He has however introduced reforms limiting Canadian gun control laws and may be able to implement a more conservative set of policies if his party wins re-election with a majority of the seats in the Canadian parliament. | Although Mr. Harper is a member of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a conservative evangelical Christian group, he has not reintroduced captial punishment, sent Canadian troops to Iraq or banned gay marriage.
