As a pretty conservative voter, I feel the Harper conservatives were poor for the country's long term economics.

Their lead on the environment and pipelines is likely something that will impact Canada for decades to come.

I simply cannot get behind ideologically supported arguments against science, information and data, and am not prepared to sweep these things under the rug in an attempt to preserve Harper's legacy.

It is simply indefensible to muzzle Canada's scientists and restrict the Canadian public's access to information. All other negative aspects of Harper's tenure aside, I don't think you can give an honest appraisal of his government without specificly mentioning these negative aspects.

Those that want to pretend like those things didn't happen to me are hopeless ideologues.

You simply can't run a country effectively when operating without the necessary information/data to govern. Full stop.
