Reply #3: Same Thing In Canada

The New Canadian PM.

National Citizens Coalition (NCC) – Harper's presidency was a critical period

The NCC is a well-funded right-wing Canadian lobby group that has been heavily involved in advertising and political campaigns and legal challenges in support of its goals of "more freedom with less government." The impetus that led Colin M Brown to found the organization in 1967 was his stalwart opposition, as an insurance agent and doctor's son, to public health insurance or "socialized medicine," as it was framed at the time by its opponents. The NCC has publicly stated that as a matter of principle it conceals the names of the interests that fund its campaigns. In January 1997, Stephen Harper quit his Parliamentary seat and was named Vice-President of the NCC the same day.
