Before becoming Prime Minister in 2006, Stephen Harper was the Member of Parliament for Calgary Southwest since 2002, and the MP for Calgary West from 1993-1997. He was one of the Founding Members of the Reform Party, and became the leader of its successor, the Canadian Alliance in 2002. The Canadian Alliance merged with the Progressive Conservative Party in 2003, forming the Conservative Party of Canada. Harper was elected leader of the Conservative Party in 2004.

In his young life, Harper worked at Imperial Oil, first in the mail room, then on the company's computer systems.
