Like great-great-grandfather, like great-great-grandson: Stephen Harper’s first Canadian progenitor was mean and small-minded, abused his powers of office, and had neighbours who so hated him that they burned down his house, forcing him to take refuge for two years in a nearby fort.

This according to an amateur genealogy laid out in a Globe and Mail column. Good read!
