Loyal to the Core: Stephen Harper, Me and the NCC
Gerry Nicholls
Freedom Press
$34.95
Widely regarded as one of Canada's top five political minds, Gerry Nicholls is also this country’s most outspoken and articulate defenders of conservatism. For more than 20 years, he served as the political and communications strategist for the grassroots conservative organization National Citizens Coalition. For five of those years, Nicholls worked closely with the group’s president, a man who would go on to become Canada’s Prime Minister — Stephen Harper.
Now, in his first book, Loyal to the Core, Nicholls reveals the story of how he went from being a friend and close ally of Harper to one of his most fierce and unrelenting critics. Nicholls provides a frank assessment of Stephen Harper the man and Stephen Harper the leader, tracing his evolution from an uncompromising principled conservative to a "pragmatic" politician.
Loyal to the Core is also a story of secret political meetings, clashing personalities and the lure of power. In addition to a candid portrait of Harper, Nicholls offers an unauthorized history of the National Citizens Coalition, Canada’s largest independent, free market advocacy organization. Who created this unique advocacy group and why? How did this organization, using political guerrilla warfare tactics, help change the face of Canada?
Read how the NCC fought to expose government waste and oppose arrogant politicians, how it battled both in the court of law and the court of public opinion to protect our most cherished individual freedoms.
But most of all, Loyal to the Core is a cautionary tale for Canada’s conservative movement. Principled conservatives must, says Nicholls, “resist the corrosive influence of partisan politics and focus on what matters: winning the war of ideas!”
