Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper votes Kyle Lowry for All-Star Game
The Toronto Raptors are the only NBA team in Canada and, as the popular "We the North" campaign suggests, Canadians stick together in their support for the Raptors.
Said support even extends to the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, who advocated for point guard Kyle Lowry's inclusion in the 2015 All-Star Game on Twitter.
Canadian basketball fans should get behind @Klow7, who deserves to be an NBA All Star. #NBABallot #wethenorth

Lowry, who was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month in December, is certainly enjoying an All-Star worthy campaign. Lowry leads the 24-10 Raptors in points (20.6), assists (7.6) and steals per game (1.6).
Most impressively, Lowry has managed to keep the Raptors' offense humming at a league-best rate throughout star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan's absence.
