Former PM Stephen Harper Says Canada Is Worth Preserving
Harper Warns of Growing Challenges
Former Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper has said that Canada is “worth preserving” as the country faces increasing global and domestic pressures. He made the remarks during a public address in which he urged Canadians to protect national unity and independence.
Harper stressed that the current international environment is uncertain. As a result, he said Canadians must remain alert and committed to safeguarding the country’s sovereignty.
Concerns Over External Pressures
Although Harper did not directly name any foreign leaders, his comments reflected concerns about recent tensions in Canada’s relationship with the United States. He pointed to trade disputes and political rhetoric that have raised questions about Canada’s independence.
He warned that outside pressure could weaken the country if Canadians fail to respond with a united voice. Therefore, he called on political leaders across party lines to work together in the national interest.
Call for National Unity
In addition to foreign challenges, Harper also addressed internal divisions. He cautioned that political polarization and regional tensions could damage Canada’s long-term stability.
According to Harper, unity remains essential for protecting the country’s democratic values and economic strength. He urged Canadians to focus on shared goals rather than political differences.
Message to Future Leaders
Harper concluded by encouraging current and future leaders to place Canada’s independence above partisan politics. He said strong institutions, national cohesion, and public trust remain key to preserving the country’s future.
His remarks come at a time when debates over sovereignty, security, and national identity continue to shape public discussion across Canada.
