I’m happy to look at any data you have on how these policies negatively affected the economy, if you have it.

Yes Canada performed very well relatively during this period.
Its one of the reasons Mark Carney is so respected in the financial world. He deservedly gets most of the credit as it was more the monetary policy than the fiscal policy that helped Canada succeed. I can't believe he is ruining his political future in this country by hitching to the JT mess.
I think minority Harper was a perfectly decent PM. Nothing special, but nothing terrible, he kept his government alive by ensuring he governed to the centre. Majority Harper was a policy trainwreck.
