Harper calls for national unity, independence at portrait unveiling
February 4, 2026
Former prime minister Stephen Harper's official portrait has been unveiled ahead of the 20th anniversary of the election of his first Conservative government. Speaking to a crowd of ministers, premiers, current and former MPs and other dignitaries, Harper said parties must work together to preserve Canada's national unity and independence.
The 2026 budget has allocated funding for four additional RCMP officers, but according to the detachment's officer-in-charge, far more are needed to meet current policing needs.
