While I'm not a Harper fan, and I do agree he is overly vilified. I compare him to Luongo those that like him think he's drastically better than he is. Those that don't think he's drastically worse than he is.
The thing with him being blamed for EVERYTHING is that he's so controlling of his party, and its people that when something goes wrong he takes the blame as his staff and cabinet and MPs don't have much of a voice without Harper's approval.
