No. Stephen Harper was chosen as leader by the Conservative Party of Canada and appointed as Prime Minister by the Governor General. The Conservative Party has had the most seats in House of Commons since 2006 - and a majority of the seats since 2011 - which is why their leader gets to be Prime Minister. The House of Commons is elected by the people of Canada.

How did Stephen Harper become the prime minister of Canada?

As a teenager Stephen Harper was a member of the Liberal Party, but he became upset with Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and his handling of the Canadian energy crisis in the 1970's/80's. Harper switched parties and eventually ended up working for the Reform Party as their Chief Policy Officer. It's speculative, but I'd imagine the reason he got into politics was the reason many people do: they don't like the current state of affairs, and they want to change it.
