[@johnwells8093]

No disrespect to Pierre but think of what Canada would look like if Harper was in power for the last 10 years, I really think it would be a polar opposite of what we see today. So they can blame Harper all they want but Canadians will take it a lot different than what the Liberals think it will hurt them more in the end!
