Is Stephen Harper Canada's most progressive PM?
A surprising voice says our current Prime Minister is the most progressive we've ever had.
Stephen Harper is a Conservative. You'll know that because, along with being Prime Minister, he's the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.
Bill Tieleman is not a Conservative. You may know that from reading his decidedly left-leaning political commentaries on the online news magazine The Tyee, and because he's spent his career advising the NDP, and Labour unions, and tonnes of non-profits.
So why does Bill Tieleman say Stephen Harper is the most socially progressive PM Canada has ever had? Listen to find out.
