Yes, but the surpluses were shrinking before the recession - meaning that once you implement stimulus (which they didn't want to do, but they had a minority at the time and were forced) the deficits created are larger than otherwise.

The thing you fail to realize is that's what's happening. Harper was elected out of anger towards the sponsorship scandal. Having control of a country without median voter support is an inherently unstable position, and now the spring is pulling back.
