Stephen Harper’s legacy in government may be nastiness: Hébert

[CHIMO]

MONTREAL—It is not necessary to espouse the opposition mantra that Canadians deserve better than what Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have been delivering to find that many voters did expect better on election night 2011.

That starts with those who bridged the gap to a Conservative governing majority by switching their vote to Harper in that election. At mid-mandate, polls suggest most of them feel they have been let down .

The latest voting intentions sounding — done by Harris/Decima for The Canadian Press earlier this week — shows the Conservatives in second place, seven points behind the Liberals and more than 10 points down from their 2011 level.

A widespread attraction for the latest shiny object in the federal leadership window is boosting the Liberal score. But Justin Trudeau is also reaping what Harper so assiduously sowed over the first half of his majority mandate.

1. It will be nastiness, and a far right that is beyond what most Canadians are comfortable with.

2. IMO Harper is a perfect Teabagger Republican

Thank almighty God that the majority of Canadians find that position on the political spectrum unpalatable!

From my position on the political spectrum, the Harpercons are ridiculously small and far away.
