it could be argued that Harper's government insulated us from the 2008 economic crisis.
It was liberals that created the Bank of Canada controlled interest rate system and it was reinforced by Libs in 2000 thankfully when Chretien was in charge before 2008 which gave harper the power to push BOC to adjust the rates which shielded us from the debt crisis a bit.
And in fact almost all super powers now use the exact same system that Canadian Liberals pioneered for controlling interest rates.
So I guess he happened to be the leader and was able to execute a plan to save the economy just as the Liberals that created the system envisioned. Good job.
