Of the many remarkable characteristics of Stephen Harper — aside from his overwhelmingly genial disposition — none is stronger than his deliberative character.
He thinks, thinks well and deeply, before he acts. So then, of this we may all be certain, that his choice to endorse Pierre Poilievre was not the whim of a fleeting mood, but a judgement long-considered and firmly articulated. The endorsement came as a surprise as Mr. Harper has mostly abided by the tradition that ex-prime ministers remove themselves from the affairs of their successors.
I hope he lives up to the Pierre Poilievre he’s projecting. Recall how quickly the past two leaders showed their true colours after winning the leadership.
