What were your major disappointments with PM Harper?

- That he united two feuding, fractious parties and led Conservatives to their longest period in power since Sir John A. MacDonald?

- That he handled the Quebec situation so deftly that separatism is on life support there and the CPC got its highest seat total (15) in Quebec in 2015 (since the Mulroney years)?

- That Canada in his era consistently ranked top 5 and often top one as the world's most admired, respected, open, tolerant, free and democratic country?

- That he guided Canada through the Great Recession and the 5 turbulent years after as the top economic and fiscal performer in the G 7?

- That he reduced federal taxes as a % of GDP to their lowest since 1963?

- That despite Liberal and NDP pressure to go further into deficit in 2009/10, he resisted and guided the country back to a balanced budget by 2015?

- That he was not educated in snowboarding?

- Please enlighten we yahoos who admired Harper and his record.
