Recently immigrated to Canada, and I was wondering why does everyone hate Harper so much?

Every time the name comes up people talk like he's the modern Hitler, but every time I ask for a reason they just say 'ugh I don't know he was just bad'.

So maybe you guys could enlighten me.

I'd love to hear from both sides.

He got voted out because the oil and other commodity prices fell, and people thought taking in only 10,000 refugees, banning the niqab and banning polygamy and female circumcision was bad.

>banning female circumcision and biquab was bad
Canadians seemed pretty feminist to me, huh.

Also could you explain why it was his fault for the oil and shit?

It wasn't his fault, it was clearly out of his control, he just played a dirty campaign centered around refugees and the niqab, and people saw Obama 2.0 in Trudeau and voted for him instead.

Also, a lot of people in Atlantic Canada voted for Trudeau because they didn't like the reforms made to unemployment insurance made by the Conservatives.

Harper was great. But we live in a time where if someone is leader long enough (8 years) people forget the good and focus on the bad. Muh Harper being bad became a nation wide meme because people were tired of the same person, so they went with the opposite of Harper in the most recent election.

I voted Harper 3 times, but I'm okay with him not being elected because I understand some change should be made. I respect what he did as a leader and miss him, but Trudeau, as stupid as he can be in his comments and focuses does have some good ideas. Mainly in regards to spending more into the economy, and more care for seniors, both of which I'm 100% for. Legalisation of weed I think is good, even though I don't smoke myself, but more tax dollars help.

Take this to /pol/. This thread doesn't belong on /int/, especially a shitty troll thread.

Because you're obviously not an immigrant, and you're baiting for replies.

Harper was a decent PM. However we needed new leadership.

Distortion.


He got voted out because his economic plan was lopsided and focused on resources without much of a plan for anything else.


That alone wouldn't have cost him the election, but he also passed a deeply unpopular terrorism bill that was criticized both from the right and left and statist and oppressive.


He was right wing, but not the pro-freedom anti-state kind.

He was right wing, the centralized power and zero transparency kind.
