Had a tab open of Pierre’s twitter from last week and saw he actually posted some data instead of a slogan.

Conservative supporters has gotten so stupid lately it’s actually kind of concerning. The chart clearly shows Harper was terrible and by far the best for that metric was Chrétien.

In case anyone forgot the dates.

    He illegally prorogued parliament whem he was about to lose a vote of confidence, setting the stage for Trudeau to do the same fucking thing.

    It wasn’t illegal. There is no law that says when the Prime Minister can prorogue Parliament. The Constitution just gives the Prime Minister the power to prorogue Parliament by asking the Governor General. There probably should be a law on the proroguation of Parliament cause Trumpie has shown how useless unwritten rules are. At least with a law, there would be ways to point how the government of the day is abusing proroguation.

    Did Stephen Harper abuse that power for political purposes? Oh hell yeah, he did.
