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.

I'll bring it up every time he's mentioned, dude continued exporting this shit after his tenure through the idu (recall him supporting Orban for example), Farage has totally publicly cited Preston Manning and the reform party as influences/models. Don't forget the barbaric cultural practices hotline either, killed the per vote subsidy too.

I recall there being a lot of ties between the Tories and the republicans stateside too, but can't find an article to support.

Legitimately, I think it's a toss up between Manning and Harper as to who's worse, thinking about their damage abroad too. Can also add the treatment of Omar Khadr (which does fall under capitulation to the us, and just general trampling on rights), there's a presser from around the time of the scoc ruling with Poilievre which highlights the Tories constant attacks on the judiciary too.

So much happened in those years it's honestly hard to keep track, Harper should be kryptonite to the Tories like Bob Rae is to some people for the ondp.
