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.

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?
Harper cut taxes to his rich buddies and then hid it for 8 years by literally selling off the government's assets and closing departments. One of the penultimate choises was to shut down the primary coast guard base for the entire port of Vancouver. The 2nd largest port in North America behind LA.
He also allowed the CCP to steal 5G tech from Nortel that happens to be how China leapfrogged to modern tech. They stole it all from Canada.
I have worked with Huawei infrastructure equipment a bit (before they were banned).
They also stole quite a bit from Ericsson and Nokia. Its pretty clear when you look at them side by side.
Thought the Nortel influence is also very obvious.
