Since #Harper is trending, let me take this opportunity to remind everyone that 🇨🇦 is still paying a heavy price for the decade of darkness from his #CPC.

#Conservatives self-servingly claim he’s long gone from office & it’s ridiculous to invoke him. Wrong. #cdnpoli

There are too many acts of corruption, malice, subterfuge, fraud & blind ideology to possibly list in a Twitter thread. So I’ll just bring up some highlights.

1st. Harper’s secret #FIPA with China, where he sold 🇨🇦 out & tied the hands of all future Cdn governments for 31 years.

Then there was Harper & #CPC selling 🇨🇦’s Wheat Board to a conglomerate controlled by the Saudis. #cdnpoli

Then there was how disastrous Harper was on the economy. Starving 🇨🇦 of infrastructure investments, botched recovery, giant trade deficits, on top of selling off public assets, all of which left an expensive decade of deficit & backlog for the next gov’t to clean up. #cdnpoli

Then there’s Stephen Harper’s activities after leaving office. Like his continued influence behind the scenes in 🇨🇦 & undermining democracy around the world through the authoritarian-loving ironically named #IDU.

More China…. #CPC #StephenHarper #cdnpoli

I’m attaching this thread by @mini_bubbly here because it compiles a long list of #CPC scandals, violations, fraud etc. Terrifyingly, it is not an exhaustive list. #cdnpoli #cdnecon #StephenHarper
