Yeah but production will be spread out to fifty states and the first prototype won't be ready until 2050. It will only be able to transport a minimum load of oil at room temp and require 10000000000 hours of maintenance for every one hour in operation.

Harper has never been a businessman. He's been on the Canadian equivalent of wingnut welfare ever since he graduated from university. First he was an assistant to Preston Manning, who is kind of like the Canadian equivalent of Newt Gingrich (not a perfect comparison but basically he's the early 1990s guy who really pushed neoconservatism in the legislature). Then he was an MP for the Reform Party (Manning's political party, imagine a Canadian version of the Tea Party that destroyed and then absorbed the Republicans over the course of a decade). Then after a term as an MP Harper worked for the National Citizens Coalition, which is basically the Canadian equivalent of the Heritage Foundation. And then became the leader of the newly formed Conservative party, go re-elected as an MP, and went on to become Prime Minister in 2006. He hasn't spent any extended amount of time in the private sector during his adult life, he's always either drawn a salary from a corporate funded think tank or from the government.

The best explanation I can give for Harper is this. Whereas Americans want their conservatives leaders to be folksy southerners or genial Hollywood actors who seem unpretentious and who project a sort of hilariously overcompensating faux masculinity, Canadians seem to prefer a conservative who looks like a Wal Mart manager, talks like an accountant and has the eyes of a child rapist. I don't particularly know why Americans want their neoliberal medicine administer by a fake populist and Canadians want it to come from a robotic accountant but there you have it.
