Stephen Harper (HSE)

Stephen Harper is the prime minister of Canada when the Fourth World War broke out. Harper was persuaded by Confederate Secretary of State Newt Gingrich to join the Allied Bloc, promising to him that Allied Forces will retake British Columbia and Yukon; now known as the Pacific Canadian SSR which was seceded to the Soviet Union in 1951 following the end of the Fourth World War.

To Gingrich's dismay, Harper chose to remain neutral, stating that "Canada cannot afford to loose any more territories than it has lost. Should we join, we risk becoming another republic of the Soviet Union." Harper won the support of the Canadian parliament on his stance on neutrality. Despite this, troops from the Republic of Cascadia and the Republic of California invaded the PCSSR.
