I would say average at best.   Given the good fiscal conditions they inherited when they took power in 2006 and the way Harper squandered hard fought measures (by cutting the GST TWICE instead of an equivalent cut in Income taxes) as well as the way Harper was totally clueless about the upcoming recession in 2008 and only adopted Stimulus after threat of Non-confidence (then proceeded to spend like a drunken sailor to buy the vote) - maybe a below average grade on economics is more appropriate.
