What Harper will be Remembered for

Could have gone so differently.  That's what happens when you wanna be a boss instead of a leader, though.

It is with great regret that I have accepted the resignation of Nigel Wright as my Chief of Staff.

Oct. 28, 2013 – Harper Says He 'Dismissed' Wright

Harper contradicts what he said in May by telling radio station News 95.7 Halifax that he "dismissed" Wright for writing the cheque.
