OTTAWA — In a fundraising e-mail to Conservative supporters, Prime Minister
Stephen Harper’s son Ben urges the country to vote for his dad.
For much — if not most — of Ben’s life, his family home has been at 24 Sussex. And in this election, the 19-year-old Queen’s University student was eligible for the first time to cast a ballot.
“I voted for the first time in this election,” Ben Harper wrote in an e-mail blast that his dad’s party sent out Sunday to tens of thousands of Conservative supporters. “And I’m excited that my first ballot will count for my dad.”
While his parents were planning to vote in dad’s constituency of Calgary Heritage, it was not immediately clear where Ben cast his ballot.
Ben could have voted in advance polls or in a mail-in ballot. The Conservatives did not respond to questions about where or how he voted.
The prime minister’s official residence is in the riding of Ottawa Centre, currently held by New Democrat Paul Dewar.
Ben Harper, like every post-secondary student, could also have decided to vote in the riding where he is attending university. Queen’s University is in the riding of Kingston and the Islands, a riding with no incumbent, but one which has been held by the Liberals for decades.
Ben Harper, in the e-mail, said he voted for his dad not just because of he’s his father, but “it’s that I believe in him ... I’ve had a front-row seat to seeing what this job takes — and I know he’s the only one with the leadership Canada needs.”
The Harpers’ other child, Rachel, is 16 and will have to wait a couple of years before she is eligible to cast a ballot.
