That's not what I said at all. The Conservatives originally rejected the proposed economic action plan that they now take credit for. So yes, the federal government handled it well, but to claim that somehow Harper has a good track record of handling recessions is absurd. Without the opposition parties threatening to form a coalition government, many of those measures wouldn't have passed.
And there were warnings as early as 2006 that an economic collapse was coming.
