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.

Lately?
Was slightly confused by what you ment. But I think I can understand.
Cretian increased capital investment relative to the US, Harper kept it mostly constant but fell at the end but then Trudeau had it fall harder.
Carney is low right now. The last downturn due to tariffs. . They’re all neoliberal though.
I think with this term of Trump, Conservatives realized they were actually spending to much effort rage baiting previously.
If this was last year they would have just chopped off the chart at Trudeau and just showed a line going downwards, now they include the full datasets and people literally won’t look a couple centimeters to the left to figure out they’re getting scammed.
I’m just amazed that Pierre knows what a graph looks like. I really thought all he was capable of was catchy one liners.
“babe, wake up, a new verb the noun dropped!”
Pretty certain he just reposted it because he saw someone rage baiting Carney.
It’s the same as him saying CBC is propaganda then turning around reposting them when they’re pointing something negative about the Liberals.
As a non Canadian, can someone tell me what Harper was like, and what he did to halt your industry growth? Or was it just that the recession hit in ~2008 and they had no recovery plans?
Canada was almost unaffected by the 2008 crisis. Harper was a hardline old-school conservative. I don’t remember everything, but I remember he favoured tax cuts for those who needed them the least and the fossil fuel industry, he tried his darndest to kill all government-funded science, and he really hated CBC/Radio-Canada, a state-funded media group, and reduced their funding significantly.
If Trump is emotional, chaotic evil, Harper is smart, calculated evil.
Harper doesn’t deserve to be compared to Trump like that. Harper is dislikable and definitely conservative, but his actions don’t hold a candle to Trump’s. Trump is evil.
Happy to be proven wrong, I don’t remember everything either.
He also rebranded it the Harper Government in all government ads and communications.

He took all funds and was only interested in western gas and oil, nothing else. So he put the entire economy of a country in the hands of a commodity controlled by a foreign cartel. He then left Canada to work for that cartel.
He had to run twice, because he’s a loser. Small PP syndrome
pp’s comment doesn’t even make too much sense. Does he think people believe that governments can change the course of literal macroeconomic trends in just less than a year, and especially in the face of an aggressive economic threat from a large trading partner?
Oh wait. His supporters would believe that.
Fuck off pp
Ok I don’t understand the y axis of this graph. Is that in percentage?
If you look in the top corner, it is percentage of 1980 levels. I’m not sure what “volumes” refers to here, though.
Well yeah, I feel like using percentages against US and Canadian markets doesnt give a truthful comparison of the two.
It’s better than absolute size, at least, and you can see they often do just follow each other.
You know they looked through graphs until they found some obscure weird one with a negative-seeming feature at 2015, though. Trudeau may or may not have been related. And the most recent dip is definitely going to end up with a recession bar in the future.
