And however you try to whitewash it, the Harper government increased Canada's public debt by over 150 billion during its term. But of course the right wing only remembers when a centre or left wing government goes into debt.
At least Trudeau went into debt to maintain services, while services and programs were chip chip chipped away under Harper. Blame Trudeau all you want, but he and his government are way way more popular than the Scheer Conservatives, who almost elected looney-right wing Maxime Bernier,  the biker chick's beau,  as leader.
