Stephen Harper Date Of Birth: April 30, 1959 – Famous April Birthdays, Stephen Joseph Harper, PC MP (born April 30, 1959) is the 22nd and current Prime Minister of Canada and leader of the Conservative Party. Harper became prime minister when his party formed a minority government after the 2006 federal election. He is the first prime minister from the newly reconstituted Conservative Party, following a merger of the Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance parties.

Harper has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for the riding of Calgary Southwest in Alberta since 2002. Earlier, from 1993 to 1997, he was the MP for Calgary West. He was one of the founding members of the Reform Party, but did not seek re-election, and instead joined, and shortly thereafter led, the National Citizens Coalition.

In 2002, he succeeded Stockwell Day as leader of the Canadian Alliance (the successor to the Reform Party) and returned to parliament as Leader of the Opposition. In 2003, he reached an agreement with Progressive Conservative leader Peter MacKay for the merger of their two parties to form the Conservative Party of Canada. He was elected as the party’s first non-interim leader in March 2004.

Larry And Shawn King Call Off Divorce

Larry And Shawn King Call Off Divorce, Larry King and wife Shawn Southwick have officially called off their divorce.

The pair, who filed for divorce in April amid rumors of infidelity (he with her sister, Shannon Engemann, she with the kids’ baseball coach Hector Penate), appeared to reconcile shortly thereafter and have now filed to dismiss their divorce papers, according to TMZ.

King, who is stepping down from CNN’s “Larry King Live” after 25 years, said in his announcement that he looks forward to spending more time with his wife and their two sons.

Shawn overdosed on prescription drugs last month in Utah in what may have been a suicide attempt — according to the AP, she left at least two notes, one indicating that she took the pills intentionally and another expressing her desire to be buried in Utah.

Larry King And Shawn King, Larry King and wife Shawn King have not withdrawn their divorce petitions … and we’re told the tipping point is money.

People familiar with the situation tell us nothing is going to happen while Shawn recovers from what may have been a suicide attempt. But before that crisis, we’re told one of Larry’s lawyers presented a proposal to Shawn’s lawyer to undo an agreement he signed several years ago … in which he signed over all 3 of their houses to her.

Larry signed the document after Shawn accused him of sleeping with her sister.

And, we’re told, one of Larry’s lawyers — not Dennis Wasser — submitted a proposal for a new division of property that did not sit well with Shawn.

As one source says, “It will come down to striking a deal on the money issues.”
