== A merger consensus (merge economic policy and environmental policy into domestic policy) ==
 
Need input here in the discussion of [[Talk:Domestic policy of the Stephen Harper government#Merger proposal]].
 
Merge [[Economic policy of the Stephen Harper government]] and [[Environmental policy of the Stephen Harper government]] into [[Domestic policy of the Stephen Harper government]]. I'd argue that it's better to be organized and have only two seperate articles rather than four. Both economic policy and environmental policy are pretty short too so it won't really do much harm if we add them to domestic policy.

== Second longest PM from right of centre party ==
 
Pinging {{Ping|Ak-eater06}} I moved the sentence into another section of the lead because I felt it was out of place to include there. Usually, the first paragraph [[MOS:LEADBIO]] focuses on the main reason the subject is notable. In this case, it's being the PM and leading the CPC. I don't think Harper being the second longest PM from a right of centre party meets the criteria. It's certainly worth a reference to elsewhere, which is why I moved it to the section of the lead that discusses the end of his tenure, where it feels more appropriate. —<span style="font-size:85%;">'''''WildComet'''''</span> <sup>[[User talk:WildComet|talk]]</sup> 16:50, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 
: I wouldn't consider it notable, just as I wouldn't consider second-longest Liberal to be notable. [[User:G. Timothy Walton|G. Timothy Walton]] ([[User talk:G. Timothy Walton|talk]]) 16:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 
I would say it is a notable point, in the context of Canadian federal politics : it’s a reflection of the unusual dominance of the Liberal Party that it took over a century for a conservative pm to come even close to matching MacDonald’s tenure.

: For much of its history, the Liberal party also would be right-of-centre by today's standards. [[User:G. Timothy Walton|G. Timothy Walton]] ([[User talk:G. Timothy Walton|talk]]) 18:54, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
:A agree, which is why I moved it to a more relevant section of the lead, but don't think it's [[MOS:LEADSENTENCE]] worthy. —<span style="font-size:85%;">'''''WildComet'''''</span> <sup>[[User talk:WildComet|talk]]</sup> 04:06, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 
I think he's notable enough, as the first and ''only'' prime minister from the CPC. [[User:GoodDay|GoodDay]] ([[User talk:GoodDay|talk]]) 15:32, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

::::::Here's the orignial vs mine above, which sounds most enticing?
::::::During Harper's tenure, Canada had budgetary surpluses in 2006 and 2007 of $13.8 and 9.6 billion respectively. Following the 2008 financial crisis, Canada ran deficits from 2008–2013. The deficit was $55.6 billion in 2009 and was gradually lowered to $5.2 billion in 2013. In 2014, the federal budget was balanced with a surplus of $1.9 billion. For the first 11 months of the 2015–2016 period, the federal government was on track for a $7.5 billion surplus. For 2015–2016, the federal government projected a $1.4-billion surplus. Following the 2015 federal election and a change in government, the 2015 fiscal year ended in a $1 billion deficit instead. In 2010, Canada had the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7 economies. The Economist magazine stated that Canada had come out the recession stronger than any other rich country in the G7. In 2013, Canada came out with Global Markets Action Plan to generate employment opportunities for Canadians.

== Harper as a member of the committee of 300 ==
 
Stephen Harper is a member of the committee of 300. A significant part of his biography that is omitted. A part of such an entry should include what is the committee of 300 and how did Harper end up on it.

== Preceded by John Key ==
 
The article currently lists John Key as preceding Stephen Harper. They must mean Jean Chretien.
 
Semi-protected, so I'm unable to edit, but this is a no brainer IMO. [[Special:Contributions/198.2.78.141|198.2.78.141]] ([[User talk:198.2.78.141|talk]]) 16:08, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
