Former prime minister Stephen Harper resigned his seat in the House of Commons on Friday, ending a career in politics that spanned over two decades.
Harper announced he was stepping down as MP for the riding of Calgary Heritage in a statement and video posted to his social media channels.
“On seven occasions, I have been deeply humbled by your trust and support, time and again. And I leave elected office proud of what our team accomplished together,” he said.
