comparing american presidents is for babies, they're all terrible.

expand your horizon and try to decide which canadian prime minister is worse.

The Rt. Hon. Stephen J Harper


- extremely pro-israel
- Said in the above image "Something you might not know about me is that I love movies and TV shows"
- his final campaign one of his ministers announced a "barbaric cultural practices tip line"
- set up an arms trade deal with saudi arabia
- prorogued parliament as a scandal broke about afghan detainee treatment, trailblazing a path that would be used much later by the UK
- muzzled government scientists
- gutted the census in order to hamstring governance
- tried to cover up senator expenses by cutting them a cheque
- government was found in contempt of parliament; won a majority government anyway
- christ there's so much bullshit i completely forgot



The Rt. Hon. Justin "PJ" Trudeau

- failson
- has done blackface more times than he can remember in the 21st century
- the above picture was part of his trip to india
- former drama teacher
- tried to strong arm his (first nation) attorney general into not prosecuting a friendly corporation
- he is listening and ready to reconciliation with first nations so long as you don't sue the canadian government over your treatment as a child
- insisted on buying a pipeline that alberta wants; everyone in alberta hates him anyway
- Sunny Ways
- insisted the government must stick to its trade deal, thereby providing material support for Saudi Arabia's brutal war in Yemen
- some other dumb poo poo like shoving a female MP during parliament to get them to vote faster

feel free to add stuff ive definitely forgotten, there's so much more.

Harper was worse but I will never forget Trudeau promising to do voter reform and then giving up after a single internet survey because it would be too hard.

ah yes, who can forget the Formula

if Harper had been born in the US we'd already be living in the fallout wasteland, he is a deeply evil loving sociopath and among the worst world leaders of his era, that he isn't remembered as such is more a testament to how apathetic and blase Canada is than any endorsement of him as a leader or human being

he was extremely successful at maintaining strict party discipline so none of the social conservative backbenchers ever dared speak out about their weird hosed up views which really amplified people's views of harper as extremely banal, even as the guy was coming up with creative ways to enact those views through defunding programs and breaking the civil service's ability to function

Harper literally is the relatively intelligent purestrain psychopath fascist President that Americans are afraid of coming in the wake of Trump, and he did it with typical Canadian flair in ugly suits and bland faux-professional speech

Trudeau is just a dumbass rich kid shitlib

true, but then again trudeau's done basically nothing to fix any of the damage harper has caused and instead taken advantage of it wherever possible
