Rename Calgary Airport after Stephen Harper: SIGN OUR PETITION!

So Toronto’s main airport is named after a Liberal prime minister, Lester Pearson. And Montreal’s main airport is named a liberal Prime minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau.

So what’s Calgary’s airport called? It’s the third busiest in Canada.

Well, it doesn’t have a name. It’s called the Calgary International Airport, or YYC, its call letters.

I have an idea. Why don’t we call it the Stephen Harper International Airport?

He’s been a major figure in Calgary for more than 20 years. First elected as an MP in 1993. United the right; beat the Liberals three times. Helped change the country. Not everyone in Canada loves him. Not everyone loved Pearson or Trudeau either, but in their home towns, it was enough to name their airport.

I say we start a petition. Click here, or visit www. Harper Airport dot ca. We’ll collect the petition and take it to the Calgary Airport Authority, and the incoming Transport Minister. Let’s get thousands of signatures.

Harper not about the money or the selfies. He probably is against this initiative — he’s no media-hound like Justin Trudeau. But for the rest of us, I think it’s a fitting tribute. Every time we fly in or out of Calgary, the most entrepreneurial city in Canada, we’ll be reminded that for nine years it helped set the tone for the country, it spread Calgary values like hard work and personal responsibility and humility across Canada. I think it’s a great idea.

Join me — by clicking here, or visiting Harper Airport dot ca and let’s do this one thing for the man who did so much for Canada.
