Pro-Monarchy Agenda
-According to the Church of England, and since the very founding of Canada, for a country to be defined as “Israel” it must be a monarchy, and under allegiance to the throne of the Canadian royal family
-Given Canada is a constitutional monarchy, the Conservatives under Harper clearly demonstrated through policy they in fact seem to “like monarchy better than democracy” according to Harper critic Yves Engler
-Under Harper the Conservatives, in pursuit on promoting Canadian ties to the monarchy, ordered portraits of Canada’s Queen Her Majesty Elizabeth II to be put up in all overseas missions and promoted British royal visits to Canada
-Under Harper, the Conservatives reinstated “Royal” to the Canadian Air Force and the Navy’s official name to remind Canadians we are a constitutional monarchy
– Harper’s government spent more than an unprecedented $28 million on commemorations of a war that happened 200 years ago between Canada’s pro-monarchy legions and the American pro-democracy forces, in which Canadian forces loyal to the British monarchy burned down the White House, the Capitol, the Navy Yard, and other public buildings, in the “Burning of Washington”
Arab & Muslim World

-During a trip to the Middle East, Harper’s Foreign Minister John Baird met royal officials in Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. In praising the leadership of these countries, the minister refused to mention support for democratic struggles in these monarchies
-Baird blamed opposition to Bahrain’s 218-year monarchy on Iran and criticized the pro-democracy protesters
– Canada under Harper has supplied to the Saudi Arabian National Guard hundreds of LAV-3 and other similar vehicles
-Under Harper, a General Dynamics factory in London, Ontario, has produced more than 1,000 Light Armoured Vehicles (LAVs) for the Saudi military
-In 2010, the visiting Saudi King His Majesty King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz established ‘the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Chair for Dialogue among Civilizations’ and donated $5.33 million dollars (SR 20 million) to the University of Toronto to fund this chair

-Canada, under Harper, through the Malaysian state-owned enterprise Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) secured an direct investment of US$36 billion to develop shale gas assets in Canada and build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal for export to Asia.

– In February 2014, Stephen Harper signed the longest weapons contract in Canada’s history with Saudi Arabia
– Ottawa under Harper is contractually obliged to keep secret the details of a controversial $15-billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia – a transaction that Stephen Harper personally assured the country’s monarch will be guaranteed by the Canadian government
