HARPER: "He has no idea what he's talking about."

How true this was. I commended JT for being honest about running a deficit as the government was running them every year. He said “$10B”, which lined up with previous deficits. You can imagine my shock when his first deficit came in around $40B. Harper was right.

It was so nice having a leader who wasn't full blown financially illiterate.

Wow... It's almost like Harper was psychic!

This clip aged well.

Alas, Canadians wanted marijuana.

Imagine selling out your entire country for a bag of weed.

To all the people that didn't believe Harper was the choice over Trudeau...watch this today....believe me now? 🙄

Canadians traded a statesman for a skidmark.

Canadians need to start thinking about where we came from, where we have been, where we are are, and then decide what we want the future to be.

It's going to be painful getting out of this. The public service sector is bloated and many will lose incomes to rebalance the budget. We need to, in effect, manufacture a self-imposed recession to punch our way out of a depression. More pain to follow, but better days ahead.
