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.

    Huh? That chart looks fine for Harper — the 2008 financial crisis really wasn’t his fault — and quite bad for Trudeau, if we assume that it’s accurate, that it’s representative of something meaningful, and that everything else that happens in Canada is to be blamed on whoever’s prime minister at the time. I’m guessing it’s that last assumption that might be wrong and the break into a downtrend in 2015 started as a result of something that changed a few years earlier, but who knows.

      I’m speaking about the chart and how it’s simplistically presented because Pierre isn’t exactly one for context nor has he ever factored in how things has changed around the world after 2020.

      And for people looking for a real information for this data. Statistics Canada did a analysis last year during the GDPP craze and part of it was industrial investment how government policy played a substantial role in it.

      And since people keep bringing it up Harper led Canada into 2 recessions 2008 and 2015.
