Stephen Harper's Keynote Address

Stephen Taylor posted the full speech at this blog. To view the full version click here. Prior to the speech I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Taylor in person. It was an honour to shake his hand as this guy has done great things for our party as far as the online tools go. The blogging tories are well represented here. The site was created by Taylor.

Stephen Fletcher introduced the Prime Minister and Shelly Glover/Christian Paradis had a terrific warm up act. Prior to the Prime Minister speaking, Laureen Harper had the chance to share some stories about Stephen Harper as a father and husband. Later in the night I had the opportunity to meet Laureen in person. She is very friendly and is a big asset to our party. Stephen Harper had a terrific speech and the mood was upbeat among delegates. It is clear our party has come a long way since our last policy convention in Montreal.

The optics of the room were also beautiful. Some pictures are included of Harper speaking in front of delegates and the overall feel of the room. Prior to the speeches there were circus performances and a music act. Stephen Harper shook a lot of hands before and after the speech. I was happy to congratulate him on a stronger mandate and shake his hand as well.
