Three crucial speeches from Stephen Harper
When you watch these three speeches, it is amazing how a week can change things in politics. These three speeches are important at this time from Stephen Harper. They outline what was happening when the country was on the right track. This coup has created political instability, economic uncertainty, a unity crisis and done nothing to address the needs of Canadians. This coalition has taken us on the wrong track in Canada, and it is time to get back on the right track.
The first video is from the Winnipeg Conservative Convention. At this speech he highlights the hard work of volunteers who made the election victory possible. He outlines his vision and reaches out to opposition parties. The second video is the election night victory speech that gave him the mandate to become Prime Minister. He reaches out to Opposition parties. In the third video he outlines what is going on now and what he has done on the economy. He solicits ideas from the opposition parties.
The opposition have been plotting a coup to defeat Harper by joining with the separatists while the Conservative Party was attempting to work for Canadians who elected them on the issues people care about. Opposition speeches following the Governor General's announcement didn't seem like leaders who were interested in working on the economy. It seemed to me they want power at all costs despite your vote. They have no intention of working with the elected Prime Minister to make this parliament work. Several including Bob Rae have said Harper should be brought down regardless of what he does. "There is no turning back".
The results of the last election should be upheld and stability should be maintained for Canadians. Opposition should put Canada before their own political ambitions and political games. Thanks to Stephane Dion, the case has been made for a Conservative majority.

Winnipeg Conservative Convention Speech:
What Harper stands for. A great speech that also highlights the last campaign and where the country was going before this power grab by the coalition. Credit to Stephen Taylor for filming this.
Election Night Coverage and Harper Victory Speech October 14, 2008
How you become the Prime Minister of Canada unless you are Stephane Dion. Note 4:15 on the tape. 5:07 is also interesting. At 7:14 Harper speeks.

Address to the Nation:
Why this Rally for Canada is happening. Note this is how you produce a video and make sure it arrives on time.
