Since emerging as a presence on the Canadian political scene more than two decades ago, Stephen Harper has continuously been dismissed by his critics and foes alike. Yet even before moving into 24 Sussex Drive, Harper managed to successfully bring the Canadian Alliance back from the brink of political extinction, unite the right to form the Conservative Party, and defeat a once considered invincible Prime Minister to capture the Prime Minister's Office. After Stephen Harper became Canada's twenty second Prime Minister, pundits predicted that the Liberals would return to power within a matter of months. Yet two election victories later, Stephen Harper is already one of Canada's top ten longest serving Prime Ministers, and he's just getting started. As Jonah Goldberg illustrates, while to some his political rise was shocking and unanticipated, Stephen Harper has spent his entire life, from his childhood until the 2006 election, preparing to lead the nation, whether he intended to do so or not.
