All this from a politician who spawned the most repressive, antagonistic, and controlling prime mister in Canadian history.  How short and selective is his memory when Mr. Harper went after government employees, scientists in government and academia, and any other citizen groups wanting to exercise their freedom of expression, which might have been contrary to his.  Let's not forget his great efforts at suppressing and distorting public information and his similar attitudes towards refugees from the Middle East as our new neighbor from the south is spewing.  When his government was defeated most people felt as if a boulder had been lifted from their chest.  Lest we forget!
