To me Harper was a modern day Diefenbaker, great opposition leader crummy PM. Only I too thought Harper did far better as a minority pm. Once he got a Majority he totally let the voting public down.

Hey, they're providing humor by getting so steamed up about a comedian mocking a politician.

This CBC Hack Comedian thinks it's funny to mock Harper being thrown into a closet during the Terrorist attack on Parliament, a Terrorist attack where more innocent people could have died. If this happens again Trudeau better be thrown in a closet because protecting the Prime Minister regardless of what political party he or she is from is vital.

Idiots like him, and his leftie fan base, have no fucking clue what a protective detail job is, nor the actions that are to be taken when the subject is potentially in grave danger.

Leftist Trolls wouldn't think the Terrorist Attack on Parliament was a joke if it was Trudeau being thrown into the closet for his protection.

But Trudeau would have already solved the world wide problem with Islam by strategic distribution of hugs and brand-new running shoes so the the Parliament Hill shooting wouldn't have happened at all if he'd been in charge.

[raydan]

You need a hug right now, don't you?

[Thanos]

More like a beer. Or twelve.

[raydan]

If you had the hug, you wouldn't need the beer... cost's less, too.

I don't care what you and Brah are saying. If this had been Trudeau, I know that you 2 would be laughing your heads off at this one.

I also know that both of you will say that's not true.


Either way, it's a win for me.

Wrong Ray. I know what protective duty entails and the protocols are. The lefties who think that Harper hid are both ignorant and fucking hacks. They've been saying this, and believing it, since it happened.
And with your comment about what I'd say above I'll lump you together with Andy and Beaver as a no-nothing.

[raydan]

Bruins' fan.







One other thing, of course Harper was hiding but that's OK... that's what he's supposed to do... Protocol. Nothing wrong with that.

Before his first term I would have voted liberal (actually strategically vote NDP). I was a huge Paul Martin supporter. There was a lot of pain, but our country ended up in the best financial and economic position in 50 years under his various Federal cabinet roles.

First term gave me enough faith to vote for him a second term. His only real failing point was reducing the GST, which I seriously hope Trudeau has the balls to fix.

Second term left me begrudgingly voting for him, as the Liberals weren't a better options.

After his third term, I spoiled my ballot. I'm in the most conservative riding in the country, and there was no independent to vote for.

That's not true because he's the Prime Minister and needs to be protected and I will always be thankful he saved us from Angry Tom.

I "experienced" 13 armed robberies at my workplace, I know what hiding is all about.

I find it really curious how both so many of people on this thread agree that Harper's performance went downhill once he got a majority government, including me. Ironically, he performed better with the Opposition keeping him on a leash.

Incidentally, as I've said elsewhere Stephen Harper is the poor man's John Diefenbaker. Both men accomplished a lot of good on various bread-and-butter issues (Diefenbaker nailed it on agricultural reform, gave us our first human rights legislation, opened up new markets for Canadian agriculture, gave Indigenous people the right to vote without abandoning their Treaty rights or status, instituted a colour-blind immigration policy) but they both failed in their larger, long-term goals.

The key difference is that Diefenbaker's failures, such as they were, didn't really come back to haunt Canada the way I think Harper's failures will. We're no further ahead in getting pipelines built, relations with our Indigenous peoples are as polarized as ever, Parliament's role in keeping governments more accountable is even more debased, our tax system is even more of a mess, and the Senate is still a dog's breakfast, as Roger Gibbins and Loleen Berdahl once put it.

And no, I don't know if Justin Trudeau is capable of fixing all this. He may have inherited Pierre's charisma, but I have yet to really see him display Pierre's intellect.
