Of course we should have kept Harper.  There is absolutely no change in the tactics of the governing party, the only difference is in outcomes.  Stephen Harper and the Conservatives at least knew how to shepherd the economy, they had the best interests of Canadians at heart, they were respected on the world stage, they didn't drive our dollar into the dollarettes we have today, they supported our productive centres such as energy and manufacturing, they knew how to negotiate internationally . . . I could go on.  But you get the idea: Harper accomplished everything that Trudeau is now failing at.
