Canada’s 22nd Prime Minister, Stephen J Harper, was the featured speaker at the South Palm Beach County 2019 AIPAC Annual Event.
Harper spoke about the US Israel and Canada Israel relationships characterizing them as family.
In his book, Right Here, Right Now: Politics and Leadership in the Age of Disruption, Harper draws on a decade of experience as a G-7 leader to help leaders in business and government understand, adapt, and thrive in an age of unprecedented disruption.
“He sets out a pragmatic, forward-looking vision for leaders in business and politics by analyzing how economic, social, and public policy trends–including globalized movements of capital, goods and services, and labor–have affected our economies, communities, and governments.”
