Stephen Harper answers questions from the Council on Foreign Relations

with 28 comments

September 25, 2007 - Prime Minister Stephen Harper answered questions from members of the Council on Foreign Relations, a US-based non-partisan think tank for international affairs.

Harper answered questions on a wide range of issues including climate change, the Kyoto Protocol, the differences between the US and Canada, and why America is ‘hated’ but Canada is not.

Harper said there is a high possibility of another minority government after the next federal election, but that Canada’s foreign policy would not change even if they achieved a majority.

I believe that when it comes to foreign affairs and global security, this is one area where you do what is right in the long-term interests of the country, your allies and the world … Under a minority government, this government’s foreign policy will not be any different than it would be under a majority government.

- Stephen Harper

  4. [...] ce jour, aussi bien Stephen Harper et Jean Charest continuent de nous enfoncer plus profondément dans les pièges que sont les [...]

  5. Behind the cfr, nafta, spp is David Rockefeller
    Behind the un is J.D. Rockefeller
    the Rothschilds funded J.D. Rockefeller
    Rothschilds were behind both sides of every war since 1700′s and have created the income tax system to pay them back

  6. Harper is an economist educated in a narrow stream of ideology.
    How one can believe such a background will keep Canada afloat is taking the easy route out of responsible citizenship.

    Check out the Canadian Action Party – they are the only ones who dare to outline a history & solution to the financial and sovereignty problems Canada face.

    No, I am not a member, but I learn a lot from those folks.

  7. EVERYONE who cares about our waning freedoms should google:

    A Chronology of

    The Revolutionary Roots of the UN and the radical minds behind the New World Order

    &

    A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER

    FDR’s OWN Son-in-law, Curtis Dall, said FDR took ALL his New Deal traitorisms DIRECTLY from the CFR!!

    The CFR is a roundtable spin-off of England’s RIIA formed by Cecil Rhodes (deBeers) for a recombined USA/UK to rule the whole world

    Rhodes scholars = evil

  8. why do americans refer to people who talk and want to know about this stuff as “Conspiracy Theorists”, when people like the President of the United States of America(Woodrow Wilson), openly admitted to destroying his great, free nation by handing power\control to a handful of bankers in 1913. Is that dirty history taught in american classrooms, or is it supposed to be not known or talked about?

  9. Both the current Conservative government and the previous Liberal government were elected with less than half of the total 308 seats in the house of Commons – a minority not a majority.

    The party with the most number of seats still forms the government, but the opposition parties can cause an election at any time by defeating any bill that requires ‘confidence’ in the government. Votes on money bills are automatically confidence votes.

    Thanks for watching and good luck as a new voter.

  15. The only reason harper gets broad donations is they spread the corporate money up just like the libs use to do after chretien passed legislation outlawing large corporate donations. there’s ways around these things guys if you havnt figured it out. and believe me it’s possible, not hard to get people together to donate money givin by other sources. It was done by the libs except they got busted

    Harper is carefully well spoken but that’s beside the point. Look at what’s going on now!

  16. The evil Rockefeller/Rothschild creation the CFR, and it’s proto-member puppets like Col House, are responsible for WW1, the Federal Reserve and the Income Tax to pay the Fed’s private shareholders their shylock interest.

    All things Wilson later admitted had RUINED his country.

  17. The truth about these monsters like the CFR and CCCE is that they are neither liberal nor conservative. They make use of both liberal hegelist globalists and conservative hegelist globalists, manipulating EVERYONE into believing that replacing individual privacy and liberty with absolute government power and secrecy is better than defending our “outdated” notions of silly democratic processess.

  18. He is an enemy to the sovereignty of Canada and the U.S. who is not to be underestimated because of the sophistication with which he manipulates the gullible, playing on their social fears and prejudices.

  19. “CCCE member Leonard J. Asper, CanWest Global Communications Corp., who used the occasion of Howard’s visit to intensify the drive to attack and occupy Iran by spreading a big lie that Iran had passed a law to force non-Muslims to wear identifying badges. This lie was shamelessly repeated and given full endorsement and state authority by Prime Minister Howard, Prime Minister Harper and U.S. State Department spokesperson Sean McCormack.”

  20. A lot of people donated to Bush too. That doesn’t make him any less of a liar or a traitor however. Most Canadian’s don’t know of the relationship between leonard Asper, canwest, the CCCE and Harper. Infact canwest has them so spun most don’t know what the SPP is, or that it was constructed follow each and every recommendation from Rockefeller’s Council on Foreign Relations. How many poor people you suckered into contributing to you is no defense against charges of treason.

  21. I think you should look at the Elections Canada database if you think the Conservatives are backed by big money … the truth is they have a broad base of individual supporters, more so than any other political party. Harper made political donations by corporations, unions, and special interests illegal, so that just doesn’t fit.

  22. if the minutes of these private meetings ever got released (ya right) this guy would be up on treason charges

    Oran’s Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as: “…[a]…citizen’s actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation].” In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aided or involved by such an endeavor.

  23. Harper is an idiot .. the US is hated for their foreign policies and this fool is following their lead.

  24. Totally. Harper is a Rockefeller minion. He was ridiculing any notion of a Nafta Superhighway WHILE manitoba and Alberta were honestly telling people about the Winnipeg INLAND PORT. He is a LYING treasonous evil scumbag. It is tragic that treasonous whores like this wriggle their way into office with the help of their investment class backers.

  26. What a confident, articulate performance this was. Whether or not you agree with his policies, you have to give Harper some respect for assuming the Prime Ministerial mantle so well. He comes across as polished, well-informed, and intelligent. I’m proud to have him up there representing us.
