call him, Andrew Scheer.
To this day I'm still absolutely stunned that Trudeau got a single vote. Harper wasn't perfect, but was by far the best PM in my lifetime. There was zero cringe to see him in public at a hockey game or with other leaders on the world stage. Canada repeatedly was called the best place to live. I for one was still a proud Canadian as I had been all my life.
Now I'm a proud Canadian as a counter measure to how sickened and embarrassed I am
Hearing Harper speak is like being a heroine addict in withdrawal and having my first hit in 3 years. I feel like I just got high on sensibility
Very well said.
mark dietz On top of that, Vladimir Putin stated publicly that Harper was the only world leader that actually intimidated him.
Common sense does feel good.Unless you have no soul.
I don't think Harper would appreciate your little drug story but I get what your trying to say
It was his hair...
I didn't always agree with Stephen Harper but man oh man do I miss him now that Trudeau is the PM.
The good ole days
i can proudly say he had my vote and if he returned he would get it again
Stewart Mckay: Same here.
I would kill myself before voting lieberal
"Published on Mar 24, 2018" If only Canadians had the foresight to see all this coming. Now, with their hindsight, the Trudeau hang over will last for decades.
I miss this Man leading our country. I have zero confidence in the current Liberal government.
Does it really need to take 2 years and billions lost for people to START thinking electing Trudeau was a bad idea? Oh right... Harper was a meanie.
NoIsaidposse Harper's old policies on Indigenous affairs, marijuana legislation and LGBT rights are what killed him. His overall fiscal policies weren't the issue, it was purely social.
Eulogy Well those issues can be described as under the mean label too. He didn't hug and cry with native leaders or dance in lgbt parades but I can't think of anything he took away from them. Yes, Trudeau woke up the stoners...for sure. What's the actual policy vs photos and emotion.
There are other factors too but "mean" was the theme.
Harper lost because media sold him as mean and he had a trainwreck campaign that was too long. Not that he isn't tough and difficult but I kinda want that in a PM. It's PM not a dance instructor. Plus he scooped the NDP on leftist issues and took away their votes.
Overall, CBC and others sold him as a meanie who wouldn't work with others and so for those that value pretty and nice over mean, it was an easy choice. Never underestimate the number of people who pay little or no attention, turn on CBC to see what to think and then head to the polls. I know many and I bet you do too. They couldn't tell you a damn thing other than what they hear at election time and for some strange reason they feel the urge to vote.
Alberta misses you, Mr. Harper.
Ontario too.
not me
Thanks to the Gazette for posting this, very timely, interesting and really demonstrates he knew what he was talking about. He specifically mentioned Trudeau and Wynne economic policies boy was he right on
MISS YOU Mr Harper! we are in a pickle.
I wonder what Mr. Harper's thoughts are on the issue that we now have a "0" balance in our gold reserves.
Mr. Haper, you made me feel a proud Canadian! You always had my vote!
I voted for this guy. Could not believe on my way to work the next day hearing on the radio that Trudumb won. Had to use my first sick day in 10 years and go back home actually sick.
Bob Bobo
When I woke up the next morning and heard that Trudeau won, I thought I was in the twilight zone. I couldn't believe anyone fell for that "budget will balance itself" crap. It's like promising that money grows on trees! Absurd.
I guess I overestimated my fellow Canadians. I'll not be making that mistake ever again.
Reason: Conservative fatigue, NDP turning off progressive voters with their commitment to balance the budget and get rid of the deficit immediately, Justin Trudeau had this in the bag. Mainly Justin ran on economic stimulus (raise taxes on the wealthiest 1%, cut taxes for the middle class, invest in jobs and growth, etc.).
And now we have a prime minister that didn’t deliver, has violated ethics laws 3 times, and in 2019 became only the second prime minister to be returned to office with such a low popular vote.
I give Stephen Harper credit - he only broke one promise that I know of, and didn’t break the law himself.
A man that talks and acts like a man. How refreshing.
I now proudly say that I voted for Harper whenever I can!
My GOD!! I wish we had him back!!!!
I never thought I wanted Stephen Harper back, and here I am 3 years later completely unhappy with my current government. Im a reasonably young person in my profession and I am struggling.
I was a life long liberal, from a family of life long liberals, who voted for Trudeau. It was a mistake, I will never vote for the Liberal party again in my lifetime. They've become to the left of the NDP.
No worry folks, soon I'll be old enough to vote and I'll vote against Crime Minister Trudouche :)
B M please talk to all your friends and try to get them to vote
Wonderful news--you're a wise one!
I find it incredibly refreshing to hear from an articulate intellectual vs the muttering fool we have in Trudeau.
I could listen to Harper all day. Trudough makes me want to throw up after listening to him for a minute.
Clair Denning Sooo true
Stop the off shore 'redistribution of wealth' and we wouldn't be so far in debt.
poppafiveone
We need legislation that prohibits gifting of money to anyone while we are in deficit.
They are good at stealing Keith,but they are wayyyy better at wasting what they steal.
Love him or hate him Mr. Harper will go down in history as one of the greatest Canadians of all time. A true statesman.
how people voted for trudeau as opposed to mr. harper is beyond my comprehension. we had an effecient gov t that worked for canadians and again they voted a circus show. thank you sir for your dedication.
CBC main reason... fake news
Reason: Conservative fatigue, NDP turning off progressive voters with their commitment to balance the budget and get rid of the deficit immediately, Justin Trudeau had this in the bag. Mainly Justin ran on economic stimulus (raise taxes on the wealthiest 1%, cut taxes for the middle class, invest in jobs and growth, etc.).

I give Stephen Harper credit - he only broke one promise that I know of, and didn’t break the law himself.
Handouts instead of tools
I miss Stevey so much. Listening to a real adult is so comfortable.
Would you please tell me why I did not vote for the Conservatives ! I’ve been kicking myself ever since .
Somehow Canada must find a way to get more conservative input into our media so that we get both sides instead of the 100% leftism we are fed daily !
@@9940r024 do you want to be like the USA?
@@michaelmurphy4907 actually USA only has one conservative media and it's fox news.
You, sir had my vote three times in a row!!
The millennial's ABC (Anything But Conservative) "strategic voting" has *KILLED* Canadian prosperity, sovereignty, security and RESPECT.
Mine too.
Its because they vote with their hearts instead of their brain.
You are too kind. I would say they voted with their anuses.
I hope the gullible liberals are suffering buyers' remorse now
I miss you so much Mr Harper.😭
please come back and help canada...please...we miss you i voted for you and was baffled that people voted liberal...
People who hated Harper must be kicking themselves now. Listening to Trudeau try and get out a sentence without uhhh uhhh is painful.
Good God, I miss having him as Prime Minister. The Liberal media was awful to him and the image of the PC party.
I was always a Liberal and never a Harper fan but now I wish with all my heart that HARPER was PM AGAIN...and I will NEVER support the Liberal Party EVER AGAIN !!!! In all thy SONS Command !!!
Please come back and lead us Mr. Harper
I don't know if it's me or what but it seems that conservative politicians make more sense than liberals, here in Canada and in the USA. Maybe I'm tired of "unicorns and rainbows" rhetoric at last which is the bread and butter of progressives and other identity politics adepts. I know one thing tough: I won't vote Trudeau ever again.
WTF IGO : Conservatives do make more sense. Much more. Watch the House of Commons Question Period (on Steeper33’s channel), and compare Conservative Pierre Poilievre’s common sense points to Liberal Bill Morneau’s endless dodging... and Conservative Candice Bergen’s intelligent questioning to Liberal Bardish Chagger’s word salad non-answers. No contest. Lots of sensible people on the Conservative side. The Liberals and NDP can’t hold a candle.
Bravo! Sound, Stable, common sense... refreshing to hear, for a change.
While loads of pple voted based on the media reports and regret it today, this should be an important lesson to us all: don't listen to mainstream media. Find alternative sources. There are loads of them. Look here, for one. Other platforms like Gab, bitchute, and others. And, some politicians have their own channel, Michelle rempel.
I know we are smart, let's make it happen.
I think Canadians are too gullible and smug to listen to your great advice, Vicki.
Karen Jobagy... Not you. You are here. That's good isn't it?
Vicky Villeneuve And let's not forget Pierre Poilievre :)
Karyn Duchesne.... Oh no...he's the number slayer.
I could actually listen to what this man had and have to say. When Trudeau pop out I have to change channel or I risk to have a stroke. Pls.Mr.Harper come back. 😭😭😭
Canada's Liberal Government is horrible!!! The gentleman speaking is our former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. What a guy!!! 😀
Trudeau needs to go
@JAB ITAL you been smoking
Hate to say it but as a westerner, and a life long patriotic Canuck, l'm ready to secede from the east...had it in the ear for way to long.
We are not all thick! I voted for Harper and voted conservative since the 90s
I wish I had voted for Harper :(
fomalhaut In hindsight I did make a mistake. Be thankful I’m still not on the Liberal bandwagon.
John Ralph - I agree John. I for one welcome a conservative vote aka a vote for a prosperous & healthy country
Why didn't you?????
John Ralph
So you're admitting you voted for Trudeau? I thought only women fell for Trudeaus BS. Women voted for a fictional character they read about in romance novels.
John Ralph, I'm thankful for one. We've all done it; I voted for Bob Rae back in the day! :P
Please come back Mr. Harper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The difference between an economist and a drama teacher.
Come back, I'll vote for you again.
Harper was a great PM. He knew what he was talking about and actually worked on behalf of Canadians
You don't know what you have until its lost. Please consider coming back as PM.
Mr. Harper was the man... We miss you!
Why did Canadians vote for Justin Trudeau? Harper was one of the best we had.
Mr. Harper I voted for you and live in your riding in calgary. Miss you so much. I knew this was going to be bad that the other guy got in.
janetitus1 ii
I always voted for him. I was proud of how he conducted himself in world affairs and even prouder of how other nations received him. Our standing in the world was admired. He wasn't perfect, he made mistakes but we didn't cringe when he said the word Canadians. I miss him.
Dear lord do we need this guy back
Mr. Harper come back to lead this country! Canada needs you!
What a shame that too many Canadians couldn't see what was right in front of them. We will never have a PM as wise and smart as Prime Minister Harper was. If we don't open our eyes and vote smarter in the next Federal election it will be Canada's downfall for sure. We will never ever recover.
We need the Conservatives back!
It would be very good if we could re-establish Stephen Harper as Prime Minister.
I really miss this guy
I hope Mr Sheer will put on his big boy pants and get trudeau out
plantboy100 Its not up to Sheer. Its up to the people who cast their ballots. Sheer will fall into place we just need to get him there.
Then it's up to quebec and ontario to stop the liberals getting back in, it's over by the time the ballots are counted in Alberta
plantboy100 absolutely... They need to get Doug Ford in
plantboy100: The Maritimes and Quebec need to wake up and stop voting Liberal.
Cody Price: This Ontarian will be voting for Doug Ford.
I never thought i would say this..... i miss you mr. harper
Canada done you wrong Sir. We need you back.
What a breath of fresh air listening to someone who knows what he is talking about. He is the best PM we ever had!
God I miss reason in government.
This man would have kept our borders and free speech safe!!
This 11 minute interview had more clear and articulate views, plans and explanations than Trudeau's entire mismanaged PM tenure
GOOD GOD,,,A TRUE ''STATESMAN'',,,PLEASE NOTE,,[MAN],,TALKS LIKE A LEADER,,
Almost forgot what a real prime minister sounds like. You can tell he actually knows what he is talking about, not just trying to remember what he was told to say and repeat it over and over.
We miss you dear Steven Harper. Canada was great during your time only. Please come back and save us.
Please come back Prime Minister Harper, we need you.
We need this guy back
2nd time here its amazing what a solid intelligent man speaking can do for the soul, God Bless Harper
We miss you Mr. Harper.
The contrast between Harper and Trudeau is truly stark.Imagine having the same kind of economic policy in your personal life as the govt has. Do you know any family who borrows money every year year after year and they don’t end up broke eventually.
Don't blame me I voted Conservative.
You sir, were the best prime minister Canada ever had. Thank you for your exemplary service.
Truly one of the best PM in Canadian history.
