Conservative Icons Stephen Harper and Preston Manning Reunite at CSFN

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a triumphant return to the political spotlight on Wednesday, delivering a powerful speech to the Canada Strong and Free Network Conference.

Harper's appearance is a reminder of the significant role he played in shaping the modern conservative movement in Canada. His leadership helped to unite conservatives across the country and bring them to power in 2006. Harper's speech emphasised the importance of free markets, individual freedom, and strong national defence, which are core values of the conservative movement.

The Canada Strong and Free Network Conference, formerly known as the Manning Networking Conference, was founded by former Reform Party leader Preston Manning. Harper's appearance at the event marked a significant moment in conservative history as it came after more than 20 years since the two former political allies had a falling out that led to the creation of the party currently led by Pierre Poilievre.

During his speech, Harper spoke about the need for conservatives to focus on economic growth, job creation, and innovation. He also discussed the importance of preserving national sovereignty and promoting Canadian values on the world stage. Harper stressed the need for conservatives to remain united and focused on their core values, even in the face of internal differences.

His message resonated with the conference attendees, who are eager to see the Conservative Party return to power in the next federal election.

Harper's speech at the Canada Strong and Free Network Conference was a powerful reminder of the conservative movement's core values and the need for unity and cooperation among its members. His return to the political spotlight was met with enthusiasm and support from conference attendees, highlighting the continued influence that Harper wields within the conservative movement.
