"Harper (at the prodding of the Libs) ran up deficits they never eliminated" ?????

Excuse us?

In 2009-10 the minority Conservatives were forced to run a higher deficits than they wanted ($55.6 billion) by the opposition but deficits were drastically reduced each year starting in 2011-12 ($26.3 billion) when they were finally given their majority. 

The Conservatives handed Captain Crayons a $1.9 billion surplus in 2014-15 before he started messing up the country again.
