Give it a few minutes and Toby will come along with his usual:
Thanks to Mr Harper and his CPC team! 😉
The Huffington Post, an American tabloid extraordinaire.

valve - you can do better than that. This is typical small "c" conservative partisan politics: you do not like the message, attack the messenger. 😞 That is a shameful attitude and you can do better than that.

Or take your pick on Google. You will find lots of links to the same story. Will you attack every messenger?
Harper is like a man who owns (or has control of) a home. On the outside it’s beautiful for all to see as they pass by. On the inside however the walls are collapsing, the floors are rotting and the foundation is being under minded. What Harper shows is all façade, all fake.
Harper is an egotist and narcissist who from the day he walked into the mail room at Imperial Oil his main goal was to take care of himself and fulfill his needs and wants. Entering into politics his main goal was to become #1 in Canada and maybe even beyond through the acclaim of others (however others with much more experience always have seen through him). Canada was easy, just a matter of the Liberals totally messing up and he was a shoe in because of the sad simplistic system we have. But even then…..no one really trusted him. To his luck the Liberals never came up with a viable candidate and so eventually he got his majority, but even then not a strong public one.
Harper always aimed for the short sighted and the narrow minded, the right winged religious right (who aren’t right), the lost children of western movies who love their guns because they are all they have to support their manhood and the angry little dictators who live their lives, anger, hopes, resentments, bigotry and even racism through him. If they can’t be what they want to be in neon lights then they’ll settle for being the cheerleaders in the background.
We need to bring back the Canada that was optimistic, daring, intelligent, democratic and just, with a leader who even though he may have his or her faults, they’re open to the people and honest.
Time to fix the heart of our home and get rid of the occupant of the house…..and he can take his hall full of personal photos and his dresser with him.
"I think it is quite clear by a multitude of Conservative policies - from muzzling scientists, forbidding anyone in the military, or anyone in the government at any level, from making public statements, right through to forbidding their candidates from participating in all-candidates meetings and forbidding their own Conservative Members of Parliament from making statements in the House of Commons and so forth."
That is quite true.
However, I agree with cats1953 that your earlier comment "Canadians who support Harper support censorship" is ill advised and insulting to the millions of Canadians who voted for a candidate of the CPC in the last election.
Voting for a candidate or a party does not mean one supports every policy suggested by its leadership.
valve - that is one side of the lefget. The other:
"The ratio of Canadian household debt to disposable income rose to another record last quarter, calling into question Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney’s assertion that families are listening to his warnings about the risks of borrowing too much.
Credit-market debt such as mortgages rose to 165.0% of disposable income, compared with 164.7% in the prior three-month period, Statistics Canada said Friday in Ottawa."
"National net worth rose 1% to $6.87 trillion in the fourth quarter, Statistics Canada said. On a per capita basis the increase was to $195,900 from $194,300.
Households’ credit market debt, which includes mortgages, consumer credit and loans, rose by $14.7 billion in the quarter, about half the increase seen in the third, Statscan said."
and so on.
