Economic performance and policy during the Harper years - Policy Options policyoptions.irpp.org/magazin Mostly so I can find it again later.

““During the period of the #Harper government (2006-15), real #GDP growth was markedly slower than during the preceding 22 years (table 1, row 1), a result of the sharp recession that occurred from the fourth quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2009, and of the period of sluggish recovery that followed.” #CanPoli

Policy OptionsEconomic performance and policy during the Harper years - Policy OptionsThis is an expanded version of a chapter in The Harper Factor: Assessing a Prime Minister’s Policy Legacy, edited by Jennifer Ditchburn and Graham Fox.

"He’s been deferential to incoming U.S. president Donald Trump and tech CEO Elon Musk, even as the two threaten Canadian sovereignty.

But Poilievre’s mentor is Stephen Harper, who led the Conservative party to successive election victories in the 2000s, relying mostly on his record as a responsible steward of Canada’s economy. Poilievre was an MP under Harper for 11 years."

Next week is going to get ugly.
A reminder from Frank Graves at EKOS research

“I want to remind everyone that is concerned with election malfeasance that the Conservatives almost certainly won the 2011 majority using vote suppression (Robo scandal) No pollster predicted the majority. Judge Moseley didnt annul the election but he did find that "fraud occurred"

The “pencils at the ballot box” disinformation campaign is just an appetizer.

Harper returns in attempt to make Poilievre look charismatic #TheBeaverton thebeaverton.com/2025/04/harpe 🥇 “Former #PrimeMinister Stephen #Harper appeared at a Pierre #Poilievre campaign rally this week, in an attempt to make the current Conservative leader appear human and likeable by comparison.

With Poilievre’s poll numbers flagging, Conservative insiders invited Harper onstage in an attempt to suck so much energy out of the room that the current candidate might actually appear warm and lively.”

Welcome to my rabbit hole! The Harper and PP show in #YEG the other night surfaced (in my stomach and brain) the “Barbaric Cultural Practices Tip line” campaign promise. The good news is the smart folks at University of Toronto have been archiving “Canadian Political Parties and Interest Groups” since 2005.

Harper first chose Mark Carney, not Pierre Poilievre. “Stephen Harper appointed me governor of the Bank Canada. We — I — worked closely with the late and great Jim Flaherty during the financial crisis. I note that Pierre Poilievre was not at any of those tables, was not given any of that responsibility, and note further that in subsequent years he has not gained any responsibility in managing crises or difficult situations.” PM Mark Carney #harper #poilievre #carney #vote thestar.com/politics/federal/p

@OhOkKay @GottaLaff Thanks. Poilievre was a good student of Harper’s. What happened under Harper was the beginning of the end of Canada, as I know it. It took a while, but we —the Canadian people— got rid of that malignancy. Now it’s time to remember, and do it again.
ps. Poilievre and the Cons are NOT conservatives in the Canadian tradition. They are fascists. We are watching what that means, in practice, for USA
