Brown, a successful insurance agent who strongly opposed public health insurance—medicare. In response to what he perceived to be excessive government spending in Canada, Brown had begun an advertisement campaign in 1967.[1] Its slogan is “More freedom through less government.” campaigns against public sector unions and in favour of smaller government and lower taxes.[2]: 197–206
From 1998 to 2002, the president of the group was Stephen Harper, who served as the 22nd prime minister of Canada from 2006 to 2015.
