The aim of this paper is to analyze the discourse of politicians across cultures, by looking at American President Obama and Former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and their discourse as politicians depending on identity and grammar. The reason behind choosing this topic of interest is to learn if politicians portray a certain identity based on the role they are being.
