Well let's see how Mr Inclusive does before you ring the church bells shall we?

Funny how people view Harper as some sort of Hitler.

It's odd you were upset with him day 1.

That implies you were quite prejudiced against him and no matter what he did you would have been unsatisfied.

Yeah. I didn't vote Conservative, but the hyperbole over Harper during this election was just ridiculous. I guess people just have a need to be dramatic.

Screw that crap, I hate that article and everyone involved with it.

And at the end of the day Harper did what he did as best he could, lets just thank him for his service and move along and hope that Justin can do even better.

Man, I'd hate to be in public office.

I never like what he did as Mp when I lived in the Calgary South West riding either. I didn't trust him in 2002 and everything I feared came to life.

So long, and thanks for the cats.



While I did not agree with some of the far-right leanings of the conservative base, he had a very stable and successful tenure. He was an intelligent and graceful speaker, and he did an amazing job to unite the fractured right. I was taught by people in his academic circle and a part of me will always respect Harper's vision and legacies.

He was both a great Prime Minister and also a dorky old white guy that liked cats, playing piano, and wrote books on hockey. The vilification has always seemed absurd to me. The prejudiced views of his opponents often strongly reflected their own political ignorance.

Go ahead . Your free to do so. It is half out of happiness and half as a "o by they way" thing.

Dear OP, why don't you regale us with a few stories of how terrible your life has been since Feb 6, 2006.

For sure. Glad I was able to stay away from the roaming death squads and thought police.

Phew.

He was a very strange looking man. Amongst strange looking men he was the strangest.

Just not a photogenic human.

Which is odd because I think if aliens invaded we could fend them off with his perfect hair. I think his hair is made of adamantium.

Haper is pure evil. If you hate him as much as I do, you will voluntarily pay 7% GST on all your purchases and pay the tax you save on TFSA to charities.
