The Salt Spring Forum presents Tom Flanagan, who served as an advisor to Stephen Harper until 2004. Flanagan’s talk (and his book), Harper’s Team: Behind the Scenes in the Conservative Rise to Power, focuses on Harper’s rise to power – how a small group of colleagues, with little experience in national politics, transformed themselves into the disciplined, professional campaign team that brought down Paul Martin and the Liberals. Tom Flanagan is a political science professor at the University of Calgary, author, and conservative political activist.

Please join Tom Flanagan for a Forum community discussion on how and why the Harper Conservatives won power in Canada.
