Trump did not cause Canada’s problems, the liberals did, says Harper
Harper said he worked with Pailievre and Carney in his time as Prime Minister, even after the 2008 financial crisis.
“My choice without a shadow of doubt is Poilievre,” he said in his speech. “I have known him a quarter of a century. He worked hard, fought and learned. He has the political experience.”
Harper questioned Carney’s comments by taking credit for navigating Canada through the financial crisis and recession.
Carney was governor of the Bank of Canada at that time and has realized that experience, as well as his time as governor of the Bank of England during Brexit, as proof of his ability to navigate in crisis.
“I say this as the guy who took Canada through the world financial crisis,” he said. “I heard that there was someone stating that it was him,” Harper added, referring to Carney.
On another occasion of the liberals, Harper said that the “most of the problems” that affect Canada were not created by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, whose rates have eclipsed much of the electoral campaign, but “were created by liberal policy.”
