🚨 Breaking News: Elan Harper Running for Conservative Nomination in YYC-Confederation 🇨🇦 🧠The intelligence, pragmatism, and campaign experience to retake the riding. 📊 Folks, I’ve known Elan Harper and her husband, Robert Harper, for more than a decade. Elan is one of the smartest people I know. When I learned she holds four degrees, I wasn’t shocked. What did surprise me was this: aside from her first year, she worked full-time while earning them…all while balancing marriage and motherhood. That takes discipline. Real discipline. That is hard enough without being a parent. Elan may be the smartest person in the room, but unlike Naheed Nenshi, she’s relatable. She’s humble. She listens. And she understands regular folks. Now, some of you may recognize the last name. She is the sister-in-law of former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Let me tell you this clearly: she is not riding the coattails of a famous last name. She is the stitches that made up that coat. She started her political career with the Reform Party and later worked for Stephen Harper when he was an MP. She handled media relations, wrote speeches, and helped write the Conservative platform. If you admire Stephen Harper’s pragmatic version of conservatism, Elan Harper had a hand in shaping it. One accomplishment she’s particularly proud of? Forcing MPs to substantially reduce their own pensions…pensions so generous they would have been illegal for any other Canadian. That’s fiscal conservatism in action. She later worked in the office of Pierre Poilievre, helping shape national policy rooted in responsibility, opportunity, and unity. She also brings serious private-sector experience…leading the Canadian corporate tax practice at a national accounting firm after serving in senior leadership at a tax law firm. Her message is simple and powerful: “Canada is a country built by people who work hard, take responsibility, and believe tomorrow can be better than today.” That resonates with Conservatives…because it’s true. Elan Harper is strong, independent, and principled. If she wins the nomination and is elected to Parliament, she will defend conservative principles and stand up for Albertans…unlike the current Liberal MP, who recently voted against the Conservative pro-pipeline bill. She also knows how to win. As campaign manager in Calgary Skyview, she led a disciplined, hard-working team that flipped George Chahal’s former Liberal riding back to the Conservatives. Elan Harper is not a parachuted candidate. She’s lived in the University community for over 25 years, served on numerous federal and provincial Conservative boards, and held leadership roles in multiple campaigns. Bottom line: This will be a serious, competitive nomination race…and it’s coming soon. If you’re a party member, make sure your membership is current. If you’re not, go to the party website and get one. It’s time to turn Calgary Confederation Tory blue again."

Stephen J. Harper: "Here for Canada: Memoirs of the 22nd Prime Minister" - 650 pages - Penguin Random House 2026
You find Stephen J. Harper on X here:
"OTTAWA — Former prime minister Stephen Harper says he offered Mark Carney, then the governor of the Bank of Canada, a role in his Conservative government in 2012 — though not as finance minister. Not right away, at least.
In his new book "Here for Canada: Memoirs of the 22nd Prime Minister," Harper says he told Carney the finance position was already taken but indicated that he would be next in line for the job when it became vacant.
"Obviously, I did not offer him the post of minister of finance, as it was then not available. However, I indicated that, if he chose to join the government, he would be the leading candidate should the post come open," Harper writes.
Carney said in an interview on CBC during the 2025 Liberal leadership race that Harper had "asked me if I would be his finance minister in 2012." He said at the time it wouldn't be appropriate to go directly from the Bank of Canada governorship to party politics.
In his book, released Tuesday, Harper says while Carney was "highly effective" as bank governor, his finance minister Jim Flaherty was "increasingly" worried in the wake of the 2011 election that Carney was nurturing political ambitions and might wish to seek the Liberal party leadership — something widely rumoured at the time.
"This was a serious concern for us," Harper writes.
Harper says he brought it up with Nigel Wright, his chief of staff, who suggested a job offer would either secure Carney's services for the government or force him to rule out a Liberal leadership bid, since he was in the non-partisan role of bank governor.
"Mark took some time to reflect on the opportunity, ultimately declaring that he should stay out of partisan politics," he said, noting Carney left soon after for the top job at the Bank of England.
The mention of Carney is just a small aside in the nearly 650-page memoir. Harper says he felt he should address the issue since it has "occasionally cropped up in the media."
"Harper also says he only learned of one of the most controversial episodes of the 2015 election — his party's embrace of a "barbaric cultural practices hotline" — during his preparation for the French leaders' debate in Montreal when the news "flashed across my screen."
The announcement of the proposed tip line — which frustrated Red Tories and hindered the party's outreach efforts with multicultural communities years after the fact — was fronted at the time by former cabinet ministers Kellie Leitch and Chris Alexander."

Harper's roots in Tantramar here: The White Fence, issue #45 - Tantramar Heritage Trust
"Joe Harper became a chartered accountant and, in the late 1940s, spent a lot of time in Sackville as an articling student for the Moncton firm of Hudson McMackin & Co. He stayed at Marshlands Inn and worked on accounts for the Town of Sackville, Randworth Apartments, and several other businesses. He moved to Toronto in 1951, married Margaret Johnson in 1954 and raised a family of three boys: Stephen, Grant and Robert.
The roots of this historical town of Sackville run deep in this nation. In July, 2012, the Township of Sackville will observe its 250th anniversary — a time to celebrate and remember the early families who pioneered this community."
Stephen Joseph Harper was born April 30, 1959 in Leaside, Ontario. Harper married his wife Laureen Teskey in 1993.. she had previously been married to New Zealander Neil Fenton from 1985-1988. Harper has two children with Laureen: Benjamin and Rachel.

" Moncton bylaw and community safety officers will have increased powers early next year, once a new provincial pilot program kicks into gear.
Right now the city’s 25 officers are limited in what they can do and how they can protect themselves, said Charles LeBlanc, director of bylaw enforcement and community safety with the City of Moncton.
But that will change once the officers are appointed as "special constables" under the New Brunswick Police Act."
